GrBritain is an independent guide to six of Britain’s best coast-and-country escapes — the kind of places that reward a proper visit rather than a quick photo stop.
We focus on Salcombe, a South Devon sailing town on a sheltered estuary; Falmouth, a Cornish harbour town on one of the deepest natural harbours in the world; Kielder Water, Northumberland’s vast reservoir and forest beneath England’s largest protected dark sky; Brimham Rocks, a National Trust moorland in the Yorkshire Dales scattered with wind-sculpted rock formations; Sandbanks, a narrow Dorset peninsula with a Blue Flag beach and a historic chain ferry; and Cannock Chase, a Staffordshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of heathland, forest and wild deer.
Each destination page covers what to see and do, and where to stay and book tours — this site earns a small commission on some of those bookings, at no extra cost to you, which is what keeps the guides free and independent.
