The UK is full of natural beauty spots with epic coastlines, hidden coves, misty mountains and everything a nature-lover could desire in between.

With staycations increasing in popularity in the UK this year and temperatures soaring to heatwave levels, beaches and coastlines are becoming very packed. However, rather than making a beeline for Cornwall, Devon, the Lake District or the Highlands, you might want to try out some of the UK’s lesser-trodden beauties. You’ll not only be rewarded by sparser crowds, but you’re also less likely to stress out the locals. For up-to-date opening information, check individual websites.
