Don’t Just Visit London

When considering the United Kingdom as a potential holiday destination, most people tend to focus on London. Home to the iconic Big Ben and a bunch of other historical buildings, the UK’s main city also entices [1] its tourists with 170 different museums, as well as world-class food and cultural experiences. That being said, London isn’t for everyone, and there are plenty of other destinations around the UK that attract their own set of tourists.


Have you considered anywhere else in the UK for your next holiday destination? Here are some ideas:

1) Bath: One of Southern England’s primary holiday destinations since Roman times, Bath is a beautiful town filled with old buildings and, of course, hot springs (hence its name). Easily reached on a train from London, Bath offers all the historical pull without the overwhelmingness of London life. Plus, it boasts itself as the home of one of the UK’s all-time most famous authors: Jane Austen.

2) Scottish Highlands: Truly remote, you can come here to lose yourself within untouched mountains, lochs, and beaches. This destination would suit tourists wanting to experience nature; it’s also home to Britain’s biggest national park, the Cairngorms.

3) Pembrokeshire: Located in the south of Wales, enjoy a taste of all the UK’s beautiful coastline has to offer, as well as its quirky, historic towns and old fishing villages. Plus, you can check out the UK’s smallest city, St Davids, surrounded by stunning coastal scenery.

These examples are only a few of the different places the UK has to offer outside of London. As a place with a long history and diverse landscapes, the UK is full of places of historic importance and stunning scenery; check our “National Trust” for some more inspiration.



This being said, London has plenty to offer in itself and can accommodate travellers looking for both fast and slow paces of life. Aside from its art, museums, and skyscrapers—the things that make for a city teeming with [2] life and culture—London also has a plethora of [3] glorious green spaces. Try places like Hyde Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens, and Kensington Gardens and experience a new side of London. “Londoners” value their green spaces, and a visit to any of London’s parks should give you an idea why.

Is the UK on your bucket list? If so, where would you most like to visit?

영국에서 런던만 가면 후회할지도 몰라요!

영국으로의 여행을 고려할 때 대부분의 사람들은 런던에 집중하는 경향이 있습니다. 상징적인 빅벤과 여러 역사적인 건물들을 품은 영국의 수도 런던은 170여 개의 다양한 박물관과 세계적인 수준의 음식 및 문화 체험으로 여행객을 유혹하기도 합니다. 그렇긴 해도 모든이가 다 런던을 좋아하는 것은 아니고 영국에는 다른 취향을 가진 여행객들에게 맞는 다른 여행지들이 많이 있습니다.

여러분은 다음 휴가지로 영국의 다른 지역을 고려해 보셨나요? 여기 몇 군데를 추천해 봅니다:

1) 바스: 로마시대 이래 남부 잉글랜드의 주요 휴양지 중 하나인 바스는 오래된 건물 그리고 물론 온천으로 유명한 (그래서 이런 이름이 붙었습니다) 아름다운 도시입니다. 런던에서 기차로 쉽게 갈 수 있는 바스는 런던 생활이 주는 압도감 없이 역사적인 매력을 모두 느낄 수 있는 곳입니다. 게다가 영국에서 가장 유명한 작가 중 한 명, 바로 제인 오스틴이 태어난 곳이기도 합니다.

2) 스코틀랜드 고원: 정말 외딴 곳으로, 여러분은 사람의 손길이 닿지 않은 산, 호수, 해변에서 무아지경에 빠질 수 있습니다. 이 곳은 자연을 경험하고 싶은 여행객에게 적합합니다. 영국에서 가장 큰 국립공원인 케언곰스가 있는 곳이기도 합니다.

3) 펨브로크셔: 웨일즈 남부에 위치한 펨브로크셔에서 영국의 아름다운 해안이 선사하는 모든 매력과 더불어 기이하고 역사적인 마을과 오래된 어촌 풍광을 즐겨보세요. 또한 놀랄 만한 해안 풍경으로 둘러싸여 있는, 영국에서 가장 작은 도시 세인트 데이비스도 들러 보세요.

위에서 예로 든 곳들은 런던 외에 영국에서 가볼만한 다양한 장소 중 일부에 불과합니다. 오랜 역사와 다양한 환경을 가진 영국에는 역사적으로 중요한 장소와 놀라운 풍경을 가진 곳들이 많이 있으니 영국의 "내셔널 트러스트"(nationaltrust.org.uk)에서 더 많은 영감을 찾아보세요.

하지만 런던에도 많은 것들이 있어서 빠르거나 느린 행보를 원하는 여행객 모두를 만족시킬 수 있습니다. 예술, 박물관, 고층 빌딩 등 삶과 문화가 넘치는 도시를 만드는 요소 외에도, 런던에는 아름다운 녹지 공간이 많이 있습니다. 하이드 파크, 로열 보태닉 가든스, 켄싱턴 가든스 같은 곳을 방문해서 런던의 새로운 면모를 경험해 보세요. "런던 사람들"은 그들의 녹지 공간을 소중히 여기는데 런던의 공원을 방문해 보면 그 이유를 알 수 있을겁니다.

영국이 여러분의 버킷리스트에 들어 있나요? 그렇다면 어디를 가장 방문하고 싶으신가요?
