07 Jun The UK holiday hotspots that celebrities adore
In recent times, staycations have become a popular holiday option for many UK residents. From some of Essex’s top reality stars to a selection of UK-based pop singers, they too are discovering the benefits of holidaying in good old Blighty. Given the sheer amount of stunningly beautiful options, it’s not much of a surprise either.
Many people get inspiration for their next holiday from where the celebrities are going, too. Ultimately, if a celebrity is heading somewhere, then it must have its merits given their typically high standards. Also, although holiday shows on television showcase a particular foreign setting or Egyptian-themed games provide an authentic dive into Egypt, it can be hard to know for sure just how much of a viable option it is for you until you’re there in the flesh. Thankfully, if some of the celebrities we know and love are able to sample a specific location for themselves before we potentially go there, too, then it’s a safer bet. Holidays aren’t cheap, after all.
So, with some instantly recognisable faces discovering the delights of a staycation in the UK, let’s take a look at some superb domestic locations for you to consider ahead of your next holiday away.
North Wales
With the likes of Wayne Rooney, Andrew Lincoln, Kate Garraway, and Ant and Dec spotted there in recent years, North Wales is an excellent option for UK holidaymakers. From camping venues to luxury cottages, there are plenty of accommodation options in the area. Additionally, there is plenty to see and do, too. Popular options in North Wales include surfing, kayaking, hiking, swimming, and a whole lot more. There are some gorgeous pubs and restaurants to try also.
The Cotswolds
Thanks to its postcard-perfect villages and towns, alongside its stunningly beautiful scenery and rich history, the Cotswolds is a holiday destination that is always in high demand. With some amazing homes there and an all-round high-end feel to it, the area understandably appeals to some of the country’s most rich and famous personalities. For example, stars like David and Victoria Beckham and TV presenter Amanda Holden own holiday retreats in the area. Also, numerous soap stars and a selection of talented current pop stars have been seen there in the past, too.
A glorious location, Cornwall is regularly frequented by the well known. Dubbed the Cornish Riviera, Cornwall features quaint villages, pristine beaches and an all-around relaxed vibe that many other UK destinations simply don’t offer.
