You might want to bring with you a camera or two because you’ll be sure to get some of the most picturesque photos. Richmond Park is perfect for this summer’s quiet walks, scenic drives and observant deer watching.
Lake District National Park, Cumbria
The Lake District is situated in the mountainous region in the North West of England and is a perfect destination if you’re a nature lover. With over 15 million people visiting every year, there is no secret that this district is nothing more than beautiful. We would suggest spending the weekend camping and exploring the hilltops, mountain tarns and glittering lakes. Cumbria is England’s premier destination for hiking and climbing, so if you’re looking for an adventure this summer this is the place to be.
National History Museum, London
Despite being known as the British Museum until 1992, the National History Museum is a place of adventure and it is definitely one place you need to see this summer. Admission is free so there’s no excuse as to why you can’t enjoy a day learning and exploring about the 70 million science specimens that this Museum holds. You can see collections related to mineralogy, planetology, zoology and entomology and once that’s all over with as you know London has a variety of restaurants and bars around which is perfect for a summer’s day.
