16 places you should visit in the United Kingdom that aren't London

• London has a lot to offer, but there are lots of other amazing cities in the UK.
• Tenby, Wales is a beautiful medieval city on the coast.
• The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland offers up so much to see.
• York is a small city in England with a lot of charm.

When you think of the United Kingdom, the first place that comes to mind is probably London. The bustling city is a favorite, popular for being rich in history, culture, style, and, of course, great food. A visit to London always makes for an exciting vacation, but the UK is made up of a lot more than just one city.

There are so many other places you can travel to in the UK aside from London that have just as much history, beauty, and charm (if not more), and you should try to make it to at least a few of them. Here are some of the other beautiful options:

Tenby, Wales is a beautiful medieval city on the coast.

Located right on the coast in Wales, Tenby is a popular tourist destination worth traveling to. There are plenty of beaches for relaxing and fishing, coastal walks like the Pembrokeshire Coast Path for those who want to get more active, and lots of history with museums and historic sites, including Picton Castle.

It's also only a short boat ride away from two islands, Caldey Island and St. Catherine's, which are small, calm spots to get some beautiful views.

Bath is known as one of the most beautiful cities in England.

Bath is located in the countryside in South West England, but it's still a popular tourist destination that delivers so much culture. It's famous for its Roman Baths (which is where the name comes from), hot springs, and beautiful architecture.

While there, you can grab fresh-baked treats at the famous Sally Lunn's bakery, check out the beautiful Abbey, relax at Thermae Bath Spa, go for a walk in one of the many gardens, and just explore the city while strolling at your own pace.

The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland offers up so much to see.

If you're looking for a slightly more adventurous trip, you may want to consider heading to the Giant's Causeway in Ireland. With thousands of interlocking basalt columns, there is so much to explore, and plenty of walking trails and hikes to allow you to do that.

While you're there, be sure to check out natural wonders like the Giant's Boot and the Wishing Chair. A walk along the cliff-top path gives you stunning views.
