Last Minute UK Easter Breaks
You may have had no time to plan a little getaway for the Easter weekend, but fear not, there are tons of amazing places you can get to without too much fuss this Easter weekend.
Here’s our round up of the best last minute UK Easter breaks this weekend.
Stonehenge, Wiltshire
Venture down the M3 and you’ll pass the great looming stones that sit on the horizon. Simply park in the car park, then take the little carriage car up to Stone Henge, or if you fancy a bit of a walk then make your way up the gentle incline that leads to the monument.

The Living Rainforest, Berkshire
An hour and bit from London you’ll reach the quaint little town of Hampstead Norrey where you’ll find The Living Rainforest. Here you’ll be confronted with a rainforest environment – so bring an umbrella or waterproof mac and wellies, there are also monkeys which are kept in enclosured, but free roaming tortoises, lizards, exotic birds… and a crocodile! Once you’ve had your tropical getaway – for just a £10 entrance fee, then head to the local pub for an incredible traditional English meal and a great pint of beer.

Swanage, Dorset
If you fancy a couple of days away then why not head to Swanage. This coastal town is situated in Dorset and has a fantastic beach. This little slice of paradise is located on the Jurassic Coast and also sports two conservation areas.
Gower Peninsula and Worms Head, Wales
If you fancy hopping over the border to Wales then it’s well worth visiting the beautiful village of Rhossili which is designated as the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the United Kingdom. Located at the southern end of the stunning bay you’ll find a small tidal island called Worm’s Head. The island is accessible at low tide only, and what’s even better is you’re able to see the remains of shipwrecks at low tide.
Folkestone, Kent
Just 50 minutes away from London, you’ll find the lovely coastal town of Folkestone. This old ferry port has transformed drastically, with the historic buildings filled with bustling chic eateries and art galleries of the Creative Quarter contrasting with the peaceful cliff-top promenade of The Leas. As so, this isn’t any old seaside town, and attracts plenty of visitors looking to head out of London, just a 50-minute train ride away.
