BRITAIN'S BEST SEASIDE TOWNS
 
                                  Best Seaside Towns

Despite the continual rain that is making May feel more like April (or November!) we felt the need to turn a positive thought towards warm days, sunshine and the seaside – because ‘a day by the sea is the best kind of day’!

According to Consumer Magazine Which, a survey of 4000 visitors over the past year ranked British Seaside Resorts for quality, local attractions, scenery, peace and quiet and value for money and of course we were delighted to see several of our favourites in the top ten. The results of the survey definitely prioritise smaller and lesser known spots – as do we - and we are only taking the risk of sharing these gems because we know our discerning clients will appreciate them!
 
Topping the list was Bamburgh, Northumberland and while we don’t have a trip that goes there yet – watch this space!  It was in the planning stages pre-pandemic and just needs to pass the Carter test before we launch. 
 
Three of the best seaside towns were in Wales, two in Suffolk, naturally Devon featured a couple of times and of course Swanage – a perennial favourite on any list.
 
So imagine the sound of lapping waves, feel the sand between your toes and take a look at these!
 
Best Wishes,

 
  THE CEREDIGION COAST     
This spectacular walk starts in Cardigan with a stay at the Castle and heads north along the wild and varied coastline of Cardigan Bay.  Meander past beautiful beaches, fascinating rock formations and wonderful wildlife to the characterful little town of Aberaeron with its picturesque harbour that ranked number four in the above list. Explore the route here
 
 
Whether you choose to walk or cycle our Suffolk trips both visit Aldeburgh and Southwold that scored in the top 10.  Awash with boats and beaches, forest tracks and sinuous estuaries, quirky pubs, wildlife and seafood galore, this is a tranquil sometimes remote area perfect for a chance to recharge your batteries. Find out more 
 
 
 
Although St David’s may not really be seen as a seaside resort it ranked highly and is surrounded by the glorious Pembrokeshire coast which our luxury walking tour gives you plenty of time to explore.  Our trip finishes in Tenby which was also in the top 10 for its beaches and scenery.  Don't miss Tenby Castle and its quaint shopping streets. Follow the route
 
DELIGHTFUL DORSET   
While some parts of the south coast can get busy in peak season, you can still find peaceful and quieter areas outside of school holidays - especially when you travel by bike!  Enid Blyton’s Dorset will take you back to your childhood with a steam train ride and the elegant hotels we pick on A Jaunt Around Dorset are perfect for a grown up treat!
