Unique, beautiful and tranquil. Three words that perfectly sum up the British countryside.
While Britain is great for anyone that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life in the big city, it’s also packed with great adventure activities guaranteed to get the adrenaline flowing. These are the top 5 adventure activities to do in Britain.
Top 5 adventure activities to do in Britain
Fishing
Anywhere with a river, lake or beach is perfect for taking your rod, bait and portable barbecue to catch your dinner.
While some may find fishing boring, it is in fact an exciting but peaceful activity that’s great to do with friends or the family. You might even get them hooked if it is their first time and they catch their first fish!
Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking is something that the whole family can enjoy. All you need are mountain bikes, a map and some safety equipment and you can spend hours riding around the British countryside.
If you’re feeling really adventurous, try mountain biking in Glentress, the Lake District or Snowdonia where the rough terrain will give you a challenge you will never forget!
Golfing
Another gentle, yet exhilarating outdoor activity you can do in Britain is play a round of golf. It is a great way to spend a few hours with your family, friends or your partner. I recommend you play golf when visiting the countryside as it isn’t too physically taxing.
Rock Climbing and Ice Climbing
If with a few friends somewhere mountainous, what could be better than rock climbing or ice climbing in Britain? The Yorkshire Dales and Scottish Highlands are perfect for this activity, especially with great accommodation near the climbing hotspots like Malham. These great cottage brochures have recently been published by Regional-Cottages.co.uk showing where you can stay.
Watersports
Surfing, snorkelling, yachting and swimming on the coast or in large lakes is a must if you want to do something a little different.
Surfing in Cornwall or kayaking in areas such as the Lake District and Peak District are all great, especially with the family as packages for kids and adults are widely available.
