Northumberland
Beautiful Northumberland is relatively quieter than many parts of the UK coastline and all the more inviting for it. There are beaches here to rival the best in the UK and beyond and if you travel out of season, you may well have them all to yourself. Add to that the wildlife spotting opportunities and you have all the ingredients for a lovely short break.
South West Cornwall
Cornwall is popular with tourists for good reason. Visiting out of season is the best way to find some peace and quiet and enjoy the beautiful beaches without the crowds. If you are able to pick your time to visit so that you can enjoy reasonable weather, then there is nowhere better to be in Spring/Autumn. We spent 6 days travelling around Falmouth and Mullion Cove.

Walking offers the perfect opportunity to explore this peaceful part of the world at a slow, relaxed pace. You can travel a long way and not find views to rival those you can find on the Jurassic Coast. Who needs the Coromandel Walkway when you have all this right on your doorstep at home?! So leave the car behind for a few days, lace up your hiking boots and get ready to do some exploring …
