UK Hidden Holiday Gems (A - D)
Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland
"Standing proudly over Northumberland's finest beaches and surrounded by heather clad hills and wooded valleys, Bamburgh has long drawn the tourist, historian and casual visitor alike. Almost entirely intact it reflects a glorious if unsettled past in an area which triggers the imaginations of young and old."
G. Brown

Beechenhurst, Gloucestershire
"It's beautiful and free. No traffic - just 20KM of off-road cycle tracks and woodland rambles; a wooden playground and a massive tree trunk that children love climbing on. Light the barbie whilst the children fly kites, cycle and run free. A day there is a holiday."

Broadway, The Cotswolds
"A unique experience of Old England with beautiful honey coloured limestone buildings dating back four hundred years. The 'Jewel of the Cotswolds' enjoying the slower pace of life, with several tea shops indulging the English passion for tea and cream cakes whilst soaking up the ambience of centuries gone by."

Castell Coch, Taff's Well near Cardiff
"Nestling on a hillside just outside the wonderful city of Cardiff is my little gem - "a fairy castle". Picnic in the moated grounds, stroll through the romantic woods, breathe the culture within the historic walls and be scared in the dank dungeons. It's my perfect day out!"

Castleton, Derbyshire

Clent Hills, Worcestershire
"Stunning scenery, walking, horseriding and nature. A place where we would go as a family as I was growing up. A great pub for the adults and we would sit outside with crisps and lemonade! It gives me fond memories and it is here where I developed my love for the countryside and nature."

Cove, Berwickshire
"It is easy to imagine Cove in its hay day as a ship-wrecker's and smuggler's paradise, with its caves, tunnels and rocky reefs. Today Cove is also a painter's paradise as it has a charming harbour with quaint fishermen's cottages."
E. MacCrimmon

Cray, Yorkshire Dales
"Beautiful scenery, clean air, away from all the hustle and bustle of urban areas. A wonderful small country pub with open fires, home-cooked food and great local cask-conditioned ales. Great walks and centuries of history - it's got the lot."

Dunadd - near Kilmartin
"This hillfort is absolutely magical. I challenge anyone to walk to the top and resist the temptation to place their foot in the stone and claim proudly "I'm the King of Scotland" before sauntering back down."
