Profitable tip:County Sligo, Eire
The west coast of Eire stays among the finest summer time places if you wish to escape the warmth. With temperatures hardly ever (if ever) above 20C and the climate rolling in straight from the Atlantic, the inevitable rain will make you admire the bursts of solar much more. County Sligo is among the hidden gems of the Wild Atlantic Manner, and Strandhill seashore has all the things you want for an ideal day: an honest hike as much as the mysterious, legendary Queen Maeve’s Tomb (and views for days if the climate’s clear) and Shells Cafe for scrumptious tea and cake after a cold Atlantic dip.

Riga, Latvia
Riga is a superb summer time vacation spot minus the acute warmth. At all times round 22C, the capital has beautiful sea breezes coming off the Baltic to maintain you energised throughout its lengthy summer time days when the solar units in direction of midnight. The outdated city is flat and sensible to discover, with car-free streets, picket homes, medieval church buildings and classy cafes for chilled native lager or refreshing tea – and all at costs which gained’t make you break right into a sweat. Take a brief practice experience to Jurmala seashore, the place the sand and sea are cool sufficient to sunbathe and swim in consolation.

North Uist, Outer Hebrides
There’s nowhere just like the Outer Hebrides for conserving cool. The seashores are beautiful – white sands and clear waters – however you want your woolies simply in case. We stayed at Creagan na Mara close to Lochmaddy, North Uist, which is ideal for an early morning ferry again to the mainland. Because it’s not the best location to get to, I 100% suggest staying an evening there and again to ease the journey, ideally north of Fort William. It’s well worth the effort. In addition to being cool, the surroundings is out of this world and it’s probably the most chilled-out, friendliest place I’ve ever been.

There are numerous lovely walks and white-sand seashores paying homage to the Caribbean shores however minus the hovering temperatures.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Whereas the warmth and crowds make southern Europe insufferable in summer time, Copenhagen is cool in lots of senses, with temperatures within the low 20s. We go each summer time and might even swim on Baltic seashores, equivalent to Amager, or the beautiful, invigorating open lidos and harbour baths. It’s an awesome strolling metropolis, filled with squares, car-free streets and leafy, shady parks. One strategy to keep cool and hold with the entire vibe of the place is to take an hour’s canal cruise – simply watching the locals fish or having picnics chills you out.

Hell, Stjørdal, Norway
When it’s baking sizzling and it's good to settle down, Hell is value a go to. The tiny Norwegian village has a a lot cooler local weather than its fiery namesake – and a useful practice station for simple onward journey. Three nights on the Radisson Blu resort will set you again about £500. With lower than a mile of onwards journey, the Freeway to Hell could also be faster than you thought.

Golitha Falls, Cornwall
Head to Golitha Falls on the gorgeous River Fowey. The leafy timber present shade, and the flowing, freezing-cold river offers an invigorating spray because it cascades down. The darkish, mossy-covered rocks appear like inexperienced cushions for the fairies and pixies I think about enjoying within the woods.

Belfast
Wander down town’s shady cobbled lanes clutching some “Poor Bear” ice-cream from Cafe Mauds with a “go on then” additional scoop. Hear music lilting from throughout as you chat to the friendliest locals you’ll ever discover. Then wander by the spray of the Albert Clock fountain whereas the Salmon of Data (AKA the Large Fish printed ceramic mosaic sculpture) appears to be like on because it hits the noon solar. To cap it off, escape to the cellars and basements of native pubsfor some dwell music, expertise the nippiness of the spirit world at Crumlin Street Gaol, or really feel the icy sea spray at Titanic museum.

Cheddar Gorge, Somerset
There’s no want to go to the bracing Highlands to drop a level or two; merely discover the world beneath your toes. Cheddar Gorge, nestled in Somerset’s Mendip Hills, is the proper place to chill off, with its community of caves offering the proper shelter from the solar. Gough’s Cave is extremely cool, not simply due to its 1000's of years’ historical past, such because the stays of the Cheddar Man, relationship from 7150BC, however as a result of the caves keep a relentless temperature of 11C. That is splendid for maturing wheels of the well-known cheddar cheese, greatest melted on toast. Perhaps a little bit warmth isn’t so dangerous in any case!

Iceland
Summer time in Iceland: epic Bond-worthy moments, and on the cool facet in each sense of the phrase. Solely in summer time are you able to climb behind huge waterfalls (Seljalandsfoss), climb underneath glaciers by ice caves and take a ship experience among the many icebergs at Jökulsárlón. The midnight solar offers limitless daylight, so you may benefit from each minute.
