My partner and I have 4 days available in late October and want to visit somewhere special and peaceful for an important day. This day is the last day of the break. We'd like to be somewhere on that day that is near the sea or ocean (for at least an hour or 2 anyway), and then travel back to London later that day/evening. We'd prefer it if the destination wasn't more than about 2 hours travel away from London (air, longer ok for or other means of transport). And preferably not anywhere too expensive to get to! We'd like to use the earlier days of the break to do some sightseeing around the destination and make best use of our holiday time. We are from Australia and haven't been in the UK long so would like to see somewhere new in the UK or Europe. Any thoughts or experiences you've had that you think were great??? We're in our early 30s, so happy to do fairly active stuff the earlier days, just the last day needs to be peaceful/low key (and near water!).

Geneva is less than 2 hours and lovely for a short break. A really nice clean place to chill out for a few days.

How about the Isle of Arran? Lots of sea, beaches, mountians, whisky, good food. Get to it via boat & train from Glasgow airport/ Prestwick airport. It is know as Scotland in miniature and i can agree entirely - caters for variety of £'s all over the island.

Try Aldeburgh in suffolk, its a beautiful seaside town, quite close to Ipswich, Aldeburgh itself is a really lovely peaceful place, there is lots to do and see in the area. Including Sutton Hoo and lots of country houses. Enjoy.

i advice you to come to Syria, and go to Lattakia, you coul denjoy your time there in this time of the year,
you can arrange visit to citadel ( Salah eldine ) and mountains very wonderfull, you will be near the sea during your stay, then you can fly to london via Daamscus, i think it is not much expensive.. you can ask my travel agency if you like
regards... and season greating to you
