Easter in the UK is a great time to experience spring, as many of the wild flowers start blooming in late March and early April and there is a real sense of change in the air. If you’re looking to stay in the UK in the spring, check out these recommendations of three areas to stay in to ensure you can make the most of the return of warm sunshine and longer days.

The Gower, Wales

This stretch of coast reaches along the southern tip of Wales, and is famous for its long sandy beaches and wild windswept shores. The temperature may still be a bit chilly over Easter, but the shorelines are sure to be almost empty, giving you plenty of space to roam in peace and solitude.

Cromer, Norfolk

This stretch of coastline is located in the south east of the UK, so you can expect slightly warmer temperatures and plenty of wildflowers blooming. Check out the nature reserves along the shore, there are some fabulous wetland bird species which return to the UK in spring. 

The Trossachs National Park, Scotland

Situated just north of Glasgow (in fact, some of the peaks are visible from the city on a clear day) and home to the famous Loch Lomond, the Trossachs feature some of Scotland’s wildest, most stunning landscapes. Spring is a great time to visit, there will still be a chill in the air but you can expect some slightly warmer breezes, plus opportunities to spot plenty of stunning wild flowers as you hike across the moors and mountains.
