Whether you’re new to coach travel or are a seasoned UK holidaymaker, Britain is peppered with must visit tourist destinations, rivalling even Europe’s most scenic spots. So, let’s talk about some of our favourites and give you something to look forward to as the sun begins to hit the UK’s sandy shores.
If you’re chasing the sun across the UK, you’ll often find the warmest destinations down south, while nearer the equator. The south-east of the UK, in particular, is typically the warmest, benefiting from its proximity to mainland Europe. It’s no secret, however, that the UK’s weather can be particularly unreliable, so there’s no saying that the north can’t be just as warm!
Famously known as the English Riviera, Devon offers tourists a stunning coastline, complete with all of your seaside essentials. Our coach holidays to Devon tour the Jurassic Coast – a breathtaking world heritage site with plenty of awe-inspiring natural scenery and sparkling sea views.
Join us on a Torquay coach holiday to get a taste of what Devon has to offer tourists. With subtropical plants, sandy beaches, and a harbour lined with independent shops, eateries, and attractions, Torquay is the quintessential seaside destination.
Those looking to relax will have no trouble unwinding on the coastline, while others, keen to explore, will feel spoiled for choice when it comes to attractions. Visit Torre Abbey for a closer look at the town’s historic architecture, or spend a day exploring Paignton Zoo for an experience like no other.
One of the UK’s favourite holiday destinations, Cornwall is a picturesque coastal county with golden beaches, rich greenery, and a fascinating history. On a coach holiday to Cornwall, tourists can enjoy relaxing in the salty breeze before venturing towards some of the county’s most unique attractions.
History lovers should embark on a royal coach trip to the ruins of Tintagel Castle, a breathtaking site that has famously inspired writers and poets for centuries. Those keen to bask in the sunlight amidst a sea of green, however, should take the time to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Restored in the 90s after being hidden away since WWI, this conservation area has a mythical quality that shouldn’t be missed.
Home to the iconic Eden Project, lovers of nature will find themselves spoiled for choice in Cornwall. This destination is one of a kind, housing thousands of plant species.
Come rain or shine, the Lake District stands as one of the most beautiful destinations in the entire UK. With immense natural scenery and picture postcard views in every direction, the Lake District feels like something directly from a fantasy book.
One of the best summer trips in the UK, our coach Holidays to the Lake District aim to showcase the beauty of the region, taking guests to the striking Windermere, as well as on a thrilling railway break on the scenic Eskdale Railway. Explore the lake before visiting a homely pub and resting up with a sensible pint or two.
Fancy escaping on one of our Coaches to Wales? Wales offers plenty of stunning summer breaks for 2026, but let’s focus on our thrilling coach holidays to Llandudno. With a classic Victorian pier, Llandudno thrives in the sunshine. So grab yourself an ice cream and perch near the waterfront to take in the charm of this timeless seaside resort.
Explore the peak of the Great Orme by taking a cable car to the summit to get a better look at Llandudno from above. If you’re typically prone to visiting UK flower shows in summer, you’ll be glad to hear about the stunning botanical gardens that sit at the bottom of the Orme.
