Idyllic spots close to London

You don’t need to head far outside of busy London to before finding impressive locations worth a stop. The Cotswolds, just a short drive from the capital, is a small piece of heaven set amongst beautiful nature. Quaint villages, perfect views taken straight from a postcard, and winding country lanes – all with a peaceful air to transport you to a new world. A trip to the Cotswolds couldn’t feel any further from London city life.

There’s nothing like the beach to whisk you away from everyday life and give you a much-needed refresh. And it’s hard to beat Suffolk with its quintessentially English seaside towns to host your coastal escape. Or stick even closer to home and experience the other side of Essex. This large coastal county isn’t just glitz and glamour, its cliff faces, coves and beaches are some of the most peaceful you could find.

Follow the sun and head south of the city to lose yourselves in the diverse county of Hampshire. From exciting seaside cities to the breath-taking countryside villages, you can find it all and more in Hampshire. Unlock a new passion with a horse rise through the New Forest, stopping only to admire the impressive views and wildlife surrounding you. Or head to the beach for a fun day out by the pier with plenty of sweet treats and water sports to delight in.
