"This charming, compact and walkable city is awash with medieval architecture and magnificent buildings, such as the gothic cathedral, with one of the oldest working clocks in the UK (late 14th century) and the Bishop's Palace and Gardens. Within easy reach of the Mendip Hills, Cheddar Gorge and the Wookey Hole Caves, Wells makes for a low-key alternative to tourist-soaked Bath."
"The Ardnamurchan peninsula, which includes the most westerly point in mainland Britain at Corrachadh Mor, is stunning. With my partner, I spent a night wild camping by the shell-sand beach at Sanna Bay, surrounded by the machair grassland and wildflowers. It was absolutely stunning. We walked to Ardnamurchan lighthouse, spotted some dolphins, and swam in the sea in cold but crystal clear waters."
"The simplicity of the trip and not having to check in at any accommodation was a plus. I would recommend it to everybody. North Berwick in East Lothian always feels like a proper holiday without needing a passport. Take the early train, walk straight down to the beach, then continue past the harbour towards the Scottish Seabird Centre, where the light over the Firth of Forth changes by the minute."
"If the tide is out, the views are cinematic with the sand stretching so wide. On clear early evenings Bass Rock turns gold and you wonder how somewhere so close to Edinburgh can still feel quietly"
Wells in Somerset features medieval architecture and major landmarks including a gothic cathedral with an old working clock, plus the Bishop’s Palace and Gardens. The city is close to the Mendip Hills, Cheddar Gorge, and the Wookey Hole Caves, making it a calmer alternative to Bath. The Ardnamurchan peninsula offers dramatic scenery, including Corrachadh Mor, and supports wild camping at Sanna Bay with shell-sand beaches, machair grassland, and wildflowers. A trip can include walking to Ardnamurchan lighthouse, spotting dolphins, and swimming in clear cold sea water without accommodation check-ins. North Berwick in East Lothian provides a holiday feel via an early train, direct beach access, and views that shift around the Scottish Seabird Centre and Bass Rock.
