Brighton Pier

Brighton Pier is great to visit, as you can see the evening sun setting over the pier, the brightly-coloured beach huts and there’s always plenty of opportunities for photos in this city by the sea. Brighton is best known for its pier, but you’ll also find plenty of beautiful places around the city. The pastel-painted houses, vintage stores and small coffee shops are popular all year round and they are amazing for your Insta as well. You can easily walk right along the pebble beach, get some fish and chips and we would advise spending half a day there. The train only takes an hour from London and you can drive in around 1 hour 45 mins as well.

The White Cliffs of Dover

The White Cliffs of Dover are a world-renowned landmark and an absolute must-see when visiting southern England on your UK trip. They are so distinctive because of their white chalk and they have breathtaking coastal views all the way across the English Channel, with even France visible on a clear day. If you like photography, you won’t be disappointed with your visit to Dover for the day. The cliffs are certainly unique and certainly make it easy to take excellent shots on your phone or camera. We recommend spending an hour or 2 there and you can even go and visit Dover Castle for some more amazing views and Insta shots before or after

Portmeirion Village

Portmeirion Village is an Italianate village in rural North Wales and it was built in the early 20th century. The Riviera-inspired village of Portmeirion has become very popular with tourists and even some film-makers over the years. It has brightly painted houses, traditional Italian architecture and there’s plenty of Instagram opportunities wherever you may wander to in the famous Welsh village. It is also well worth walking through the ornamental gardens to get a glimpse of the rare plants and trees they have on display there. The giant human chessboard is also a very popular stop as well. It is around a 5-hour drive from London and only 2 hours drive away from Liverpool
