1. Enjoy a Scenic Countryside Walk

Nothing beats the simple pleasure of a peaceful countryside walk. From the rolling Derbyshire hills near Albany Lodge, Derby, to the breathtaking landscapes of Yorkshire close to Alderman Lodge, Brighouse, there are countless trails to explore. Try a gentle stroll through Chatsworth Park, home to one of England’s most magnificent stately homes, or venture into the rugged beauty of the Peak District. Walking is not just great for physical health but also a wonderful way to clear the mind and embrace nature.

2. Indulge in a Coastal Retreat

There’s something truly restorative about spending time by the sea. For those living in Royles Lodge, Thornton Cleveleys, the stunning Fylde Coast is right on the doorstep. Enjoy a leisurely walk along Cleveleys Promenade, take in the fresh sea air, or relax at a beachfront café with a delicious cream tea. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not take a boat trip along Morecambe Bay or visit the charming fishing villages of the Lancashire coast?

3. Experience the Magic of Outdoor Theatre

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy open-air theatre performances. Pack a picnic and head to a magical outdoor production at venues like Hardwick Hall or Yorkshire’s Bolton Abbey. Shakespeare under the stars or a classic period drama makes for a truly enchanting evening. And when the performance ends, returning home to one of Burghley Living’s luxury homes for sale in the UK ensures comfort, relaxation, and an elegant living space to reflect on the experience.

4. Savour a Wine Tasting Experience

For wine lovers, summer offers the perfect excuse to sample new vintages in a picturesque setting. The Midlands and Yorkshire are home to some exceptional vineyards, including Renishaw Hall Vineyard in Derbyshire and Holmfirth Vineyard near Wakefield. Enjoy a guided tasting, tour the vines, and discover new favourites to stock up for your next gathering at Merrifield Manor, Wakefield. With spacious communal lounges and welcoming neighbours, it’s easy to share your love for fine wine in a warm and sociable setting.

5. Dine at Exclusive Summer Pop-Ups
