Read about the best places to visit in the UK for a babymoon to celebrate your pregnancy and relationship before your little one arrives.
If you are pregnant then you are likely well aware that there is a lot to celebrate now and in the future, because new life is always exciting. You may also be aware that once you have the baby, things like holidays are going to be different for you and your partner. For these reasons, many people like to have a babymoon, which is a trip you take when pregnant before the baby is born. If you’re thinking about taking a babymoon, take a look at these 7 best UK locations to celebrate your upcoming family addition:
- St Ives, Cornwall
St Ives is easy to get to on the train if you don’t want to drive, and is pregnancy friendly because although there are steep hills, they can be avoided. There is also plenty to do all in a very small area such as restaurants, coffee shops, shops, beaches and art galleries.
- The Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is very private, quiet and beautiful, perfect for a babymoon. You can spend the whole weekend in a gorgeous Airbnb or, go for a wander through beautiful meadows and quaint villages.
- The Peak District
You won’t be climbing any huge hills, but you can enjoy some beautiful drives through the area, stopping off for photo opportunities and shorter less demanding walks. A lot of the accommodation is quaint and cute too, so if you wanted to spend all weekend there, you wouldn’t be unhappy.
- Snowdonia National Park
Snowdonia does have some smaller, more manageable walks for those who may be less able to tackle the many steeps available. However, like The Peak District you can simply get a car picnic and enjoy some of the most amazing drives through the scenery instead of walking anywhere.
- Bath
Bath is known as an amazing destination for wellness and relaxation. The thermal water spa is a draw for many and the city itself is gorgeous anyway should you want to enjoy a wander.
- Argyll & Bute
The Argyll and Bute area of Scotland is extremely rural and has many hidden lodges and cottages for you to spend time in. Most of the drives are absolutely incredible and if you don’t mind exploring you can easily base yourself here and explore Glencoe and further without too much trouble. For the ultimate comfort, why not dust your camper van out from self storage (such as Storing.com) and use it as a day base to relax and make hot drinks? Or even just dusting your camping hob off in your local self storage unit (see self storage prices here) and setting up a tea station in the back of your car will be very helpful for comfort.
- Isle Of Wight
The Isle of Wight is far enough away to feel like you’re properly on holiday, but close enough not to be too much of a trek for a babymoon. There are some gorgeous coastal retreats and plenty of easy access beauty spots for a stroll.
A babymoon can be a really special celebration of your pregnancy and a much-needed rest before a different type of hard work begins. Do select your locations carefully to ensure you’ll get the best out of it in your current condition. Every pregnancy is different and every woman feels different, so what is right for you might not be right for another. What is definite is that you deserve this break and your baby will benefit from you relaxing and winding down in this lead up to the birth.
