]]>Around half an hour’s drive from the town of Barnstaple is the stunning Woolacombe Bay. Famed for its excellent surfing conditions, in the high summer season you will find this beach packed with surfers, swimmers, paddlers, and sunbathers alike. In the winter season, a walk along the beach is sure to be bracing but worth it. There are several car parks in the town of Woolacombe, as well as plenty of cafes and restaurants so you can refuel after your sea dip.
This beach combines beautiful sand dunes with gentle surf and a nearby wildlife sanctuary, for a great day out for the whole family. You can drive or take the train to Dawlish from Devon’s capital, Exeter. You will find plenty of sandy beaches, dunes to explore, and the estuary bird sanctuary tucked behind the dunes. As in Woolacombe, there are cafes and restaurants in Dawlish which will serve up a Devon cream tea (scones with cream and jam), or that British classic, fish and chips.
This beach is a little off the beaten track, and you will need to walk a small section of the South West Coast Path to reach it. The payoff, however, is that even in the high summer season this beach is emptier than many stretches of sand nearby. Do be aware that if you’re planning on swimming, there is no lifeguard nearby, so follow sensible precautions and don’t get in the water unless you feel confident in your swimming ability and knowledge. If you’re not swimming, there are still plenty of beach activities to do, including some rock pooling and sand castle building.

]]>Despite its small size, Sheffield offers up a huge array of incredible cafes and restaurants, not to mention some pretty fabulous street food stalls. Whether you fancy some traditional British fare, a Bangladeshi curry, a Korean feast or some Italian pizza, you can find a massive range of cuisines and culinary cultures on display in the city. To top this off, most of the eating in the city is relatively cheap, in acknowledgment of its large student population and the unpretentious attitude of its citizens.
Traveling by train out of Sheffield city center, you can be within the boundaries of the Peak District National Park within 15 minutes. Stop off at Edale station for incredible access to the heart of the Peaks, or visit one of the many country parks around the edges of the city.
Sheffield has plenty going on in terms of its arts and culture. Check out the Crucible or Lyceum theatres for some contemporary theatre of a very high standard. The Millennium Art Gallery is free to enter and hosts a range of contemporary art, much of which reflects on Sheffield’s industrial heritage and recent past.

]]>Being by the sea, Brighton is a great place to spot some wildlife. It is famous for its murmurations (gatherings) of birds such as starlings, as they may be seen swirling and dipping over the sea towards sunset on most days. You can also keep an eye out for marine mammals including seals and even dolphins, which are sometimes spotted from the shore.
Brighton is home to many independent art galleries, theatres, and music venues, and there’s a real sense of creativity within the city. Make sure you head to the Lanes, a couple of streets towards the center of town which showcase some great independent shops and market stalls. Along the seafront, don’t miss the ‘upside down house’, a major photo opportunity that perfectly encapsulates Brighton’s quirky heart.
Brighton is famous for its Victorian-era palatial homes and hotels which face out to sea. You can take a great walk along the paved seafront, enjoying the views of this great architecture in one direction and of the sparkling blue ocean in the other. You can hire a bike if you want a faster way of getting around the city, or take it easy and stop off for an ice cream mid-promenade.

York is another city that offers easy access to the tranquil English countryside. The North York Moors are just a short drive away. Youβll love the dramatic landscapes of heather moorland, ancient woodlands, and rugged coastlines.
The city of Oxford is not only famous for its prestigious university but also its proximity to some of England’s most enchanting countryside. From here, you can explore the Oxfordshire countryside and enjoy its picturesque towns like Henley-on-Thames. You can also stop by charming villages such as Dorchester-on-Thames. Plus, donβt miss the Thames Path for a scenic afternoon walk.

]]>Whatβs more romantic than a casual stroll through a cute area, hand-in-hand? Wellβ¦not much! Notting Hill is the perfect backdrop for a romantic walk. With the trendy and bright-colored buildings, there is plenty to look at while you enjoy the company of your person.
We seriously donβt think it gets more romantic than the Hampstead Heath Pergola and Hill Garden! With pathways and columns covered in vines and perfectly imperfect landscaping, this is the romantic spot that puts all other romantic spots to shame. The architecture and landscaping intertwine so beautifully, you can spend hours and hours getting lost in the beauty of it all.
Little Venice is one of those places that makes you question if youβre even in London anymore. The stunning canals are a perfect place to walk around, take a canal ride together, or just sit along the water and talk about anything. You can even have a little picnic along the water if you wanted to!

]]>This is a standard rule in the country, but it’s essential if you’re using London underground. Also, don’t stand on the left when on an escalator as people in a hurry will rush past you on the left.
A line, known as a queue in England, is there for a reason. It’s important to wait patiently when in line and to keep your space.
In most places in England, tipping is voluntary. If you want to tip for good service, you can leave 10%. Sometimes a service fee of 10% has already been added, which means you’re not expected to tip.
It’s super confusing that these three names mean different things. England refers to the country, Great Britain includes England, Scotland, and Wales, and the United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland.
One of the most daunting things in England is that they drive on the left side of the road instead of the right. You’ll also find that most cars in the UK are manual, not automatic and the roads are really narrow.

]]>How can you not love this punny name? It’s just so British.

With three locations in London: Islington, Stoke Newington, and Hackney Central, Sutton & Sons has amazing crisp-battered fish and fluffy chips as well as homemade pickles and tartar sauce. They also have a vegan menu with fried “fish” including banana blossom, tofish and “scampi”, mock “prawn” cocktails, and a fishcake without fish.
Golden Union‘s sustainable fish selection is cooked to order in its homemade batter and blend of oils. The fluffy and golden chips are the showstopper. In addition to fried fish, there’s coley, rock salmon, fishcakes, and hot pies.

]]>Constructed by Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD, Hadrian’s Wall Path is the only coast-to-coast trail that follows a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Only some of the Wall is still visible above ground, but there are numerous museums along the route that can provide a glimpse into ancient English life.
As you walk this path, which takes from five to ten days to complete, you’ll pass through rolling fields and big cities alike. Best of all, it’s one of the most accessible backpacking trails, with a clearly marked route. In short, if you’re reasonably fit, you should have no problem walking Hadrian’s Wall path.
To avoid the path being too muddy and difficult to walk in, it’s recommended to walk between May and October, with the most popular time for hikers to take on Hadrian’s Wall being July and August.
