Britain is home to some of the loveliest villages in the world. These little towns overflow with charm, history and fantastic country walks. Here are four of the most beautiful villages to visit in the UK.

Rye, East Sussex, England

An hour and a half from Brighton, Rye is both peaceful and picturesque. Its cobblestone streets are lined with charmingly crooked houses, eclectic vintage and antique shops, and lovely river views.

Snowshill, Gloucestershire, England

This pretty English village is famous for its lavender fields, located in the nearby Snowshill Manor. Other interesting things you can find on the National Trust property are Charles Wade’s eccentric collections of toys, furniture, and musical instruments.

Bamburgh, Northumberland, England

The seaside village of Bamburgh is located on the Northumberland coast in North East England. Its three main streets are lined with 18-century cottages turned pubs, cozy B&Bs, and charming tea rooms. But the real highlight is definitely Bamburgh Castle, which overlooks the town’s golden beach and grassy sand dunes from the top of a 190ft hill.

Betws-y-Coed, Conwy County Borough, Wales

Betws-y-Coed is surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery Northern Wales has to offer. Lakes, gushing waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, natural hot springs, and lush forests make this Victorian village paradise for nature lovers.
