Unique British Experiences

1. Unique British Experiences – 6 Cool Things to Do in the UK Let’s be honest –2020 wasn’t a fun year which means there’s a lot of pressure on 2021 to be good. Thankfully, things are starting to look up as the world is collectively trying to look past the gloom and doom and get back to normality. With Great Britain being as diverse as it is, and holidaying closer to home being the new fashion, why not take the kids on day trips or weekend breaks this summer? From hiking through enchanted forests to stargazing in vibrant national parks, you will find plenty of incredibly cool things to do in the UK both with kids and without. So, without further ado, let’s dive in and explore! Paddle boarding A brilliant way to combine exercise and the great outdoors, paddle boarding has gained a lot of popularity over the last decade. Stand-up paddle boarding, or SUP, is a novel to get fit and see new places whilst enjoying the beauty of nature. It’s the new quad biking, except it’s on water and you have to be standing up while cruising the waves. As one of the fastest growing water sports in the UK, SUP experiences can now be found across cities in the UK as visitors drink in the panoramic views from the UK’s pretty waterways. Whether it’s a meandering forested river in the Wye Valley, a circumnavigation of Burgh island off the Devon coast, or riding the rapids of the River Tay in Scotland, you can find paddle boarding destinations all across the UK.

2. Stargazing Night skies in the UK are a view to behold and a really cool thing to do with the kids when they are old enough to stay up a bit. Teaching your kids about astronomy and looking for constellations in the sky is a fun and exciting experience. Did you know that the South Downs National Park has been awarded Dark Sky Reserve status? It is one of only 16 places in the world that’s considered perfect for stargazing, making it both rare and exceptionally beautiful. But stargazing festivals can also be found elsewhere in the UK: There is an annual festival in Exmoor and the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales Fringe Festival, both scheduled for the end of October 2021. Stargazing is a unique experience that you and the kids will reminisce about for years to come. So, if you’ve never been, expect a panoramic adventure of a lifetime – no less!
