YOUR TIPS ON... SECRET BRITAIN From tiny off-the-beaten-track hamlets to unknown seaside towns and uncrowded walking trails, we asked for your secret spots in Britain. And it looks like you know every corner of it…
Endless surprises
North Norfolk, England “North Norfolk is delightful, especially the coastal stretch from Wells-next-the-sea to Sheringham. You can ride several heritage railways, go seal watching, walk with llamas, enjoy seafood (including the local crab), drink on a Dutch barge pub, enjoy coastal walks including a stroll on the vast beach adorned with colourful beach huts, visit the stately home Holkham Hall and much, much more!”
Lindsay Samaraweera
Beside the seaside...
Frinton-on-sea, England
”At this secret seaside spot in Essex you can walk along the beach front for miles and there are hundreds of multi-coloured beach huts. Visit the small high street to find local tea rooms and quaint coffee shops.” Rachael White
Rugged charm
South-west Cumbria, England “From the fine beach at Roanhead to the top of Black Combe and Swinside Stone Circle this forgotten part of Cumbria has all the rugged beauty without the throngs of people.” Rebecca Smith
Unsung town
Leek, England
“Isolated on the moors with no train station and nowhere near a motorway, Leek in Staffordshire is a great place to escape the crowds. It’s a real throwback, with butcher shops and bakeries on the street corners, but it also has a modern craft beer scene. There’s no way you could ever accidentally go through
Ancient wonders
Somerset, England “Everyone goes to Stonehenge but what about Stanton Drew Stones? Just outside Bristol is the third largest site of standing stones in England. There’s a loyalty box outside the main site and you can wander around the three stone circles. Don’t miss the neighbouring Druid’s Arms pub for a drink after, too!” Katherine Clifford
