The Isle of Wight
Just two and a half hours’ journey from London, the Isle of Wight is perfect for a weekend break, with its three hundred and eighty square kilometers of farmland, cliffs and beaches. You can stay in a B&B at Freshwater Bay and go for long walks along the cliff, and beaches. Or hire a bicycle and ride around the island, stopping at Carisbrooke Castle with its magnificent views over the island. If you want something more exciting, try a one day paragliding course or go sailing: the isle of Wight is a paradise for sailors. For children, there is a steam railway which starts from Ryde on the north coast. In the evening you can relax after a good day’s walking in one of the many excellent fish restaurant.
Canterbury and Leeds Castle
With is magnificent cathedral, many museums and old city walls, Canterbury id one of the most historic and beautiful cities in the country. You can stay at a hotel or a B&B and spend your day visiting the nine hundred-year-old cathedral and shopping. Or visit nearby Leeds Castel, which is situated on two islands in the ninth century and later became the home of King Henry VIII. Today it is a favourite with visitors, with beautiful parks to walk in, as well as gardens, a golf course, a museum, and, in summer, outdoor concerts.
Dublin
Dublin, the capital city of Republic of Ireland, is situated on the east coast, on the river Liffey, and has an international airport with cheap, frequent flight from London. It’s a lively and cosmopolitan city, and if you walk along the famous O’Connell’s Street you will find exciting shops, bars and restaurants. If you like sightseeing, you can also visit the famous Dublin Castle, Trinity College and Phoenix Park, one of the largest city parks in the world. In the evening you can listen to traditional Irish music in the bars and you can try the most popular drink in Ireland:Guinness, a black beer. Close by the city there are lovely beaches, and just over an hour away are the wicklow Mountains for walks and beautiful views. And you will have no problems finding good accommodation: Dublin is famous for its excellent B&Bs.
