Time Out No. #68 | Tuesday 27 July 2021

No matter where you are in the UK, you’re never too far away from one of our beautiful national parks. These protected green spaces are brilliant places to unplug while enjoying some of the country’s most spectacular scenery. Ranging from Scotland’s towering peaks to southern England’s wide-open moors, the rugged coastline of South Wales to the secret backwaters of East Anglia, they’re all must-visit staycay destinations this summer. And best of all? There’s no entry fee whatsoever.

The latest UK goings-on

It runs all summer (and is just an hour from London).

Fancy a lie-in next to some... wild animals?

July 19 was dubiously crowned ‘freedom day’ in the UK, but travelling abroad still falls a long way short of being as free and easy as it was pre-pandemic. That said, there’s every reason to be optimistic if you’re in desperate need of some reliable summer rays or a dose of adventure – even more so if you’ve got a degree of flexibility in your schedule (and a relaxed attitude to choosing a destination). Here’s what you need to know.
