Best Easter weekend breaks in the UK

Heather moorland, steam trains and a dramatic coast

Castles, empty beaches, dark skies and Hadrian's Wall

A rugged coast of golden beaches, seabirds and a famous coast path

A dramatic harbour town with a clifftop abbey

Green valleys, limestone scars and drystone walls

A lively seaside city with a pier, independent shops and nightlife

England's biggest national park: lakes, fells and cosy villages

Ancient woodland and heath with free-roaming ponies

Wide sandy beaches, salt marshes and seal trips

Golden beaches, art galleries and a pretty Cornish harbour

Often called the loveliest of the lakes, with steamers and a waterfall

Honey-coloured villages, rolling hills and country pubs
