Brits do their holidays one of two ways: the find a place inside their country that might get some sun, or they go to a place in Spain or Italy that definitely gets some sun. We opted for the former and went to Cornwall, the part of England that's on the far southwestern side.
Cornwall's interesting because it's half remote farming and artistic community, half major tourist destination so it's clean enough to be comfortable and authentic enough so that you don't feel like you're being ripped off for your overpriced food and drink. The weather was decent for a couple of days and great for a couple of days, so we got some good beach time in and did some hiking around the area. It was one of those 'let's not have a plan' vacations, intended to make us forget about our jobs and get us the heck out of London. Success on both counts.
Also, we went to a castle that is only accessible by foot at low tide. How cool is that?
If you're interested, there are pictures on my Flickr stream.
