Our top 5 Instagram-worthy destinations to visit in the UK
- Llyn Peninsula, Wales
Heading to Wales? If you’d like to see some golden sands, quaint villages and idyllic coastal scenery, the Llyn Peninsula won’t disappoint.
Whether you hike along the Wales Coast Path or explore ancient ruins, there’s plenty to capture along the way. Alternatively, you could simply relax and enjoy a slower pace of life in this unspoilt landscape. Expect tranquillity and mesmerising views from this AONB.
- Isle of Skye, Scotland
Despite being a remote island, Skye is perfectly equipped for tourists. There’s plenty of opportunities for respectful campers to pitch and park up: in Scotland, the right to roam allows everyone access to open green space.
Skye boasts rugged landscapes like misty moors and dramatic, rocky cliffs. Many visitors are inspired to visit and photograph the Fairy Pools, but there are incredible views from the Cuillin Hills too. If you’re taking your camper, make sure you take out motorhome insurance that covers your adventures in Scotland.
- St Michael’s Mount, Cornwall
St Michael’s Mount is a historic castle and abbey with panoramic views. Perched unexpectedly on a small rocky island off the coast of Cornwall, this destination is certain to impress.
Tourists can reach St Michael’s Mount either by boat or causeway, and there’s the option to explore the castle medieval rooms and gardens too. Coastal paths surround the castle, so it’s a good spot for those special occasion photoshoots.
- Coniston Water, Lake District
Nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park, this serene lake is surrounded by thick woodlands and towering mountain peaks. As one of the most distinct landscapes in the UK, Coniston Water combines the very best features of the Lake District.
Visitors can opt for leisurely walks or boat rides, or keen hikers might choose instead to summit the nearby Old Man of Coniston for panoramic views of the area. Don’t forget to pack a comfortable pair of walking boots!
- New Forest National Park
Lastly, those visiting the New Forest should expect to see a unique blend of wildlife, including free-roaming wild ponies, native deer, and waterfowl. Winding cycling trails, scenic footpaths and picturesque villages nestled between them offer plenty of opportunities to explore and relax.
Ideally located in the warmest part of England, this area of ancient woodland is a haven of heathlands and peaceful landscapes. Watch the sunset over rolling, green hills or see the fog rise just above the blooming heather.
