Newquay
The cliffs, sandy bays, and rolling fields of North Cornwall provide the perfect setting for a UK holiday or short break - the harbour town of Newquay is an ideal base for a Cornish getaway.
Situated almost halfway along the Cornish north coast, between Land's End and the border with Devon, Newquay is synonymous with surfing, and more recently, kite-surfing, with its coastline providing waves for all levels of boardriders. The world surfing championships are held on Fistral Beach, with the sand reef and headland providing excellent left-to-right waves that can be relied on all year round. But you don't have to be adorned with beads, bleached hair and flip-flops, and talk waves and wind all day to enjoy this increasingly popular UK attraction - there's plenty for couples and families too.

Probably inhabited since the Iron Age, with a name believed to be from the Anglo-Saxon for ‘trading place of wool’, Woolwich is a suburb in South East London famous for the Royal Arsenal, that spawned the now more famous Arsenal Football Club; The Royal Artillery, and a decline so rapid that a town deemed suitable for the UK’s first McDonald’s in 1976, is now filled with budget and charity shops.
