10 UK places that feel like they’re abroad

For brits, travelling abroad this summer is currently riddled with uncertainty and confusion. Fortunately there are places in the UK where you might temporarily imagine that you’re on faraway shores – and you won’t need to bring your passport. Great Britain may be an island, but our neighbours have left their mark on the coastline – a Dutch legacy in the east, Scandinavian accents in the far north – while waves of immigration have given a taste of distant continents to some of our cities and towns. And with such glorious landscapes, from the windswept beaches of Wales to the alpine summits of Devon, who knows – you might never want to board a plane again.
