I spent my Easter break in the inner city of Leicester, which generally has more of an urban vibe to it despite being midland territory. Leicester is predominantly a rural area, the further out from town you stay, the better the perspective of what Leicester you'll have. Even in town, you'll are a great perspective of urban city life with shining glimpses of nature's beauty.
Leicester's actually a pretty interesting place, from first glances I must admit I didn't think much of it but there's more than meets the eye with the city. The small city is affiliated with historic moments such as the suffragette movement, Britain's textile industry, royal remains and even football.
During my visit I was pretty preoccupied, but I was able to catch some nature shots that I don't think would be too easy to find back in London.

During my visit to Bognor Regis last September,
we were blessed with the rare occurrence of sun! Small in size, Bognor Regis is a beautiful coastal resort which I would definitely recommend visiting if
coming to the UK.
It's just outside of Portsmouth, a popular port city with a rich naval history. Only
a 3 hour drive from London, it’s a great place to stay for a weekend getaway. In
my short stay I was able to get a view of the pier originally constructed in 1865- a bit nerve-wracking when
you’re scared of heights, but still utterly gorgeous, the natural sunlight resulting in some magical photos with the reflection off the water.
Scattered around the
small town are elegant gardens and small stores selling candied rock and fish
and chips. British beaches may not be the most tropical or warmest but the area is warm with a sense of community which is comforting to an outsider.
