It may look like it's straight out of northern France but this is Cornwall's very
own tidal island, just 500 metres from the town of Marazion. While
Normandy's Mont Saint-Michel is one of the most visited attractions in France,
St Michael's Mount offers fewer crowds and just as much beauty.
While you're there, tour its medieval castle, tuck into fresh local food and
marvel at the sub-tropical garden with exotics from Mexico, the Canary
Islands and South Africa. Stay at dog-friendly B&B, the Godolphin Arms, for
the most stunning view of the attraction.
2. Holkham Beach, Norfolk
Like scenery straight out of South Africa, with its rolling dunes and sprawling
stretches of sand, Holkham Beach is one of the best beaches in the UK and a
terrific place to bring your furry friend. The dog-friendly beach makes for the
perfect weekend escape, where you can enjoy scenic strolls, visit the seaside
villages of north Norfolk and take in the views of Holkham National Nature
Reserve from new building the Lookout. Stay at pet-friendly inn The Victoria,
run by the Holkham Estate, with just 20 rooms and classic English interiors -
it's truly stunning. [Can be a good place for a music video shoot]
3. Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides
The Northern Lights are one of the most magical sights you can experience on
holiday but you don't need to head to Norway to catch a view of the natural
phenomenon. The Isle of Mull is a great location for those wanting to take in
the superb views as the beautiful Scottish island experiences very little light
pollution. Autumn and winter are the best times to visit and with a stay
at Starfish Cottage, you'll enjoy sweeping views across the dramatic Sound of
Mull and a hillside setting for walks and wildlife watching too. The cottage is
part of a collection of four and allows you to bring up to two dogs along for the
adventure.
4. EDINBURGH CASTRLE
Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of
Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, from its position on the Castle Rock.
Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least
the Iron Age, although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. [Hours of
