Bournemouth
With seven miles of sand and a bustling town, Bournemouth has more than most to offer. The abundance of shops, restaurants and bars mean any city slicker will be kept occupied, while the newly installed artificial surf reef in Boscombe provides a great way to go surfing UK!
Guernsey
If you want a warmer climate but with British heritage, how about a stop in gorgeous Guernsey? With its island lifestyle, white sands & rugged coastlines, Guernsey makes the perfect break, all payable by pound!
Scotland
We all know about Loch Ness, but there is so much more to explore in Scotland. An outdoor haven, it features plenty of opportunities to walk, climb and cycle across stunning scenery. With unique traditions and a history often featured on film, there is plenty to discover.
Brighton
One of the most vibrant cities in the UK, Brighton offers everything from art galleries to beachfront events. Take a stroll through the cobbled streets, eat fish & chips on the pier or party at one of the many clubs.
Bath
Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Bath offers some of the best architectural sites in the UK, including the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey and the Royal Crescent. After a short train ride, you can relax in Britain’s only natural thermal spa or cruise along the Avon canal. Students often rave about it, but Bath has something for everybody.
