<\/a>Snowdonia’s stunning mountain scenery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWales is the dream for anyone looking to walk amongst nature and explore all the highest peaks on offer; whether you\u2019re venturing around Snowdonia National Park<\/a> or the Brecon Beacons<\/a>, there\u2019s idyllic scenery to find and savour. Pick a home from home around Brecon Beacons national park and take walks around the mountains and moorlands, or catch a sighting of unique attractions such as the standing stones in Lila Valley or stunning iron age hill forts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snowdonia or Pembrokeshire<\/a> are two more memorable locations for a remote break; Snowdonia is Wales\u2019s largest national park, from which you can experience both the stunning Welsh countryside and the glittering waters of the coast.

<\/a>Kynance Cove along the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCornwall is a truly stunning and special part of England, but is quite remote from much of England. Cornwall is of course one of the UK\u2019s top holiday destinations, and not renowned for remote holidays. However, visit Cornwall\u2019s Lizard Peninsula<\/a> and you can escape to a road less travelled, away from typical tourist resorts. With beautiful flora and fauna, the Lizard Peninsula is somewhat of a hidden gem with a lush untouched feel where you can discover tranquil villages with locals, unspoilt beaches and lush greenery. If you want to escape from it all, even in peak season, the Lizard Peninsula makes for a great remote holiday destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhatever part of the UK you\u2019re thinking of discovering on a remote break, from the Scottish Islands to Wales or may be Cornwall\u2019s Lizard Peninsula, you can\u2019t beat the secluded gems of the countryside. It\u2019s the perfect space to decompress on a well-deserved break; so what are you waiting for, find your dream holiday destination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
