Dundee (Scotland)

Nearest station: Dundee 

Once seen as an afterthought on the way to the Highlands, Dundee has quietly evolved into one of Scotland’s most exciting small cities. From the stunning V&A Dundee to an ever-growing food scene and waterfront regeneration, it’s creative, compact, and ideal for a low-stress weekend. Easy rail links from across Scotland and beyond — and yes, the views crossing the Forth Rail Bridge are just as good as they say.

Aberdovey (Wales)

Nearest station: Aberdovey 

Set between sea and hills, Aberdovey is a calm, pastel-coloured contrast to the usual tourist traps. Known for its wide, uncrowded beach and classic seaside charm, it’s a brilliant spot for anyone needing to fully switch off. Hop on a train from Shrewsbury or Birmingham and wind your way along one of the UK’s most scenic coastal lines, no car required.

Matlock Bath (England)

Nearest station: Matlock Bath

Arcades, cliffside views, fish and chips, Matlock Bath feels like a seaside resort that wandered into the Derbyshire Dales. Quirky, colourful, and surprisingly full of charm, it’s the perfect offbeat day trip or weekend detour. The line from Derby is short, scenic, and gets you right into the heart of it, cable cars and all.
