England is the home to many beautiful villages – some of which are considered to be not only in England, but in the whole world as well. Always talking about the vibrant city life, we often tend to forget how amazing the countryside can be and this country proves us exactly that.
These ten villages offer something that is definitely worth seeing – cobblestone streets, stone cottages, medieval squares, castles and churches, all of these being surrounded by forests and in some cases even the sea. Not only you will get to taste the local cuisine and the breathtaking architecture, but you will also be stunned from the view you’ll get!

Best Beaches in Sydney, Australia
Sydney Australia is famous for its beautiful beaches, so I decided to go find the best beaches that this city has to offer...
Here is my list of the Best Beaches in Sydney Australia:
BRONTE BEACH
My list begins on the southside of Sydney’s incredible coastal walk with a family-friendly place called Bronte Beach. Natural and man-made pools protect you from the dangerous rip known as the Bronte Express.
COOGEE BEACH
Over Dolphin’s Point, There’s Coogee Beach, which is much larger than Bronte and also safer for swimming.
Both Bronte and Coogee are located in really cool neighborhoods with some great places to eat and drink down by the water.
CLOVELLY BEACH
In between Coogee and Bronte is the concrete and rocky waterfront of Clovelly Beach - its the perfect place to go if you don’t want any sand in your bikini.
GORDONS BAY
Across Bundock Park is Gordons Bay, which doesn’t have the best beach, but the water is calm and clear so its a really nice spot for snorkeling.
PARSLEY BAY
I absolutely love the smaller bay beaches towards the top end of the Peninsula, and my personal favorite of all these is a cool little hidden gem called Parsley Bay. It is tucked away within a quiet neighborhood and the shark nets make me feel better about swimming.
KUTTIE BEACH
Kuttie is another small, quiet spot within a residential area.
WATSONS BAY
When you're at Watson's Bay, stop by Doyle's for lunch on the water. A completely different vibe here than over between Bondi and Bronte Beach.
MILK BEACH
For amazing views of Sydney Harbor, follow the path to the small and quiet Milk Beach.
TAMARAMA BEACH
Back over on the beautiful coastline, the quiet and secluded Tamarama Beach is great place to get away from the crowds of neighboring Coogee and Bondi.
Its usually occupied by a laid-back, local crowd with a heavy focus on the top-notch surf break.
BONDI BEACH
Just around the rocky cliffs, you’ll find one of the most well known beaches in the world… From the iconic Icebergs pool which overlooks the beach, to the abundance of beautiful sunbathers, Bondi is famous for a reason.
Popular with international backpackers and tourists, its a place to see and be seen. Especially considering its bikini top optional.
Don’t get too distracted though, because There’s tons of beach activities going on, and the waves are a bit more manageable than at other beaches, so its a good place to take your first surf lesson or just go for a swim.
If you’re in town for awhile, stay at the Hotel Ravesis right at the beach and check out some of the chill bars and delicious restaurants around the neighborhood.
MANLY BEACH
If you take the ferry north from Sydney Harbor, you’ll come to Manly Beach - the gateway to the most beautiful stretch of sand in Sydney.
Manly itself is the most lively of all the northern beaches, with surf competitions and weekend events, its a very popular place in the summertime.
But If you’re looking to break away from the crowds, keep heading north and you’ll find a lot more space in the sand at places like Collaroy beach, Avalon beach, and way up at the top, is Palm Beach.
PALM BEACH
Palm Beach is Sydney's most northerly stretch of sand, and It sits on a peninsula at the end of Barrenjoey Road, between Pittwater and Broken Bay. Palm Beach is sometimes referred to as 'Palmy' and its a great spot for surfing and sunbathing. Make sure you walk up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse for an amazing view!
And If you’ve made it this far, you’ve officially explored some of the best beaches in Sydney!

Best cities for swimming (Quest's World of Wonder)
In this picture you see, one of 18 official outdoor bathing spots where water is crystal-clear. The city is Zurich.
This is the picture of Berlin where swimming is spacious.
This is the picture of London's Brockwell Lido where swimmers and dinners are passing good time.
This is the picture of Clovelly Beach which is even better than Bondi.
Cooling off on a summer city break doesn't have to mean going on a sweat-soaked search for the nearest air-con unit.
These classic destinations offer plenty of spots for taking a dip and shaking off the heat with the locals:
1. Copenhagen, Denmark
A city surrounded by water, Copenhagen is a joy for swimmers, especially as midsummer looms and winter becomes a distant memory.
Amager Beach Park is an ideal sandy spot for whiling away an afternoon. It's a two-kilometer artificial island that creates a calm lagoon perfect for a paddle.
If leaving the city seems like a chore, the sensational harbor baths at Islands Brygge and Fisketorvet are a winning alternative. Daredevils can try out the diving boards while fitness fanatics can plow out laps in the clean, cool water.
Amager Strandpark, Amager Strandvej, Copenhagen 2300 Denmark;
2. Zurich, Switzerland
Switzerland's love affair with diving into rivers and lakes isn't just confined to the High Alps. Zurich has 18 official outdoor bathing spots, all offering crystal-clear water in stunning surroundings.
Tiefenbrunnen swimming beach, on the shores of Lake Zurich, is the big draw thanks to its kids' pool, diving boards and the chance to get a post-swim massage.
For something off the beaten track, men can try the Schanzengraben river pool, which dates back to 1864. The women-only Stadthausquai pool is an art nouveau gem with views of the old town.
Frauenbad Stadthausquai, Stadthausquai 13, Zurich Switzerland;
Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen, Bellerivestrasse 200, Zurich 8008 Switzerland;
3. London, England
While plans for swimming in the Thames remain some way off, London has plenty of watering holes that come into their own when the English capital gets its sweat on.
Head north to the open spaces of Hampstead Heath for delicious freshwater bathing in one of the park's three bathing ponds.
The vast Tooting Bec Lido, in the southwest of the city, is a colossal 91-meter pool with room for serious swimmers and serial splashers.
South London's Brockwell Lido has the added bonus of a classy cafe. Central Hyde Park has a surprisingly secluded swimming spot in the Serpentine Lido.
4. Hong Kong
Hong Kong might not be your stereotypical beach town. But it's home to some truly stunning stretches of sand.
The sticky heat of Hong Kong means that diving into cool water is a must when summer comes around.
At Repulse Bay, the water laps gently on the sand, making it the perfect place for an easy dip. For a hectic but fun-filled swim, Shek O offers amazing views to swimmers venturing out from the packed beach.
Those unable to make it out of the city center can still take advantage of some swanky hotel pools. The W's 76th floor oasis has harbor views and a lengthy cocktail menu for ultimate post-paddle relaxation.
W Hong Kong, No.1 Austin Road West, Kowloon Station, Hong Kong China;
5. Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver's obsession with all things outdoors makes it the best city in Canada for anyone looking to take to the water. The beaches here are wonderful.
For a quiet dip away from the crowds, Third Beach is the place to be.
On the Stanley Park seawall, its calm waters are great for a lengthy session of breast stroke. Best of all, visitors can bring their own barbecue.
Trout Lake Beach has a dedicated swimming raft, its lush freshwater a pleasant alternative to the salty stuff which surrounds the city.
6. Sydney, Australia
Home to the world's largest natural harbor and some of Australia's best beaches, Sydney is a city which lives for the water.
Swimmers should swerve the surfers at Bondi and instead make for Clovelly Bay. At 350 meters long and just 60 meters wide, with a breakwater dampening those big waves, it's the ultimate place for a seaside dip.
For a more secluded paddle, check out the South West Arm Pool. Cut off at low tide, this saltwater swimming hole is like nowhere else in this corner of Oz.

Things to do in Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay & Eden: Melbourne to Sydney Drive
Discover the whitest sand beach in the world: Hyams Beach in Jervis Bay. The Sapphire Coast in New South Wales is an absolutely mind-blowing road trip if you're making your way from Melbourne to Sydney via the coastal route.
Did you miss Part 1 of our guide covering the best places to stop in Victoria? Watch it here:
After we said 'Sayonara' to Victoria and crossed into New South Wales, our first stop was the beautiful township of Eden, roughly a 4-hour drive from Lakes Entrance in Gippsland. From there, it's super easy to explore the vast and scenic Ben Boyd Park and the town's gorgeous beaches and coastlines.
2 days later, I've made up my mind about where I'm going to retire. Plans sorted. We then drove another 2 hours to Bermagui, which was a perfect halfway point to stretch our legs, whip out a picnic and run amuck at the stunning Blue Pool Bermagui. You absolutely have to stop here to admire and enjoy this incredible little spot and, if the weather permits, go for a dip inside.
The real stunner was Hyams Beach located in the bottom half of Jervis Bay in New South Wales. If you want to dig your feet into some of the finest and whitest sand beach in the world, then a few nights here (or even a week) is absolutely necessary. Only a 2-hour day trip from Sydney, Jervis Bay Australia is the perfect getaway from the city to get back in touch with nature. It certainly is one of the most breathtaking Sydney beaches, or probably, in all of Australia. Prove me wrong.
If Jervis Bay isn't on your Melbourne to Sydney itinerary, then you need to rejig that entire plan - right now.

Our MINI Countryman (we named her the 'pocket rocket)that we drove from Melbourne to Sydney was provided by Doncaster MINI Garage. Many thanks for letting us drive this beast that turned many heads.
