Top 3 places to visit in the UK

Great Britain is home to a combination of adventures and attractions. Okay, it may not have southern Spain’s sunshine, but it has a uniqueness that is unrivalled. The home of quirky villages, stunning scenery, beauty spots and a variety of cultures is what makes Britain great.

You can enjoy a hearty roast dinner in a quirky little pub next to a log fire or fresh fish and chips on the windy coast. It is the only place to get the full British experience.

Here is some inspiration of places you can visit in the UK. From the snowy mountains of Scotland to the yellow sandy beaches of Cornwall, this amazing country has something to offer from top to bottom and all in-between.

Whitby

This British seaside town is full of quaint tea shops in a maze of cobbled streets and glorious North Sea beachside. The historic fishing port of Whitby attracts year round visitors and is the town that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

It is the ultimate location to experience some real British fish and chips. Magpie Café is the most famous of the coastal town and foodies don’t mind queuing out of the door for the legendary taste of battered cod. The Café has stood on the quayside for an amazing 75 years and serves 20 types of fish, all brought in fresh each day.

The towns and villages around Whitby along the rest of the Yorkshire Coast are also popular tourist attractions and you can enjoy plenty of day trips out to places like Filey and Scarborough and picturesque coastal retreats of Robin Hood’s Bay and Runswick bay.

Steeped in history, there are many attractions that are connected to the town’s interesting past. Choose from the Captain Cook Museum to learn about the famous explorer’s life in the port town. Or experience the Dracula Experience on the seafront, where you can be guided through the story and its connection to the town.
