50 little known places in Britain to enjoy

I enjoyed this article of 'secret' places in Britain to discover.

Thanks for that! There are a few within 60 miles of me that I'll have to check out! Someday... when the rain goes away.

Here is part 2 of this series:

I'd hardly call the Heights of Abraham a secret!  Matlock Bath is always swarming with tourists. 

I'll vouch for Skomer Island! It's wonderful!

lol, not suprised Cambridgeshire isn't listed 

16. Horsey Beach, Norfolk

A wide, sandy, and often deserted beach 12 miles from the kiss-me-quick clatter of Great Yarmouth. There is a resident grey seal population, best seen in winter. The sand dunes-backed beach is a good one-mile walk from the village, which probably accounts for the lack of crowds. Horsey Mere, west of the village, is 120 acres of delights, and marsh harriers and cranes can be seen (or, more likely, heard, in the case of the latter). At Horsey Staithe, there is a windmill which used to act as a drainage pump for the mere, and has now been restored by the National Trust.

The whole stretch of beach for several miles south of Sea Palling, through Waxham, Horsey, and down nearly to Winterton-on-Sea is pretty much the same, as there's very little actually within a mile or so of the coast except farms and very small settlements.  Horsey village mentioned in this article is itself tiny, even by English village standards.

Here's a continuation of the article where people wrote in with their favorite places in the UK:

4. Sutton-on-Sea; Lincolnshire

Sutton-on-Sea was recommended by reader Michael Clarke, along with Sandilands, a little further down the coast. He writes that they both have "great beaches, beach huts, and all the usual seaside amenities without the crowds".

That's another place I know, as I lived there for several years.  Last time I looked at real-estate ads though, the beach huts were going for ridiculous prices.
