BRITS looking for somewhere to go during the half term don't have to look to far thanks to some of the most stunning locations which can be found in the UK.
Many of the locations look very similar to more exotic destinations such as Bali or Hawaii.
Premier Inn shared pictures of ten paradise locations that you wouldn’t believe are actually right on our doorstep.
From flowing waterfalls that wouldn’t look out of place in a Bali jungle, to crystal clear waters that are an Instagrammer’s dream, discover the best places in the UK for a little taste of paradise.
Tenby, Wales
With palm trees, golden sands, blue sea and colourful buildings, Tenby could easily be mistaken for the coast of Bali when the sun decides to shine.
You can in fact find this paradise in the South West of Wales, with the town of Tenby boasting three amazing beaches; North, South and Castle, each with its own character.
Langamull beach, Isle of Mull, Scotland
Dubbed the Mull Caribbean due to its likeness to a Caribbean island beach, this beach is ‘one of Mull’s best kept secrets’.
Visitors are treated to white shell sand that looks straight out of a holiday brochure.
The stunning secluded beach requires a good 20-minute walk to get there, but the spectacular views on a clear day make a trip well worth it.
High Force Falls, County Durham
With luscious greenery and fast flowing waterfalls, you’d be forgiven for thinking this location was within Costa Rican jungle.
The High Force Falls in County Durham is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in England, with a 21-metre drop into the beautiful plunge pool below.
Tinside Lido, Plymouth
With stunning poolside views and a striking resemblance to the famous Icebergs Pool at Sydney's Bondi Beach, a visit to Tinside Lido in the summer is a must.
Set in a beautiful location overlooking the sea at the tip of Plymouth Hoe, the salt water swimming pool offers visitors a great location for swimming and sunbathing.
Three Cliffs Bay, Wales
Three Cliffs Bay beach offers a spectacular shoreline of sand dunes and salt marshes alongside the signature three limestone cliffs.
This photogenic part of the Gower Coast Path is a perfect place to stop for a picnic too.
Portmeirion Village, North Wales
If you’re after a taste of Italy then look no further than the little village of Portmeirion.
Its unique architecture was actually designed and built specifically in the style of an Italian village by Sir Clough William-Ellis between 1925 and 1975. The quaint village can be found in Gwynedd in the North of Wales.
Barafundle Bay, Wales
Barafundle Bay, close to the village of Stackpole in Pembrokeshire, is a beautiful area that nestles between cliffs and could be easily mistaken for a secluded bay on a Greek island.
The beach used to be owned by the Cawdor family of Stackpole Court and was their private beach.
Now, it’s open to everyone and previously made the list as one of the top 12 beaches in the world. The Good Holiday Guide also named it the 'best beach in Britain'.
Kynance Cove, Cornwall
This cove is "One of the most photographed and painted locations in Cornwall."
With beautiful white sand and blue sea, Kynance wouldn't look out of place on the Sardinian coastline.
At low tide there are plenty of sea caves and islands to explore and its serpentine rock-towers has even made it the perfect set for BBC One TV show Poldark.
West Bay, Dorset
With towering orange cliffs and beautiful clear waters, West Bay in Dorset could easily be mistaken for the Algarve.
The seaside location is perfect for family holidays and coastal walks and the nearby market town of Bridport has a reputation for great culture and food.
Sgwd Yr Eira, Wales
The Sgwd Yr Eira waterfall in Wales looks like a picture-perfect spot in Thailand, but the waterfall can actually be found in the Melte Valley in the Brecon Beacons.
Translated literally as "fall of snow," visitors can even able to walk along the path behind the curtain of water, which makes for the perfect photo opportunity.
The UK is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with some of the cleanest and safest awarded a prestigious Blue Flag award.
There are currently 71 Blue Flag beaches across the country with the most in the South West.
With good weather around the corner, we've also rounded up the best picnic spots across the country.
