Welcome to Scenic Journeys Guide

Thank you for visiting Scenic Journeys Guide — your trusted companion for discovering the most breathtaking landscapes and hidden treasures across the United Kingdom. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a cross-country adventure, we’re here to help you experience the UK’s natural beauty and rich heritage with confidence and wonder.

What We Do

Our mission is simple: to inspire meaningful travel by sharing authentic, well-researched guides to the UK’s most stunning destinations. We believe the best journeys aren’t just about ticking off landmarks — they’re about connecting with place, history, and quiet moments of awe. From misty highland lochs to coastal cliffs kissed by sunrise, we spotlight the views that stay with you long after you’ve left.

We explore a wide range of travel experiences across the UK, including:

  • Comprehensive guides to national parks and scenic routes
  • Hidden gems off the beaten path

  • Seasonal travel tips and weather considerations
  • Local food, walking trails, and photography hotspots
  • Accessible travel options for all abilities

About the Creator

Scenic Journeys Guide was founded by Tessa Wellington, a lifelong wanderer with a deep love for the British landscape. After years of exploring every corner of the UK — from the rugged coastlines of Cornwall to the quiet valleys of the Lake District — Tessa began sharing her discoveries with friends and family. What started as personal journal entries grew into this blog, born from a desire to help others find the same peace and wonder she’s found on the road.

Why This Website Exists

In a world of crowded tourist traps and generic travel lists, we noticed a gap: few resources offered thoughtful, locally-informed guidance that prioritized authenticity over popularity. Scenic Journeys Guide was created to fill that gap. We don’t chase viral spots — we seek out places that move you. Our guides are written after multiple visits, in all seasons, with input from locals and a deep respect for the land.

Our Values

We believe travel should be respectful, sustainable, and deeply personal. That’s why we:

  • Only recommend destinations we’ve experienced firsthand
  • Highlight eco-friendly practices and responsible tourism
  • Avoid over-touristed hotspots unless they offer genuine value
  • Update every guide annually to ensure accuracy
  • Listen to our readers — your stories shape our next posts
