We want to wear flip flops, taste the sand in our picnic sandwiches and watch the waves behind our Raybans. Where to do this? Bournemouth.

I mean we do all love a good old-fashioned pier with all the trimmings, and Hastings has one big one of those. With plenty of 90\u2019s arcade games, balls of pink candy floss, a nice sandy beach and fish and chips at every corner, it\u2019s the perfect weekend getaway in the hot August heat.

Steeped in history and almost bursting at the seams with things to see and do, you\u2019ll journey back in time without having to use the old DeLorean from Back to the Future. With the oldest university in the English-speaking world and some of the finest architecture in the country, we promise you won\u2019t leave disappointed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bath<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tour_of_Roman_Baths_3726_47513.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"406\" class=\"wp-image-10532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tour_of_Roman_Baths_3726_47513.jpg\" alt=\"Roman Baths\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tour_of_Roman_Baths_3726_47513.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tour_of_Roman_Baths_3726_47513-150x106.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bath. It is exactly what it says on the tin. Thoughts that come to mind when you think of a bath? Idyllic, relaxing, wonderful. All of these things are the City of Bath and more. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bath is one of those bucket-list locations that has people Instagramming noon till night. Sample the waters at the world-famous Roman Baths, visit the Jane Austen Centre, get all romantic on Pulteney Bridge and wander the cobbled streets at your own leisure.

It has everything you need for a good old weekend away with plenty of British restaurants, beach shops selling buckets and spades, crab magnets (because really, who doesn\u2019t need one of those?) and sticks of rock. There\u2019s even a theme park sat right on the beach with rides and arcades for you all to enjoy.
