3 UK Tourist Destinations to Avoid and Where to Go Instead

The UK has many beautiful places to visit, but some popular spots may not be the best.

You don't need to travel far to see stunning sights, and some UK tourist sites might not be as good as they seem. A travel influencer suggested some alternative destinations that are just as good, if not better.

Apryl, a travel influencer with 42,500 followers, listed three UK destinations she wouldn't visit again and suggested three alternatives.

Apryl said some of England's most famous spots aren't the best, and she'd do things differently if she planned her trip again. She thinks there's always a better, quieter alternative.

The first place Apryl would skip is Stonehenge, a famous prehistoric structure that attracts over one million visitors each year.

Apryl said Stonehenge is iconic but disappointing in person, with expensive tours and tickets, and it's always crowded.

Instead of Stonehenge, Apryl recommended visiting Avebury, which has the world's largest stone circle, is older than Stonehenge, and is free to visit with no crowds.

The second place Apryl would avoid is the Cotswolds village of Bourton-on-the-Water, known for its iconic architecture and beautiful surroundings.

Apryl said Bourton-on-the-Water is charming but can feel overcrowded, and it's hard to enjoy at a slower pace.

Instead of Bourton-on-the-Water, Apryl suggested visiting the nearby villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter, which are quieter and just as scenic.

Apryl's third suggested location to skip is the Seven Sisters and Beach Head cliffs in East Sussex, which can be difficult to access and are weather-dependent.

Instead of the Seven Sisters, Apryl suggested visiting the Birling Gap, which offers similar views, is easier to access, and doesn't require a hike.

People had different opinions in the comments, with some agreeing with Apryl's suggestions and others disagreeing.

Some people shared their own experiences, such as visiting Stonehenge and the Seven Sisters, and had different opinions about the destinations.

Another person said they loved Stonehenge and didn't find it crowded, and thought it was awe-inspiring.

Someone suggested that instead of skipping these spots, visitors could go during the off-season, when they might have a more peaceful experience.
