Whether you live in the US or anywhere else in the world, there are some amazing places that you should consider visiting in the UK.
When it comes to summer vacations, it’s far too easy to get stuck in a rut, visiting the same places again and again. This summer, why not plan a different sort of vacation and head to the UK for a more relaxed trip.
Admittedly, the UK doesn’t have the sun guaranteed, like Spain or Greece, but it’s still an amazing place for a trip. There are lots of fantastic things to see and do in the UK. From visiting metropolitan cities to relaxing on the beach, it is a very versatile place.
If you are considering taking a trip the UK, make sure to have a read of this first. To help you plan the perfect trip, I have put together a guide to the places you have to see.
London
While you might think that stopping off in the UK’s capital city goes without saying, I had to mention it. London is an amazing place, it has so many different things to see and do, making it the perfect place to start.
From amazing shopping facilities – Westfields to museums, galleries, and tours, London has it all. The London Eye, Madame Tussauds, Kew Gardens, and Buckingham Palace are all must-sees.
London can be overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to try to fit too much in, but don’t. If there are things, you can’t fit in, save them for your next trip.
Blackpool
The UK is known for its beaches, with one of its most iconic and well-known beach being Blackpool. Once you have seen London, the next place to visit has to be Blackpool.
Ideally, at get a proper feel for this seaside town, you want to spend at least three or four days here. There is just so much to see and do, from swimming at the beach to exploring the top restaurants in Blackpool, it’s impossible to do it all.
The places you have to visit are Blackpool Zoo, Blackpool Pleasure Park and, of course, the iconic Blackpool Tower.
Cornwall
Cornwall is a seaside region that is very different to Blackpool. The beaches and seaside towns in Cornwall are much less commercialized that Blackpool.
Cornwall is famous for three things; it’s surfing, Cornish pasties and cream teas. As well as the less commercialized beaches, Cornwall also has Newquay Beach, the surfing capital of the UK. If you like to surf, this is one place that is worth a visit.
When in Cornwall, the three things you don’t want to miss are a cream tea, surfing and the beaches. Cornwall has lots to offer. However, it’s attractions are more limited than in Blackpool.
There are so many amazing places in the UK; these are just three examples. There are mountains in Scotland to explore, lakes in the Lake District, cities like Bristol and Cardiff; there is a lot more to see in the UK.
