Three: See the Sea!
The UK has around 7,000 miles of coastline to explore, and there’s no better time to see it than during those warm summer months.
So whether you want to bed down with a book and a picnic, or create your own beach party with friends and a Bluetooth speaker, now’s the time to head for the coast!
Four: City Break!
Every UK city has its own unique character, and some are so close together that it’s possible to sample a completely different slice of life in a matter of hours.
This summer, why not take in a city you’ve never visited before? London alone promises enough adventures to last a lifetime, but there’s also much to see in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff… anywhere, really!
Just drive to a city, park up, and have a wander with an open mind.
