Set Summer Free Picnic Guides
Our Favourite Picnic Spots
When it comes to picnicking, we have a few centuries' worth of experience under our belts. So to put our picnicking prowess to the test, we embarked on a summer-long series to explore some of the UK's most delicious picnic spots. From the coasts of Cornwall to the hidden gems of London, from Dorset's breathtaking countryside all the way to Stonehenge, we found family favourites, stunning views, trails ideal for dog walks and even some hidden gems.
Join us on our glorious sun-drenched odyssey and get ready to Open Summer with our favourite picnic spots the nation has to offer.
