During the summer, we often jump in the car on the weekend and drive to find new places to explore.
Now that Spring is starting to appear, I can’t wait to start these adventures again.
We’ve found so many beautiful sights within the UK and I know that there are many more still to discovered.
We often tend towards find old castles or coastal areas to explore, since those appeal to the whole family and are always fun for the kids. But exploring a new city is always fun too!
Travelodge asked me to share some of our ideas for places to visit this summer, and are offering one reader the chance to win 1 night at a Travelodge of your choice, for you and your family.
That would come in handy when you are exploring a little further from home and can’t make it back for bedtime!
(Make sure you read right down to the bottom if you want to enter the giveaway)
So here are is my UK travel wish list!
The 5 I’ve chosen for my wish list today are places with gorgeous scenery, that I think would be relaxing to visit and experience.
5 of the most beautiful must visit places in the UK
I hope we’re able to make our way around all of them!

Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places in the UK. And if you are visiting, you may want to have a look at the best areas to live in Cornwall to wrap it up.
Who knows…maybe you will fall in love and want to move there one day!
