Summer Bank Holiday 2023 picnic spots that you just have to see include some classics like the Peak District and other, lesser-known spots you can visit with your hampers UK-wide. Just remember to pack your other essentials like drinking water, sun cream, some spare cash and a blanket so you’re ready to go when you arrive!
Castleton, Derbyshire
Under the Shivering Mountain, you’ll see the ruins of the Norman Peveril Castle and the old lead mines. Castleton is a hidden gem in the Peak District where the semi-precious Blue John stone is found. Enjoy your hampers, UK; under the rolling hills or as a reward after a walk up to Cave Dale. And there are plenty of places to stay nearby if you want to take your time and really explore the many nearby Summer Bank Holiday 2023 picnic spots.
Norwich, Norfolk
It’s not just beaches and fun regional accents in Norfolk. The cobbled streets and narrow lanes make for amazing shopping. When you’re tired of browsing, pop down a picnic basket in the nearby Broads National Park or in the ever-present shadow of the Norwich Cathedral. Or drive a bit further out and sit beachside with your Picnic Feast for Two. It’s one of our most popular picnic hampers, UK!
Aira Force, Lake District
Who wouldn’t want to see 70ft of majestic waterfall in the heart of the Lake District in Cumbria? Owned by the National Trust, their own website states, “There are some fantastic picnic spots at Aira Force. Roll out the rug by the lake, on the Glade or find a spot at one of our picnic benches.” So, pack your hampers, UK! It’s hours of woodland exploring or lazy walks in tiny towns when you visit this area of natural beauty. Why not try to get there by boat for an even more unique visit?
Corfe Castle, Dorset
Visit Dorset’s Isle of Purbeck to surround yourself with history. You’ll learn about the civil war and take amazing photographs everywhere along your journey. You’ll see many of the ruins and local buildings made from the region’s iconic grey Purbeck stone. Pop your picnic blanket anywhere and read some of the local children’s author Enid Blyton’s works to really get a feel for the area from a new perspective. You can’t stay in the castle over the weekend, but there are loads of quint B&Bs nearby.
Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire
This pretty little village is known for its tranquil atmosphere. It’s full of dog-friendly cafes, pubs and restaurants; so it’s ideal for furry family members too. And with loads of guest houses situated near the stunning woodlands, you might want to make a full weekend of it. Bring your hampers, UK – it will save you on food while you’re out and about. We recommend the Picnic Treats for Two in any of our Summer Bank Holiday 2023 picnic spots because it’s just enough to satiate you without ruining your dinner plans.
