From countryside towns and villages to cities, there are plenty of places to visit in the UK that make it the perfect spot for a staycation. Not only that, but it is also home to a wide range of unique travel experiences that you aren’t likely to forget in a hurry.
So, if you’re on the lookout for a travel experience like no other, keep reading!
Take On The Northern 500 By Bike
The Northern 500 is one of the most popular road trip routes in the UK, taking you along Scotland’s stunning northern coast. This is memorable within itself, but you could take this one step further by taking on the route by motorcycle instead of a car. Be sure to purchase (or rent) a bike that you can trust ahead of time, such as a norton commando 961.
Celebrate The Solstice At Stonehenge
During both the summer and winter solstices, thousands of tourists from around the world visit Stonehenge. Not only does this provide them with the opportunity to watch the sun rise or set at one of the world’s most recognisable heritage sites, but it also gives them the chance to appreciate why it was erected in the first place. As such, if you were planning a trip that involved a stop at this site, consider doing so during this time period!
Visit Portmeirion In Wales
Portmerion is often described as one of Wales’ hidden gems – and for good reason. It is a coastal village that was designed to emulate the architecture in Portofino, Italy, which has since been enjoyed by thousands of tourists each year. It is also the filming location for the cult classic TV show, The Prisoner. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, though there are plenty of hikes and nature trails within the vicinity for those who are craving a bit of adventure, too.
Head Out On A Canal Boat Trip
Tired of staying in hotels or Airbnbs? Consider heading out on a canal boat trip again. Here, you can explore the beauty of England’s countryside and cities, depending on the route you decide to take. However, it is worth noting that this kind of trip is better suited toward those who prefer a slower rate of travel, as you cannot travel faster than 4mph!
Go For A Hike In Snowdonia
While hiking up Snowdonia may not seem all that unique, especially for those who regularly head out on this kind of adventure holiday, the truth is, no two trips to this national park are the same. Not only that, but there are plenty of different routes that you can follow, each of which will offer you a unique perspective on the region and the panoramic views that surround you.
Final Thoughts
In short, you do not have to travel all that far to experience something truly unique – from colourful towns that bring the sunshine of the Mediterranean to the UK, to snow-capped mountains with views that stretch for miles on end.
