For a nation bounded by history and damson hedgerows, bread-and-butter Sunday suppers and stoic stone circles, there's still places that feel unexpectedly global. Think Hebridean beaches that feel more like the Bahamas, Dutch polderland-esque Norfolk wetlands, and Anglesey coastlines that have a hint of the Atacama about their mountain-backed plains. This month, we’re charting a course through Britain's most disorienting destinations. You might not need a passport, but you'll surely do a double-take.

When we conjure up images of British escapes that seem to have it all, all roads lead to the sea… but the Hebrides? Go now, while Luskentyre Beach isn’t yet a household name, for a stay that’s all whiskey, white sands, and Bahamian blue. This is nature's purest beauty.

Cornish architecture was a major influencer on Real del Monte in Mexico, but did you know there's a slice of the Riviera Maya in Coverack? This is Pomona, whose glass walls frame a jungle-like garden; a rural take on a tropical fantasy.
