When you need a break, what do you often decide to do? Whether you fancy booking a short city break, or a week in the sun, it’s often tempting to go down the overseas route – because it’s what we’ve come to know. However, you might benefit from a staycation, by saying right on your doorstep. With a staycation, you can take all of your travel essentials, without the worry of your baggage being overweight. And, what’s more, you get to enjoy some of our country’s finest foods and eating houses!
There are some beautiful cities and towns in the UK as well as coastal resorts and more rural retreats. There truly is so much beauty in the United Kingdom that we don’t appreciate. From the hills of the Lake District to the shores of the North East coast all the way to Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland and the rolling hills of Scotland. Choosing a staycation will allow you to explore your country like never before.
5 Of The Best Places To Eat On Your Staycation
The Coast
Maybe the Coast is calling your name? Whether you live in a city, or the country, you can often feel as if you need to visit the coast, to take in the fresh air and relive your childhood memories. Sometimes, that calming coastal vibe is all you need to feel refreshed. Oh, and the food, of course. There’s nothing quite like eating on the coast. Whether you pop into beachfront fish and chip shop and enjoy your salt and vinegar dunked delights straight out of the paper, or head to a fancy restaurant, you have to eat our nation’s most loved dish when you visit the coast.
Admittedly I feel at home at the coast, when I can see the sea having lived in a coastal town not too far from Newcastle all of my life. Whitley Bay and Tynemouth are essential to visit if you’re looking to make great memories by the seaside. Tenby in Wales and Falmouth in Cornwall are also spots where we absolutely love what the coastal towns have to offer.
