Hello fellow travellers, It’s the first May bank holiday—also known as that glorious moment when we get a bonus day to step off the treadmill. But instead of racing through the long weekend, what if we leaned into the pause? That’s exactly what our Slow Travel series is all about—ditch the rush, forget the checklist, and discover the kind of places where time stretches out and little details matter. Take It Slow with These Bank Holiday Beauties 🌊 Slow Travel: Northumberland – Wild beaches, ancient castles, and the kind of peace and quiet you thought had vanished. Perfect for those who like their adventures windswept and a bit mysterious. 🌿 Slow Travel: The Cotswolds – Honey-stone villages, cream teas, and countryside strolls where the only traffic jam involves sheep. An all-time favourite for a reason. 🌳 Slow Travel: Suffolk – Big skies, wool towns, and charming corners you’ll wonder why you’ve never heard of. If you like your coastlines quiet and your pubs full of character, this one’s for you. 🚲 Slow Travel: Yorkshire Dales – Dales, dry-stone walls, and the joy of seeing the world from the top of a hill you earned with your own legs. Proper countryside, with added charm. Make the Most of Your Long Weekend So, wherever you are this weekend—feet up at home or wandering a lesser-known village path—know that Slow Travel is about the journey, not the checklist. You don’t need to cross a continent to find something extraordinary. Sometimes, it’s just down the road. Wishing you a bank holiday full of birdsong, good coffee, and the kind of silence that makes you notice things again. The Bradt Team A mountain in Peru. A mosque in Iran. A lake in Tanzania.
