The best places to visit in England in Summer

Manchester

By Lauren at Pack and Paint

As a born and bred Mancunian, the city will always have a special place in my heart. Despite now living in Leicester, my love for my hometown has never left me. After living there for 27 years, I like to think I know my stuff when it comes to Manchester.

As well as being a fabulous place to live, Manchester should be on everybody’s UK bucket list in my (expert) opinion. The city combines culture, an amazing live music scene and one of the best nights out England has to offer. Additionally, the city boasts an impressive history and some lovely nature trails, meaning there truly is something for everyone in this diverse northern gem.

In the Summer months, Manchester comes alive with outdoor gigs and festivals. Furthermore, there are a number of super popular bars with outdoor terraces to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the sunshine.

I could go on forever, but trust me when I say that Manchester is one of the VERY best places to visit in the UK in the Summer.

North Norfolk Coast

By Izzy at Norfolk Travel Guide

With a million years of history, fabulous beaches, traditional seaside resorts and dramatic landscapes backed by huge skies, the North Norfolk Coast is one of the most stunning parts of the United Kingdom.

The coastline, part of which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, consists of long and deep sandy beaches, soft glacial cliffs, salt marshes, shingle ridges and sand dunes, making the area a haven for bird and wildlife, and the perfect place for coastal walking.

Dotted along the coast are seaside towns like Cromer and Sheringham, which offer the perfect environments for family holidays, with great beaches and lots of traditional attractions. Try your hand at crabbing from Cromer pier, or take a boat ride to Blakeney Point to see the UK’s largest seal colonies as they bask on the sandbanks there.

Inland from the coast, Norfolk has a wealth of castles, stately homes and theme parks to visit – from Royal Sandringham, the Queen’s favourite residence, to BeWILDerwood, the award-winning woodland adventure park.

You’ll also be able to discover ancient history, with fossilised human footprints and a huge Mammoth skeleton that were found along this coastline, evidence that Norfolk had its first tourists nearly one million years ago! You can still go fossil hunting today, amongst the rock pools that appear as the tide goes out, before heading back to dry land for well-earned fish and chips!

Wells Next The Sea

By Anisa at Two Traveling Texans

If you want to spend some time at the beach during the summer, head to the North Norfolk Coast where you will find some of the best beaches in the UK. Wells-Next-the-Sea is a seaside town that offers more than just a nice beach.

It’s a great destination for art lovers as there are a few art galleries to check out. During the summer months, you don’t want to miss the Lifeboat Horse sculpture that sits on the harbour sand. It’s fully visible at low tide, then as the tide rises the horse becomes partially submerged like it’s swimming. Additionally, an old maltings building has been transformed into art, heritage and community centre called Wells Maltings.

Wells beach is about a mile away from the town, but definitely worth the effort to get to it. It’s known for its colourful beach huts on stilts and has a huge sandy area during low tide. The water is calm so ideal for swimming, but you do need to be careful and heed the siren as the tide comes in quickly.

Nearby, you can visit Holkham Park. In addition to the historic Holkham Hall, you can also see the walled garden, playground, lake, temple, and more. There are several waymarked walks suitable for all levels.

The Peak District

By Zoe at Zoe Goes Places

The Peak District National Park in the heart of England is worthy of a visit all year round. But, in summer, it really is the place to be. Countryside walks, cute towns and plenty of outdoor activities, what’s not to love?!

If hillwalking is your kind of thing, you’ll want to check out Chrome Hill, Shining Tor or Kinder Scout. Or if you prefer walking on the flat, add Ladybower Reservoir, Lud’s Church and Padley Gorge to your must-visit list. Aside from walking, you can taste the namesake water in Buxton, the tarts in Bakewell and the cheese in Hartington. Of course, all of these come with countryside pubs for drinks and food to enjoy well into the long, light evenings.

For the perfect walk and picturesque village combination, you need to visit Castleton and walk up Mam Tor and along the Great Ridge. The village is small but has a couple of pubs, cafes, restaurants and a visitor centre. Plus, you can visit the nearby Peveril Castle ruins or Peak Cavern and Speedwell Cavern for an underground experience. Then, you can climb the distinctive Mam Tor peak with its collapsed side and walk along the Great Ridge with views over Edale and Hope Valley.

Scarborough

By Hannah at Get Lost

Scarborough in North Yorkshire is one of the most popular beach destinations in the UK. And when you visit this charming seaside town, it is easy to see why! Scarborough uniquely blends the traditional British seaside nostalgia with all the comforts of a modern UK summer getaway.

The incredible selection of things to do in Scarborough is what makes it one of the best places to visit in the UK in summer. The town is home to a series of beautiful gardens which look stunning during their summer bloom. Shuttleworth Gardens, South Cliff Gardens and Peasholm Park are lovely places for a summer stroll in the sea breeze.

But if you are looking for a more traditional seaside experience, the Scarborough seafront is where you want to be. You can try your luck at the arcades with traditional penny slot machines alongside immersive virtual reality headsets. And of course, you must tuck into fish and chips after a stroll along Scarborough Beach!

Two highlights you don’t want to miss include the Central Tramway Company and the Scarborough Fair Collection. Central Tramway is the oldest cliff tramway company in the country, and it promises beautiful views over the beach. Scarborough Fair Collection is home to an impressive array of vintage fairground rides, mechanical organs plus vintage cars and steam engines. It brings back all the fun of the fair with a good dose of nostalgia!

A seaside escape is a perfect way to soak up the British summer, and Scarborough is the ideal spot for visitors of all ages!

Dorset

By Samantha at Continuous Roamer

Dorset is a coastal region in the south of England, encompassing east Devon to Bournemouth. It is also home to the spectacular Jurassic Coastline – aptly named due to its remarkable fossils and landforms.

There are numerous seaside towns that make a good base for a summer holiday in Dorset, such as Weymouth, Bournemouth, and Swanage.

One of the best times to visit Dorset is in the summer months to make the most of the warmer weather on the UK’s south coast. Some of the best things to do in Dorset include its beaches, clifftop walks, and outdoor historic sites. Therefore, the weather needs to be cooperative to experience Dorset to its fullest.

One of the places that should not be missed in Dorset is the impressive rock formation named Durdle Door, a natural arch formed over thousands of years. Another nearby site to visit in Dorset is the beautiful Lulworth Cove with bright blue water.

Some other fun activities to experience in Dorset include a ride on the Swanage Railway, a walk along Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, and a visit to the historic Corfe Castle. Try a slice of local Dorset apple cake while visiting these coastal towns.

Cambridge

By Lana at Wallflower in Wanderland

Located just an hour north of London, Cambridge is one of the UK’s most visited cities. There’s something for all sorts of venturers in Cambridge, from enjoying a picnic in of the many parks to joining on a walking tour of the city, or turning back time to learn the long history.

Year-round activities and attractions include going punting on the River Cam, having a spot of brunch in an independent coffee shop, exploring by bicycle on a cycling tour, exploring the free-to-enter Fitzwilliam Museum, or taking a visit to Kettle’s Yard. The most infamous attraction and what Cambridge is most known for would be King’s College and King College Chapel. Many love to flock to Cambridge in order to admire the Cambridge Colleges, there are 31 to tick off, so be sure to keep count!

To make things as easy as possible, there are several tours available within Cambridge. These include the Cambridge highlights tour, the hop-on hop-off bus tour, the Hidden Cambridge walking tour, Treasure Hunt Cambridge and the Haunted Cambridge tour.

The summer brings sunshine, and with it, even more magic to this beautiful city. The parks come alive with marvellous multi-cultural performances and arts activities as part of the annual ‘Summer in the City’ programme. There are also numerous festivals which take place in the summer such as ‘Strawberry Fair’, ‘Cambridge Mela’, ‘The Big Weekend’, and ‘Music in the Parks’ just to name a few.

Brighton

By Erica at Travels With Erica

Brighton is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in the UK in the summer. The weather is beautiful, you can swim in the water, and there are countless outdoor activities to keep you busy.

The main draw for people to visit Brighton in the summer is the seafront and Brighton Palace Pier. You can bike near the water, go kayaking, play sports, and even ride a rollercoaster along the seafront.

Unfortunately, the beaches in Brighton aren’t sandy beaches, so you can’t lie out in the sun all day. If you do want to get a tan, be sure to pick up one of the free beach chairs provided by the city. You can find them at the top of the beach and sometimes already set up on the beach.

While the seafront is the main draw, it isn’t the only thing Brighton has to offer. During the heat of the day, sneak away from the seafront and visit the Royal Pavilion and the Lanes.

The Royal Pavilion was built by King George IV, and the city has refurbished the pavilion to look like it did when King George IV lived there. You can tour the building and get a sense of the king’s quirky and eccentric style.

The Lanes are a series of small, winding streets in the heart of Brighton. They’re full of boutique shops and local restaurants. If you’re looking for good food in Brighton, the Lanes is the first place you should start looking.

The Cotswolds

By Shobha at Epic England Travel

Covering almost 800 acres, the Cotswolds is located west of London and an easy trip from the city. The area covers several counties and many towns and villages. Some of the most well-known towns are Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton-in- Marsh. The houses in the Cotswolds are made of a distinctive honey-coloured hue which makes the villages and towns glow in the sun. The Cotswolds has lots of pretty villages to explore including one that many consider the prettiest town in all of England, Castle Combe.

The Cotswolds is home to a lot of celebrities (and aristocrats). Prince Charles’ Highgrove estate is located in The Cotswolds. As a result, this area has a lot of amenities despite being a rural idyll.

One of the biggest attractions in the Cotswolds is Blenheim Castle, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, and a Unesco World Heritage site. Blenheim Castle also has extensive gardens to explore. One of the best things to do in The Cotswolds is to hike its paths which meander through beautiful countryside filled with fields, woodlands and meadows.

The Cotswolds is very much a family-friendly destination. In the summer, Cotswold Water Park is a great place to cool off and enjoy water sports. Kids will love The Cotswold Falconry Center and the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens.

Adults will love that the Cotswolds has lots of great pubs and restaurants. Very much a foodie destination, the best places rely on locally produced goods from nearby farms. There are also a lot of tea shops when you need a break from all the sightseeing!

Birmingham

By Astrid at The Wandering Daughter

While Birmingham might not be an obvious choice to spend a summer in England, it’s definitely a city not to be missed. Peaky Blinders fans will enjoy experiencing the city’s many filming locations. But even those who are unfamiliar with the show can find things to love in this unassuming city, including history, culture, and nature.

As the second-biggest city in England, Birmingham played a large role in the Industrial Revolution. This is primarily due to its close proximity to the Black Country, named because of its many coal mines. Because of the coal mines of the Black Country, Birmingham became the epicentre of industry and metal crafts.

The city is a fantastic destination for discovering unique information about science, history and technology. Visitors can learn about the area’s industrial history with a visit to the Black Country Living Museum, just outside of the city. And within the city, museums like the Pen Museum or the more popular Think Tank Science Museum offer insight into Birmingham’s industrial past.

Birmingham is also near Warwick Castle, a Medieval castle constructed by William the Conqueror in 1068. And nearby National Trust – Clent Hills is a beautiful location for hiking and camping.

The city of Birmingham is known for its non-conformist culture that’s often hard to describe. It lacks the sophistication and flash of London but possesses a realness that is refreshing for the traveller.

Cornwall

By Sarah at Cornwalls Best

Cornwall is England’s most south-westerly county and a superb place during the summer. The county’s magnificent sub-tropical gardens are in full bloom and are truly spectacular – you’ll want to make a beeline to the top gardens such as the Eden Project – the famous series of eco gardens in a reclaimed china clay pit, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and some of the National Trust favourites like Glendurgan.

Land’s End is also a must in Cornwall, it’s England’s most south-westerly point and a mythical location. Summer is perhaps the best time to visit the stunning Minack Theatre, near the village of Porthcurno in West Cornwall, this outdoor theatre was carved out of the rocks on the cliff face!

Summer, too, is also a great time to walk at least part of the South West Coast Path. This 630-mile track is the UK’s longest and best-loved National Trail and it follows much of the coastline of Cornwall across truly glorious landscapes. Cornwall is famous for food too. And you should plan to be here on June 29th, National Cream Tea Day. Remember, the correct way to eat your scone, jam, and cream is to put the jam on first.

Kielder, Northumberland

By Sarah at Northumberlands Best

Home to Europe’s largest manmade lake, and England’s largest forest, Kielder Water and Forest is a stunning place to visit in summer in the UK. Kielder is located in the most northerly county of Northumberland, England’s least populated county. It makes it a truly special place to visit.

There are some great water sports here – from sailing, windsurfing, and stand-up paddleboarding to kayaking. Add to that the miles of purpose-built trails for walking, hiking, horse-riding, and cycling and it’s an outdoor enthusiasts’ paradise. There’s even a 26-mile track that encircles Kielder Water itself. Wildlife is in abundance and it’s one of the only areas in the UK where you can see native red squirrels.

There are some great small towns around, like the popular Bamburgh on the coast and Alnwick further inland, but you’ll want to stay in Kielder to get the benefit of one of the best things to do in Kielder. As once darkness falls, Kielder is a stunning location for viewing the night sky, the area is a Dark Skies location.

The Kielder Observatory is located in Europe’s largest gold-tier dark sky park and on winter nights is a glorious place for viewing galaxies and nebulae, while summer is great for shooting stars and other amazing sights.

London

By Dymphe at DympheAbroad

One of the best places to visit in the United Kingdom in Summer is the city of London. This is the capital of the country, and there are many fun things to do and see there. For example, seeing famous sights such as Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and Big Ben.

You can also join some walking tours to increase your knowledge of this popular destination. This is a lot of fun when the sun is shining in the city.

There are also several parks and gardens in the city that are great to visit in summer. For example, you can have a picnic at Hyde Park or go for a relaxing walk at the Kew Gardens. Also, there are many events during this time of year that you can attend. For example, Summer Lights is a festival that takes place at Canary Wharf. During it, you can see beautiful art installations.

Furthermore, there are outdoor movie theatres where you can see a movie while being outdoors during great weather. Also, it is great to relax at a rooftop bar in the evening when it is still light outside.

Believe it or not, you can visit London without spending a small fortune.

North Devon

By Joanna at The World In My Pocket

North Devon is like a small piece of heaven, with fantastic landscapes and plenty of hiking opportunities. North Devon is best visited in summer when you have the most chances for good weather, as most of the attractions of the area are outdoors.

One of the most beautiful seaside towns to visit in Devon is Clovelly, located in the North of the county. There is an £8 fee to enter the village, unless you are hiking to it, on the Coastal Path. It is however very worth it, as with the ticket you get free parking, as well as entrance to the local museum and fisherman’s house. The village alleys are very steep, and covered with stones, which contribute to its charm.

Another great thing to do in North Devon is hiking on the coast. A spectacular day hike is from Woolacombe Beach to Ilfracombe, another pretty fishing village. The path follows the coast offering dramatic scenery that you will want to photograph after every step. This is also a great place to spot seals, which like to chill on the stones below the cliffs.

When you visit North Devon you must enjoy a cream tea at a tea house with a view. The black tea is served alongside scones, clotted cream, and jam. The Devon way is to always have the jam on top.

The Isles of Scilly

By Jon at Backpacking Man Travel

If you’re looking for a sub-tropical paradise group of islands just off the coast of Cornwall, then The Isles of Scilly are waiting for you to visit.

This is the perfect destination in the summer as it has white sand beaches to relax on and great walks around the 5 inhabited islands. There are plenty of historic places to visit as well, such as the garrison and ancient burial mounds connected with an ancient village on St Mary’s Island, and Cromwell’s Castle on Tresco Island.

St Mary’s Island is the main island of the archipelago and is where you will find the most accommodation and food options. One good place to stay is at Mincarlo Guesthouse and a great place to eat for sunset views is Juliet’s garden.

On Tresco, there is also the Abbey Garden, famed all over the U.K. for its collection of sub-tropical plants that grow nowhere else in the country. A must-visit for garden lovers.

A must-do activity is to go snorkelling with seals at the Eastern Isles, with trips run there from St Martin’s Island. St Agnes Island has some epic views out onto the wild Atlantic Ocean and a boat trip out to the Western Rocks is great for wildlife enthusiasts as you can see many seals bathing on the rocks there, and the trip will also take you to Bishop Lighthouse, the furthest point west in Britain.

The final of the 5 inhabited islands is the laid-back Bryher Island where you can take slow walks out to places such as Hell’s Bay, where the wild Atlantic Ocean waves roll in to crash against the rocks.

The best places to visit in Scotland in Summer

Edinburgh

By Pamela at The Directionally Challenged Traveler

The best place to visit in the UK during the summer months has to be Edinburgh. The city comes alive with festivals and traditions throughout the summer. These bring artists, musicians, actors, and more from across the world.

Edinburgh’s festivals start in July but August is the real show. Festivals include the Edinburgh Art Festival, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the Edinburgh International Book Festival, and the Edinburgh International Festival all take place in August. However, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the main attraction. Musicians from around the world hope to perform at this incredible festival.

If you end up in Edinburgh and the UK in the other summer months, don’t worry there are still plenty of things to experience. Edinburgh is a city of history, with no shortage of beautiful buildings, inspiring museums, and of course, mouthwatering food!

Right in the heart of the city, you’ll find plenty of things to do on the Royal Mile. This road is actually a little over a mile and is home to so much history. From the towering Edinburgh Castle to the stunning St. Giles Cathedral, down to Holyrood Palace, there’s no shortage of Instagrammable photos! If you need a break from the city or the festivals, head to the Royal Botanic Garden for beautiful flora or hike up Arthur’s Seat for panoramic views of the city.

No matter what you decide to do, you’ll be glad you visited Edinburgh!

St Andrews

By Vidyut at Triplyzer

Located by the North Sea, St. Andrews is one of the most gorgeous destinations in Scotland. In summer, travellers are spoilt for choices, they have options from golfing to enjoying the beach and from hiking to having homemade ice cream.

This is the place where the game of golf was first played! There are several courses here but Old Course is the holy grail of them all. You can either take a guided tour or wander on your own on non-golf days. Don’t miss the Swilcan Bridge, a famous photo stop.

St. Andrews is also a university town, and it’s a delight to walk amongst the historic buildings. The grand St. Salvator’s Quad with its beautiful chapel takes the prime spot.

The city is also known for its beautiful beaches, the West Sands Beach is a popular choice, thanks to the pristine sand idle for walking.

St. Andrews Cathedral and St. Andrews are two medieval structures not to be missed. On the church’s ground climb up the 12th-century St. Rule’s Tower for sweeping views of the city. Though in ruins now, the imposing St Andrews Castle was once home to the Bishop. The more adventurous kind would love exploring the old tunnels and dungeons.

For foodies, the century-old Jannettas Gelateria is a famous spot for freshly made ice cream.
