Let’s be honest, I am a young and beautiful girl who likes to eat, drink and have fun (ah, who dropped the bricks!). As a toy who can't take any time off, I made a decision before coming to the UK to study. In my free time, I must see all the beautiful places in the UK. So in addition to the tourist destinations that everyone is familiar with, I also went to some "unpopular" tourist destinations. However, although they are not very famous, many of them are popular holiday destinations among British locals. I hope to provide you with more choices.
Aberdeen ｜Aberdeen
As the largest city in northern Scotland and the third largest city in Scotland, Aberdeen is famous for its important port in the North Sea oil fields. As a tourist destination, It is indeed not well known to students from China. In fact, there are direct trains from London, Glasgow or Edinburgh, which is quite convenient. Aberdeen is called Gray City, or Sliver City, because most of Aberdeen's old town is built of granite. The large amount of mica in it causes the buildings to be gray-white, which is different from the traditional gray-black or gray-black buildings in the UK. Golden buildings. In addition, Aberdeen also has a beautiful fine sand beach, which is also a good place to watch the sunrise due to its proximity to northeast Scotland. Foodies can try the famous Aberdeen Angus Steak, and seafood is also abundant along the coast.
Applecross | Applecross
Although this place is called Applecross, in fact it is not rich in apples. Some people say that it is actually Apple of My Eyes! It felt a lot more romantic instantly. It is famous because to get there you have to pass the highest road in the UK (over 2053 feet above sea level). Although it does not sound like a high altitude, the town is very close to the sea, less than 3 miles above sea level. Climbing directly over 2,000 feet, the excitement and thrills can be imagined, but the road from Loch Ness to Applecross is definitely worth walking again and again. The lakes, mountains and magnificent highland scenery on the way come into view like a painting. Make people linger. Self-driving is the better choice and the most perfect experience. It should be noted that this place is closed many times in winter. ?The fish&Chips in Applecross inn is relatively famous (one of the top ten fish and chip shops in Scotland). Of course, there is also the Applecross Prawn named after the place that you can try!
Loch Lomond | The east and west coasts of Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond is the largest lake in Scotland and supplies drinking water to the people of Scotland. Compared with the famous Loch Ness, I personally think Loch Lomond is really ignored by everyone. Its quiet lake is like a princess waiting for all the travelers. Loch Lomond is located at the starting point of the A82, the most beautiful road in the UK, and is also a place most easily overlooked by self-driving tourists. If you have time to drive to the highlands, please don't pass by it in a hurry, release the accelerator and take your time to experience it. The small town of Luss is one of the top ten small towns in the UK. It is built on the lake. A walk along the lake and the town can be regarded as a way to relax on the way. Self-driving travel is the most convenient. Taking the CityLink bus will also pass through Loch Lomond. There are also buses from Fort William to the town of Lars.
Scenic Road ｜Sightseeing Road A702
Because I took the wrong road, I accidentally discovered such a trail that is comparable to the A82, A9, A889 and other famous self-driving routes. It is very short from the north of England to Edinburgh. It is possible to take the M72 to the A73 and miss this road. For the self-driving route, when heading north from the M74, when you see signs showing Scenic Road, get off the highway and follow the signs. Comrades in the car can prepare snacks and eat them while watching in the car.
Snowdonia｜ Snowdonia
Snowdonia is located in northern Wales, close to Bangor and Anglesey Island. Snowdon in Snowdonia is the second highest mountain in the UK, and is the same as Scotland's. Ben Nevis and Scafell in the Lake District are collectively known as Three Peaks. The mountains in Wales are alluring, especially in the north. North Wales and Central Wales are composed of different mountainous areas. Every year, many mountain climbing enthusiasts come here to challenge themselves. In addition to hiking, Snowdon Park also has many good scenery. There is water in the mountains and mountains outside the water. In addition, near Snowdon there are the seaside town of Llandudno in North Rhine-Westphalia, the historical city of Caernarfon, Conwy Castle, etc. Snowdonia is the easiest to climb among the three major mountains, because there are 5 different routes to choose from according to difficulty. Pen Y Track is moderately difficult and has the best scenery. Many women and men have successfully reached the summit and said it is not difficult (waterfall sweat!) . However, there is a train to the summit in Snowdonia! You can go here by car or train. The train needs to take the train to Bangor first, and then transfer to the Snowdon Circle Bus to Snowdonia Park.
Swansea｜ Swansea
Swansea is located in southern Wales, near Cardiff.
Strictly speaking, Swansea is well-known, but many students will not specifically include it in their travel list. In fact, I think Swansea is one of the most worth visiting places in Wales because it has a perfect coastline. Romantic Guesthouse (180° sea view), the most perfect sunset experience, etc. Basically, there are trains from major cities to Cardiff, and then transfer to Swansea in half an hour.
Jurassic Coast｜Jurassic Coast
The Jurassic Coast refers to a white rock coastline formed in the Jurassic era in the southernmost part of the UK, of which the Cliffs of Dover are the most famous. , but what I am referring to is a scenic hiking route on the Jurassic Coast, the Coastal walk. The starting point can be from West Lulworth or Weymouth. Along the way, there are magnificent coastlines and white cliffs of different shapes. Perfect for a sunny weekend to stretch your legs. You can drive to Lulworth Bay parking lot, or take a train to Weymouth, and then take a taxi or bus back to Weymouth.
St Ives｜St Ives
St Ives (St Ives) is located in Cornwall County, a local tourist resort in the UK. Most students who go to Cornwall County focus on going to Land's Places such as End or Penzance, but St. Ives is also a place that cannot be ignored. There are beautiful beaches here, white sand and blue sea, gentle breeze, lying on the beach quietly in a daze, there are no crowds here, and of course there are no There will be groups of beauties in bikinis, or exciting water sports, and just a quiet beach suitable for barefoot strolls. It is recommended to drive by yourself. If you take the train, go to Penzance first, then transfer to St ives, and then continue to Hayle. You can try the local delicacy Cornish Pasty (meat pie).
The above are a few "unpopular" British tourist destinations that I have visited but I feel good about myself. I just hope to provide you with a reference. After all, everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables.
Finally, I wish everyone a happy time!
