Planning a Weekend Getaway from Birmingham? Check Out Some of the Exotic Locations

You have stayed in Solihull for the past few years. It is a beautiful area, and you love the place. You love going around. However, since the pandemic hit the world, you have been stuck at home. Now it has been quite a long time since you last went out anywhere, and staying indoors is getting at you. You cannot stay at home anymore and badly want to go out. Let us have a look at some of the breathtaking places that you can go to for your weekend getaway:

Weekend Getaway 1
  • Cotswolds -- Cotswolds has pretty cottages and villages that you can explore. Go out here to experience the freshness of greenery. There are beautiful gardens around and lovely shops. You can purchase antique items from these shops. You can drop by to look at the waterways, have coffee, and have something to snack on at the cafes. The eateries here serve food with home-grown materials. Everything from the spinach eggs to the milk, curd and cheese is farm-fresh. If you are looking for a place where you can sit in silence, there are churches around that you can visit. 
  • Bath -- It will take around 50 minutes to drive here from Birmingham. Once you reach here, the golden honey-coloured Bath will be absolutely a treat to watch. Have a stroll around Roman history as you look at the architecturally magnificent building.
  • Yorkshire Sculpture Park -- Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a gallery that you can sit in with the open sky above your head. You can walk for miles together and have a look at sculptures and figures of various shapes, sizes and materials. There are sculptures of Andy Goldsworthy and Henry Moore as well as the place has a beautiful exhibition of the Chapel, Underground Gallery and Longside Gallery. Also, before you go to the park, make sure you grab a sandwich, a slice of cake, scones with cream and jam, soup and sausage rolls or local Yorkshire pie from a nearby restaurant.
  • Whitstable -- A few hours drive from Birmingham, the seaside town of Whitstable on the Kent coast is a pretty area. The locality consists of multicoloured beach huts and a long stretch of shingle and pastel-painted shop fronts. As you look forward to the sea, how about going a little fancy? The seaside offers you seafood such as lobsters soaked in butter, classic fishes, oysters fresh from the sea along with piping hot chips.
  • Southwest Cornwall -- Around four hours drive from Birmingham towards Penzance; you will find Southwest Cornwall. It will be worth it as you find coastlines, beautiful beaches and pretty ports. Look at the waves at St Ives Surf School on Porthmeor Beach. Make sure you take out time to visit Tate St Ives. There is also an open-air auditorium called Minack Theatre, which you can add to the list of the places you are going to visit. It would be best if you tried the traditional Cornish pasty, fresh crab sandwiches and light snacks from the Island Café on St Michael`s Mount.
