Seven of the best UK spots for afternoon tea with a view

The ritual of afternoon tea dates from the 1840s — when Anna, Duchess of Bedford felt a little peckish between lunch and dinner — but its popularity shows no sign of waning, judging by the number of #afternoontea posts on Instagram and TikTok. As such, hotel lounges and country tearooms seem to be on a mission to outdo each other with photogenic cake stands displaying mouthwatering creations. Being able to take in a great view while you're tucking in really tops it off. These seven suggestions should be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, as you let your gaze drift over mountain crags, shimmering lochs or unique cityscapes. This article contains affiliate links that will earn us revenue This boutique hotel in the glorious Lake District has a handsome hillside perch, with fantastic views from its restaurants and lounges. If the weather's fine you can enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace, overlooking Windermere and Coniston Fells (£39pp). The head chef, Gerald van der Walt, creates new menus every few months based on what is in season, so you might be treated to a lemon and strawberry gâteau in summer or a venison and damson sausage roll in autumn. Afterwards, stay in one of Linthwaite's comfy rooms, with floral prints and fabric headboards; opt for a View room for vistas of the B&B doubles from £265 ( • Lake District v Peak District: which is better? The setting for afternoon tea at St Brides looks out over Saundersfoot Bay, a thick wedge of biscuity gold sand backed by cottages and countryside. There's a strong Welsh accent to the spread here — expect Caerphilly cheese scones and a 'Welsh strawberries and cream' fruit tea — and, best of all, it's only £29 a head. Be sure to book the Tea Time Me Time package, which combines a spell in the spa's thermal suite with afternoon tea (from £75). Start the day with a hike along the superlative Pembrokeshire Room-only doubles from £192 ( • Best hotels in Wales There's little that is more soul-soothing than a long, expansive view of a loch. And, as you'd expect, the Lodge on Loch Lomond is in peak position — not just for views of its namesake, but also of Ben Lomond in the background. Expect crowd-pleasing favourites in the afternoon tea, including carrot cake, macarons and chocolate brownies in dainty miniature form; or go savoury with delights such as haggis bon bons (£24pp). After a stroll around the water, visit the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre or take out a pedal boat. Bed down for the night in one of the Lodge's tasteful tartan B&B doubles from £219 ( The ripples and curves of the evergreen Yorkshire Dales show off English beauty at its finest, and this understated inn near Skipton has dramatic landscapes on all sides. Settle in at the Fell's two-AA-rosette restaurant, which has huge windows filled with that classic scenery, as well as a tea with a difference. You'll get an elegantly presented taste of local food heritage — milk stout cake, fruitcake, Yorkshire pudding with roast beef and Yorkshire curd tart (£28pp). The fabulous spread is best enjoyed after tackling a scenic walking loop around the peaceful Bolton Abbey estate, spying the ruins of the 12th-century priory en B&B doubles from £154 ( It's a classic Cornish view: a bright teal cove rippling into a wide sweep of pale gold sand and a green headland sheltering the shallows. It could only be improved by clotted cream — applied after the jam, of course, in true Cornish style. Carbis Bay's afternoon tea overlooks its namesake, a 25-acre blue-flag beach. You can tuck in on the sea-view terrace or in the Orangery (£70 for two). Local jams and Tregothnan tea give it a traditional, sustainable feel — no madcap flavours here. There's a hotel spa to enjoy beforehand, or nip into nearby St Ives for art galleries, sculptures and quaint seaside B&B doubles from £312 ( • Cornwall's best beaches Few city skylines are as distinctive and magical as that of Edinburgh, with its cinematic castle, the Balmoral Hotel's clock tower and the columns of the National Monument. See it all from one of the new kids on the block, the W Hotel, whose tenth-floor SushiSamba restaurant has views across the urban landscape — and a glam afternoon tea. Take a stroll through Scotland's prettiest city, taking in the Scots baronial and gothic revival architecture, then settle in at the W for tree-shaped cake stands bearing Latin-Asian fusion treats, including an Edinburgh sushi roll and Brazilian coffee mousse (£65pp). Your room for the night is a glossy, modern number with pops of orange and a little bar set-up for Room-only doubles from £251 ( • Scotland's most luxurious hotels Sitting above secluded Combesgate beach, this smart north Devon hotel has 28 lovely rooms, wonderful sea views and direct access to the South West Coast Path. For afternoon tea, delicious handmade cakes and pastries are served alongside sandwiches and scones with Devon cream and jam. You can enjoy it on the terrace or in the cosy lounge — or you could get it packed into a hamper and head out (£45pp).

Pretty Staffordshire destination dubbed the 'most English place in the UK'

Despite its rich history, buzzing marketplace and cultural heritage, Lichfield remains an under-the-radar destination, only attracting around 125,000 visitors each year Just a two-hour journey from Liverpool, nestled in the heart of Staffordshire, sits a charming and thriving historic city. Once dubbed the "most English place in the country", Lichfield epitomises geographical "middle England" and happens to be Britain's most inland city. ‌ With excellent rail connections to major cities nationwide, this cathedral city welcomes tourists with a blend of historic appeal, cultural heritage, and contemporary living. Whether you're interested in strolling down ancient cobbled lanes, relaxing with a picnic in Beacon Park, or indulging in retail therapy around Lichfield Market Square, this compact 800 year old city offers countless delights to explore. ‌ Originally established as a humble settlement in the 7th century, Lichfield has evolved into a vibrant city housing nearly 107,000 residents. It comes after news that an abandoned UK Butlin's site is now seaside town's 'hell hole' hotel. ‌ Unlike renowned destinations such as Oxford and York, which each welcome over seven million tourists annually, Lichfield remains a captivating yet undiscovered gem, attracting just 125,000 visitors per year, reports the Liverpool Echo. As the birthplace of Samuel Johnson, the celebrated author and poet who created the first 'great English dictionary' in 1755, Lichfield holds significant literary importance. Tourists can explore the life and legacy of this distinguished author by touring his former residence. Lichfield Cathedral, a cherished landmark that has stood for over a thousand years, symbolises the city's historical significance. It's the only cathedral in the UK with three spires and is affectionately known as 'the Ladies of the Vale'. Visitors are invited to explore 1300 years of history within the cathedral and chapel walls. The renowned Herkenrode stained glass and the Lichfield Gospels can be admired here, and if you time your visit right, you might even get to attend a service or concert. ‌ Lichfield is a hub of creativity, hosting various arts events throughout the year. The annual Lichfield Festival, an 11-day event, is a particular highlight, showcasing music, dance, theatre, and visual arts, while celebrating talent both locally and internationally. For those looking for some retail therapy or a memento from their trip, Lichfield Market, held every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday on the historic Market Square, is a must-visit. Up to 52 stalls offer a wide variety of quality items, including baked goods, homemade crafts, and fresh produce. For those seeking a peaceful retreat with expansive gardens and endless walking trails, Beacon Park is the destination of choice. Covering more than 70 acres of beautiful gardens and open space, Beacon Park is a haven for nature lovers with its impressive floral displays, woodland walks, and tree-lined paths, making it perfect for family outings. In September 2024, the beloved Lichfield Proms in Beacon Park celebrated its 25th anniversary. Thousands of locals and visitors from across the country continue to enjoy a free musical and visual spectacle set against the park's stunning backdrop.

Man moves to Edinburgh from London and receives 'abuse' from Scottish people

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Edinburgh resident from England spoke out on TikTok about online "abuse" he received after moving to the Scottish capital from London. The man took to social media, sharing his 'disappointment' at the response, claiming "everyone I've met here is really nice". He filmed a video while walking through the Meadows, asking people to "be more compassionate". He said: "I posted a video a few weeks ago about how much I love living in Edinburgh after living in London, and the amount of abuse that I got from Scottish people saying, 'We don't want you here. Go back to England. Stop telling people to move to Edinburgh,' [as if] I have the kind of power to make a person move house. "It was really disappointing to be honest. Everyone I've met here is really nice, so I'm not sure who all these super angry individuals are. "Imagine what would have happened if I'd have made a video saying that I didn't like Edinburgh. I can't win. Imagine the backlash. "It was really disappointing, to be honest. I love Scottish people. I think they're so nice and they've been nothing but welcoming to me here, but Jesus Christ on TikTok - the hate. "I get it right. It's hard times for people. Prices go up when more people move to a place, I understand. But it's very difficult to isolate that to just Edinburgh. All around the UK, people are finding it extremely difficult to get by. "Anyone who wants to live in the center of a town or a city - it's so ridiculously expensive now I think we all just need to be a little bit more compassionate." Sympathetic locals took to the comments. One said: "Oh God, I am from Edinburgh. I'm so sorry you have been abused." Another shared: "Cybernats are the pits. Online anti-English trolls are the worst." A third penned: "I'm Scottish but have moved back to Edinburgh from London after 25 years and I prefer England. I can't stand Scots who walk around with a chip on their shoulder and even now colleagues are funny with me because I lived down there."
