]]> As an island nation, the UK boasts some incredible beaches, and those living in the southwest of the country would claim that the very best of the coastline is to be found in the counties of Devon and Cornwall. From rugged coves to vast sandy stretches, Devon offers some stunning beaches that can be enjoyed year-round. The North coast is favored for surfing, while the South coast offers plenty of swimming spots, not to mention some of the finest sections of the South West Coast Path. If you’re vacationing in the county of Devon, check out these three beaches which can’t be missed!

Woolacombe Bay, North Devon, England

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.

Dawlish Warren, South Devon, England

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.

Ayrmer Cove, South Devon, England

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.

]]> Sheffield is a bustling and vibrant city in the north of the UK, home to an amazing theatre, several art galleries and museums, and a thriving food scene that draws in visitors from miles around. Set at the very edge of the Peak District National Park, this city offers urban excitement along with plenty of green, open spaces. If you’re touring around the UK or are interested in visiting some of its smaller cities, Sheffield is a must-see. Check out three of the top reasons to visit here.

Food Scene

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.

Green Space

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.

Culture Capital

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.

]]> Brighton is a charming city on the south-east coast of the UK. Once a booming seaside resort, these days Brighton welcomes tourists who are looking for everything from a stroll along the seafront promenade to a fantastic shopping trip, to a foodie experience to remember. Brighton is easily accessible from London, being less than an hour away on the train, but with its relaxed seaside vibe, it can feel a world away from the busy capital. Check out three of the best things to do on a trip to this lovely city.

Catch Some Nature

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.

Enjoy the Culture

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.

Take a Seafront Stroll

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.

]]> Tea time is an iconic British tradition that dates back to the 19th century when the Duchess of Bedford started the habit of having tea and snacks in the afternoon to stave off hunger until dinner. Today, tea time is still a cherished practice throughout the country, and for many people, tea rooms are an essential part of the experience.

]]> Everyone knows Paris to be a romantic spot, but it’s not the only place with scenic views that will put romcoms to shame! London has some really beautiful, romantic locations to take your partner to. Here are some of the most romantic places in London!

Notting Hill

What’s more romantic than a casual stroll through a cute area, hand-in-hand? Well…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. 

Hampstead Heath Pergola and Hill Garden

We seriously don’t 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

Little Venice is one of those places that makes you question if you’re 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!

But just because the day-to-day life in London is costly doesn’t mean that your vacation has to be! if you happen to be on a limited budget, then fear not – here are some free hotspots to visit that are sure to be worth your while.

British Museum

Open Monday to Sunday from 10 am until 5 pm, the British Museum houses some of the greatest treasures uncovered in human history. From the legendary Rosetta Stone to ancient Egyptian mummies, the British Museum is sure to leave you in awe of the miraculous journey that humankind has taken throughout the ages.

Queen’s House

Located in the affluent London borough of Greenwich, the Queen’s House is an internationally acclaimed 16th century mansion that houses some of the finest architecture and artwork that the UK has to offer. Take a stroll along the prestigious lawns and have a cup of coffee at The Parkside CafΓ© scouring the halls of this lavish mansion. The Queen’s House is open daily from 10 am until 5 pm and is free to enter.

Richmond Park

Here’s one for nature lovers. Located near the heart of central London, Richmond Park is the ideal place to catch a break from the hustle and bustle of the city while spotting an array of wildlife, including birds, beetles, bats, and wildflowers.

]]> Are you traveling to England for the first time? How exciting! Even though they speak the same language, the culture and country couldn’t be any more different than America. To avoid faux pas, it’s important to have an idea of what to expect when visiting England. Here are five things you should know before heading overseas.

Stand on the Right

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.

Don’t Jump a Line

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.

Tipping is Generally Voluntary

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.

England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom Mean Different Things

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.

Drive on the Left

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.

]]> Fish and chips has become synonymous with England and when visiting London, you have to try one of the country’s most-loved dishes. Fish and chips shops can be found on almost every corner in the city, but it’s one of the hardest foods to nail. Often times it ends up being greasy and soggy, which is not what you want in fish and chips. If you’re looking to have the best of this traditional British dish, make sure you try it at one of these three London restaurants.

The Chipping Forecast

How can you not love this punny name? It’s just so British. The Chipping Forecast guarantees that your dish was swimming in Cornish waters no more than 48 hours beforehand and the fish and chips come fried in beef or rapeseed oil. For the batter, you can choose between beer batter, gluten-free beer batter, panko breadcrumbs, or grilled.

Sutton & Sons

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

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.

]]> If you’re the type who enjoys backpacking trips that last longer than a couple of nights but shorter than multiple months, you’ll probably be interested in hearing about Hadrian’s Wall, a long-distance footpath in the North of England that runs for 84 miles from the east to the west coast of the country.

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.

]]> Everyone knows Paris to be a romantic spot, but it’s not the only place with scenic views that will put romcoms to shame! London has some really beautiful, romantic locations to take your partner to. Here are some of the most romantic places in London!

Notting Hill

What’s more romantic than a casual stroll through a cute area, hand-in-hand? Well…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. 

Hampstead Heath Pergola and Hill Garden

We seriously don’t 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

Little Venice is one of those places that makes you question if you’re 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!

]]> Are you traveling to England for the first time? How exciting! Even though they speak the same language, the culture and country couldn’t be any more different than America. To avoid faux pas, it’s important to have an idea of what to expect when visiting England. Here are five things you should know before heading overseas.

Stand on the Right

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.

Don’t Jump a Line

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.

Tipping is Generally Voluntary

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.

England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom Mean Different Things

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.

Drive on the Left

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.

]]> Fish and chips has become synonymous with England and when visiting London, you have to try one of the country’s most-loved dishes. Fish and chips shops can be found on almost every corner in the city, but it’s one of the hardest foods to nail. Often times it ends up being greasy and soggy, which is not what you want in fish and chips. If you’re looking to have the best of this traditional British dish, make sure you try it at one of these three London restaurants.

The Chipping Forecast

How can you not love this punny name? It’s just so British. The Chipping Forecast guarantees that your dish was swimming in Cornish waters no more than 48 hours beforehand and the fish and chips come fried in beef or rapeseed oil. For the batter, you can choose between beer batter, gluten-free beer batter, panko breadcrumbs, or grilled.

Sutton & Sons

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

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.

]]> If you’re the type who enjoys backpacking trips that last longer than a couple of nights but shorter than multiple months, you’ll probably be interested in hearing about Hadrian’s Wall, a long-distance footpath in the North of England that runs for 84 miles from the east to the west coast of the country.

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.
