1. Henrhyd Falls, Wales

1. Henrhyd Falls, Wales - Featured accommodation

Henrhyd Falls, the highest waterfall in South Wales, is not at all dissimilar to some of Indonesia's popular lush, subtropical falls such as Nungnung and Tegenungan. It's fairly easy to access, and after exploring the environment and admiring the gorgeous cascade of flowing water, you can have a go at wild swimming inside. This hidden gem in the Brecon Beacons has also earned its own popularity by being used as a filming location for the third Batman movie: The Dark Knight Rises.

2. Isle of Barra, Scotland

The north coast of the Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides looks very much like it's somewhere in the Caribbean. With its white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters, this small but gorgeous island will give you the very much wanted tropical feel.

3. Isles of Scilly, Cornwall

There's a good chance you've heard of Mont-Saint-Michel, a tidal island and very popular tourist attraction in France, so you surely already know which is its UK sibling. St Michael's Mount in Cornwall has very apparent similarities to its French counterpart. They both have a building on the top of the mount, and they are both accessible by a causeway. Only, St Michael is about four times smaller.

5. Hitchin Lavender, Hertfordshire
