5 Places to Visit in the UK
Autumn might be here, but it doesn’t mean you can’t look to go out and explore more of the UK, see what it looks like as the season’s change and take a well-needed rest-bite before the craziness of the Christmas season kicks in. Here are a few places I think might be worth visiting even out of season:
Cornwall
I love Cornwall and have been there over most months of the year, I can definitely say that heading down there in autumn or winter is still well worth it. There is something wonderful about walking along the shore in the brisk wind and it is a sensation that everyone should experience at least once.
If you are looking for a great location for a large family to visit, then check out this post from Twins, Tantrums and Cold Coffee.
Lake District
For those who like walking then a trip to the Lake District should definitely be on the cards. With the country lanes and beautiful hills taking on a whole different look and feel, as beautiful colours of autumn take over the green of summer.
Blackpool
If you love seeing the bright lights, then visiting Blackpool Illuminations might be the perfect destination for you this autumn. With the lights already switched on as well, you can make the trip before it gets too blistering cold this winter.
London
There is perhaps nothing like visiting the beautiful city of London when it is Christmas. Along with all the shops being filled with festive cheer, there is, of course, streets filled with lights and pop up markets across the capital, which will help you get your Christmas shopping done in no time.
Birmingham
I may be biased as I live near Birmingham, but if you are going to visit one Christmas market this year, I most definitely think it should be the German Market in Birmingham. With over 180 stalls hitting the streets of Brum, it is always a great day out.
Where would you like to go on an autumn adventure to?
I wish I get to visit the UK soon. These five places are going to be my first stops!
I’ve never been to the UK – But if I ever go, these are definitely places I will consider checking out!
The lake district is a definite yes! It’s so beautiful! Although being from Blackpool and the local area, I wouldn’t advise it!
Funny you should write about this, as my hubby and I were just talking about UK weekend breaks! Sometimes you can do such great things here in the UK. We love the Lake Disctrict – perfect for long walks!
Okay I am packing now for a visit to London. This is on my bucket list. I would love to visit London. So many amazing sites and history in the UK
I’ve yet to visit Cornwall. It looks beautiful.
Oh my goodness! Such beauty and so much to see! The UK is definitely on my travel bucket list! I really want to take a few weeks to visit the UK, Ireland and Scotland!
I’m lucky enough to live in the Lake District, I’ve always wanted to visit Cornwall but it’s a trek from the North!
Oh you lucky person – I bet it is lovely having that around you all the time. x
I so need to travel more around the UK. I would love to visit the Lake District.
That is beautiful UK is listed on our bucket list too. I’m in the middle of processing my US Citizenship and I can’t wait to get approve soon. So I can travel across the world hassle free.
Good luck with you citizenship! I hope it doesn’t take you too much longer. x
Looks like a great list of places! I definitely want to visit Cornwall.
Can proudly say that I have been to all 5! I love the UK! Blackpool is my favourite! The theme park and right across is the splash park and then the beach! perfect weekend scene for me!
Yay! I’m the same the UK has so many amazing places to visit. x
I had a weekend in Blackpool a few weeks ago and the illuminations were great. Had a fantastic time!
I would love to see Birmingham next! London was amazing and you’ll really understand why people fall in love with the place once you visit! I can’t wait to go back again with my daughter!
Yes definitely come and see Birmingham – we have a lot of fun things to do around here 😉 x
Oh I’ve been to all of these places – all fab suggestions. We’re travelling to the lakes next month and can’t wait – I love it there x
i’m from near blackpool and i get to see the illuminations every year whenever i visit home. it is good if you haven’t seen them before
I need to explore the UK some more. So many lovely cities to visit.
I’ve never been to a Christmas market at all. The one in Birmingham sounds lovely and worth a visit.
Oh I hope you manage to get to one, one day where ever it maybe as they are great! x
I’m absolutely OBSESSED with going to Blackpool! Nobody understands it, but I’ve never been there, and before I get my citizenship, I’ve got to. Because what kind of a Brit would I be if I hadn’t been to Blackpool on me ‘ols?!
Hahah I hope you have a wonderful time when you go! x
Most definitely London! We love visiting Covent Garden and Somerset House. We’ve never visited Birmingham! Great list
I’m so happy to see that you included the Lake District here as it is my favourite place in the UK! xxx
The Lake District is my favourite UK destination, we went there for my 30th and it was amazing. Jo x
Blackpool Illuminations is where I would love to experience autumn. I love the tower and how beautiful it looks. Thanks for sharing these awesome places.
It always looks amazing doesn’t it – I love how it is on for so long as well, not just a few days or week. x
Visiting the Lake District is high up on my list of places that I do really want to visit in the UK x
It is beautiful, but I haven’t been for so long! Must try and go back sometime. x
I have never left the country but it sure looks like there are many fun places to visit. I keep telling myself that there is so much to see here that I don’t need to travel to another country but this looks like fun!
