Five UK Seaside Towns for a Relaxing Getaway

*Collaborative Post

Getting away from the city for the weekend is often something we need. It’s a place fuelled by stress and that can often get on top of us, particularly if we are living with mental health conditions.

More and more of us struggle with the likes of anxiety, depression and addiction these days and added stress can only exacerbate those, to the point where often seeking help in a rehab centre is the best option. Getting away for the weekend can be a good way to take stock of our mental health and spend some time relaxing and recuperating.

Across the country there are so many great spots for a relaxing getaway, and with summer here, here’s our top five to consider to alleviate your stress…

Seal Watching at Flamborough Outer Headland

We recently visited Yorkshire for the very first time, with the main reason being to enjoy the wonderful coastline and wildlife that come to it. We had heard that puffins and other amazing seabirds could be seen at Bempton Cliffs and then through some research we realised that we could see the grey seals at Flamborough too and, that you can even do both locations in one day! A wildlife lover’s dream! I’ve already recently written about our visit to Bempton Cliffs so now here is how we got on seal watching at Flamborough Outer Headland.

Visiting Bempton Cliffs – One of The Best Places to See Puffins In The UK

As a wildlife enthusiast, I have many a creature on my “must-see in the wild” bucket list from turtles to jaguars, orcas and giraffes, rhinos, whales, lions, puffins… oh goodness this list could go on and on. When you live in England seeing a lot of these involves travelling abroad but we are lucky enough to have particular spots around the coast where some on my list do either pass through or choose as their breeding ground and after seeing Bempton Cliffs on a wildlife show last year, we immediately set our sights on this as a destination for 2024. Hailed as one of the best places to see puffins along with other fantastic sea birds such as gannets, kittiwakes and razorbills, Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire is a wildlife haven and this is our experience of visiting.
