Go on a Foodie Break in Yorkshire

Outside of London, Yorkshire has gained the reputation for having the highest concentration of Michelin-star restaurants in the UK. This means that you will have an abundance of choices for great food. Even without hurting your wallet, there are many places where you can enjoy budget-friendly eats. Among others, Malton is perhaps the most popular amongst foodies. An annual food and beer festival is held here. York is another area that is not to be missed, which is popular for eclectic mix of restaurants. Bradford is also a good place to visit, especially because for several years, it has been recognised as The Curry Capital of Britain.

Some of the best that you should visit include Whitsand Bay, Godrevy Beach, Praa Sands Beach, Perranporth, Marazion Beach, Porthmeor Beach, and Kynance Cove.

Go Camping in Gloucestershire

Forget about the luxury of hotel accommodations. Go back to basics and experience living outdoors. One of the best ways to do this would be through camping in Gloucestershire, specifically at Abbey Home Farm. This will allow you to reconnect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of city living. There is a communal fire that will be perfect for social interaction and for enjoying some marshmallows at night.

Explore Bradford on Avon

This small town in Wiltshire is one that is overlooked by many, but it can be a promising choice for a quick UK break. Among others, the Georgian houses that adorn the streets give it a distinct charm. It has a wide selection of independent shops, as well as quaint cafes. It has a relaxing ambiance and will also make a good romantic destination. It is also popular for its traditional dining pubs that serve some of the best British dishes. There are also several choices for shopping, such as Silver Street Studio and Made in Bradford.
