Top 20 Vegan Friendly Passport Free Things To Do In The UK This Summer

By Emma Fry

With travel abroad still somewhat restricted in 2021, the U.K. has so much to offer from dramatic coastlines, ancient castles and rugged highland to an urban vegan food scene that rivals some of the best vegan friendly spots in the world!

Let’s get planning.

1

Plan a weekend in Brighton but take your hiking boots! From brighton take the train to Seaford and hike the beautiful seven sisters cliffs for epic views all the way to Eastborne. Finish the day off with some delicious and well earned vegan ‘fish ‘n chips’ at Erpingham House.

2

Have an adventurous day out in Bath. Spend the morning on a guided cycle tour or stand up paddle board with Darroch from Bath Cycle Tours and then move right on to a vegan food tour in the city centre with The Bath Herbitour - a full day of action!

3

Consider a weekend away focusing on volunteering with a local animal sanctuary, explore new parts of the U.K. and spend time with animals, a win-win weekend. 4 Learn mountain skills in Snowdonia. Visit some of the best peaks in the U.K. and get skilled up! You’ll find a range of mountain and outdoor skills courses in this part of the country so get your name on the list before everyone else has the same idea this summer!

Join a virtual race, stay close to home whilst still racking up the miles! There’s still time to join the #1000MileVegChallenge 2021!

6

Climb the highest peak in the U.K. - are you ready to take on Ben Nevis? The highest mountain in mainland Britain stands at 1345m so now is the time to start training!

7

Single traveller or don’t have time to organise a trip? Join a small vegan group tour and spend some time with fun, friendly like minded people.

8

Consider pet sitting, sites such as Trusted Pet Sitters are becoming popular and with lots of people staying in the U.K. this summer, there might just be a lot of pets to sit!

9

Join a vegan meet up or online travel group, make new like minded friends and have some new adventures.

10

Skill yourself up in the kitchen and book on a vegan cooking course with Demuths who specialise in plant based cooking.

11

Treat yourself and support the vegan travel industry by booking a few nights at a vegan hotel, check out Saorsahotel in Scotland for some vegan travel inspiration!

12

Help support conservation and fun days out around the country with a National Trust membership.

13

Go to the Welsh vegan festival in August and make a weekend of it, festival, hiking and vegan food, the perfect combo!

14

Volunteer with The Wildlife Trusts and help look after a nature reserve.

15

Choose a week long section of the south west coastal path and get hiking!

16

Walk the Wye valley to see some of the best landscapes in Southern Britain, take your vegan pack lunch, flask of tea and get out exploring the beauties of Britain right on your doorstep!

17

Urban adventures in London; pick a section of the river Thames hike and get going! You might also like to get involved with Made In Hackney, a wonderful vegan community cookery school and charity doing great work in east London.

18

Do the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge with your vegan besties! The Yorkshire Three Peaks form part of the Pennine range. The challenge is to take on the peaks of Peny-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, all of which has to be done in under 12 hours. Good luck!

19

Wild swim in Lake Windermere - the U.K’s largest natural lake.

20

Round up your vegan besties and do an iconic walk; the coast to coast, the west highland way or Hadrian’s wall are just a few ideas!
