Many people will be rushing at the chance of heading abroad this summer to enjoy the beautiful coastlines after two years of travel restrictions. Others have found a newfound adoration for some of the beautiful beaches the UK has to offer, and we're certainly not short of them in the south west.
Cornwall is home to some of the highest-rated beaches in the UK and some of Devon's spots have been likened to parts of the Mediterranean. And with two lengthy heatwaves this summer, it can certainly feel like you're in the south of France or Spain this year.
Just a two hours drive south of Bristol is the popular resort of Lyme Regis, dubbed as the 'Pearl of Dorset'. What used to be quite an old-fashioned coastal town has become cool and trendy, with some great new restaurants and bars, reports SomersetLive.
