Travel bloggers on Pinterest

There are so many brilliant UK travel bloggers…

I feel like we don’t get the recognition or klout of our American friends who shout their successes from the rooftops.

So, I’m here to highlight some of the best UK travel blogs for you to plan your trip by. Let’s look at the best travel blogs, UK style. Think of this as my travel blog awards, to the best UK travel bloggers (IMO).

There are a few other lists out there, featuring the best UK travel influencers, but I’ve met almost each and every one of these British travel bloggers personally. I can totally vouch for their skills, their personalities and their outlook, AND their dedication.

This article will introduce you to some of the top UK travel blogs. Whether you’re looking for UK travel bloggers to follow, work with or keep an eye on – these are the best.

List of the best UK travel influencers

All the top UK travel bloggers are based in the UK, not necessarily from here.

So, in no particular order of best UK travel blogs, here goes…

The Top UK Travel Bloggers

Read on for the best UK travel blogs in the WORLD. Some of these UK travel bloggers would call themselves ‘influencers’, others, ‘writers’, but I like to say ‘UK travel content creators’.

1. Victoria Philpott from Vicky Flip Flop Travels

Coffee in London

That’s me!

It might look like I’m here there and everywhere but I am actually based in the UK. You know me, I blog about festivals, holidays and making the most of your time off.

I’ve recently set up a new England travel blog at Day Out in England . I hope it will become the best UK blog out there!

“Travel and festival blogger | Holidays make me happy | Love life; especially exploring, music, London + breakfast.”

top uk bloggers

 “Whether it’s travelling on a shoestring or splashing the cash to see the world, travel writer Victoria Philpott reports back on her adventures in the hope of giving her readers the confidence and knowledge to embark on their own. She’s a full time traveller now, visiting some of the world’s most interesting destinations and coolest festivals to inspire you to make the most of your annual leave.””

2. Helen Davies from Helen in Wonderlust

Best UK based bloggers

I first met Helen at a travel blogging conference in Dublin and by the end of our first drink together we had a mutual appreciation for one another. That shouldn’t sound weird if it does.

Helen used to work at Kelloggs but wasn’t responsible for the Choco Krispies / Coco Pops renaming debacle, which was my first question.

Now she runs tours in Africa with her company Rock My Adventure Tours, and lives there half of the year. Her travel blog Helen in Wonderlust, is the leading course of info on backpacking Africa. You can find out more about Helen in the podcast chat I had with her. I’ve also travelled to Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia with Helen, and most recently, went camping in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland with her.

One of the most fun travel bloggers in the UK!

“Liverpool based Travel Blogger, Mischief Maker. Loves Africa, Live Music and Adventure. Proud Auntie.”

UK travel bloggers

“Helen Davies is a an adventurer, part-time traveller and full-time Africa lover. Not one to do things by halves, Helen can usually be found on or planning an epic trip. Having spent a year in Africa, she’s keen to encourage others to explore her favourite continent. She writes about her travels (in Africa and elsewhere), and about the people she meets along the way on her blog.”


3. Paul & Karen from Global Help Swap

UK travel bloggers

Karen and Paul are brilliant.

Together with me, Jen and Alicia we form the originally Midlands consortium of UK travel bloggers. They’ve recently set up house down London way though they’re well-known for their worldwide house sitting skills.

If you want a laugh, and a good story, get some Global Help Swap in your life. I’ve been to Costa Rica with Paul on a press trip, and had an amazing time at two years of Glastonbury with them too.

“Responsible, Local and Authentic Travel. Real Travel, Real Experiences. Tips for memorable and meaningful travel.”

Uk travel bloggers

“Paul and Karen have visited over 50 countries and are certainly not tired of travelling yet. A recent trip to Mexico was a pleasant encounter with fun loving, generous Mexicans and a few cervezas. When they are not on the move, you can find them deep in a good book with a bottle of red wine close at hand.”

4. Emily Luxton from EmilyLuxton.co.uk

Emily is great fun and one of my favourite travel bloggers to travel with. She’s an excellent photographer and writer, and loves to get the most out of every trip she goes on. She’s so passionate about travel and often goes off on multi-month adventures, most recently to Central America.

Emily Luxton Travels claims she’s a shy girl who found herself travelling, but usually when I see her she’ll be making friends with a glass of wine in her hand. And I see her quite a lot as we’ve lived together for three years now. We’ve had a lot of adventures together – including paddle boarding in Hampshire, in Trentino and in Chang Mai in Thailand too.

β€œAward winning full-time travel blogger and solo traveller championing deeper travel. Blogging about adventure, food, and personal development through travel.”

“In a nutshell, my travel style is Deep Travel. That means travelling slower when possible, and travelling intelligently. My mission is to get to know the world; not just travel it all or see it all, but to try to understand it as much as possible – and have some fun doing it! I blog mainly about culture, food, art, people, and landscapes… always focusing on connecting with a new place as deeply and honestly as I can.”

5. Dan from DanFlyingSolo

top uk travel bloggers

Dan is absolutely one of my favourite travel buddies and UK bloggers. His photography is incredible and I love the videos he makes too.

Dan lives in Portugal and the UK, in between jetting off around the world. He loves a goat, an adventure, and an opportunity to try something new.

Last year we went skiing for the first time, for him, and although it didn’t go to plan, he stayed positive and did what he does best instead – took photos and made a video.

“Happiest lost with a camera | Travel photographer, writer + blogger | Flag of Portugal Immigrant | Flag of United Kingdom Born | @lonelyplanet ambassador”

best uk travel bloggers

“I’m obsessed with exploring the world, meeting amazing people (and goats) and getting as lost as possible with my camera. I was on the road for 1467 days between 2014 – 2018, taking a chance on changing my career from restaurants to capturing the world and somehow it all worked out…”

6. Jen Lowthrop from She Gets Around

Top UK travel bloggers

Me and Jen go way back, in travel blogger terms. Now she’s one of my favourite people in the UK travel blogger world – we’ve had some great times in London, Porto and Brighton at various conferences.

She’s all about the volunteering, and the dating, and is a great person to talk to to chew the fat with too.

We had a great summer trip sailing in Croatia one year, and she’s another one in the Glastonbury crew.

β€œTravel blogger on a journey to find my element, through #travel, adventure, writing, drama, food, love and community.”

UK travel bloggers

“For Jenny, there is nowhere too typical, too outrageous, too hot or too cold to travel to. From a tranquil walk around the Taj Mahal to a nine-month trek across Asia to a hectic but momentous 48-hour bus ride in Northern India, she travels for the people and the stories.

The unparalleled experiences, rare moments and genuine human connections feed her passion for exploration, which is hinged on learning cultures, eating exotic delicacies like sugar-fried crickets and living like a local wherever she goes. Jenny says she loves the world too much to let time go by without her next adventure planned.”

7. Monica Stott from The Travel Hack

Best UK Bloggers

Monica is brilliant, and one of the UK’s top travel bloggers. She’s got three beautiful children and life up in Chester somewhere and one of those French bulldog dogs that people like too.

Her top UK blog all about the stylish travel and I don’t know anyone who enjoys Twitter chats more than her. We used to work together in social media what seems like an age ago, but now we just talk a lot on Facebook Messenger instead.

She has one of the best blogs UK has to offer.

We’ve been to the Florida Keys together, to Levi in Finland and many, many UK travel blogger conferences too.

“Travel blogger with a love for adventure. Top 10 UK travel blog.”

8. Emily Ray from The Cosy Traveller

Top UK travel blogs

Isn’t she lovely hey?

Emily is a sweetheart and is enjoying her lovely life with the help of a good brew and with the presence of an animal now and then. I just went on her blog to find her social media details and for her latest post she’s photoshopped her face onto someone holding a koala. That’s just the way she rolls over on The Cosy Traveller.

Emily is definitely one of my favourite UK travel bloggers.

“Travel blogger and content writer. I blog about comfort, tea and animals all over the world.”

“Emily Ray is a London-based copywriter who seeks to make the most of weekends and her annual leave to explore everything the world has to offer. After completing her journalism studies, Emily re-launched her blog The Cosy Traveller in June 2014, which focuses on everything that makes her happy, including animals, tea and luxury.

9. Chloe Gunning from Wanderlust Chloe

Best UK travel bloggers

Chloe is great. We’ve been skiing in France together, and lived it up on St Kitts where we drank so many rum cocktails I’m pretty sure we were sick of them by the end of the week.

Anyway, her blog is awesome and she’s an ambassador for Lonely Planet and Visit England, and probably other stuff I don’t know about too. She used to work as a producer with Emma Bunton – Baby Spice!

“Travel blogger, creative producer, foodie and adventurer showing you the world. Happiest when holding a mojito! Regular Lonely Planet + Metro contributor.”

10. Macca Sherifi from An Adventurous World

Best UK travel bloggers

Macca and I used to work together too, with Monica. Oh the FUN we had. He’s a good friend, and I especially enjoy his company after we’ve both had a little drinky drinky.

Last time I went out with him he was singing McFly songs at full volume at the bar. As for being a blogger, he’s super passionate about his work, and seeing the world. His photography and video skills are amazing. He’s one of the top UK travel vloggers.

We haven’t ever actually travelled together – need to rectify that.

11. Lloyd and Yaya from Hand Luggage Only

Top UK travel bloggers

Lloyd and Yaya were crowned Vuelio’s Travel Bloggers of the Year in 2017 & 18. Meaning, they’ve actually got the highest views of any travel blogger in the UK. Their blog is AMAZING. It’s the fun and the photography that makes it so good.

They’re two of the best people I know and after our awesome weekend in Hamburg together, I just think they’re both brilliant. They deserve every success they have. Think they should probably sit down and take a rest though – travel much?

Theirs is the most popular travel blog in the UK!

“Travel & photography blog by Yaya & Lloyd | Lovers of travel | Dance ninjas extraordinaire | Will travel for cake.”

12. Jess Gibson from The Travelista

Best UK Travel Bloggers

Jess looks incredible wherever she goes and whatever she does. I love seeing what she’s wearing around the world – pretty sure her Canada trip was some of her best outfits.

Her UK blog isn’t just all about fashion though, her travel tips for England, Europe, the US and her Asian adventures will help you travel in style. Jess has just welcomed her son Theo into the world and I’m so excited to see her embrace their journeys together.

We had a great time on a Princess Cruise press trip together.

13. Shu Lin from DejaShu

top uk vloggers

I love Shu. She’s a ball of energy and fun, yet really knows her stuff when it comes to travel and food too. I’ve learned a lot from her, especially about air fryers.

Shu doesn’t actually have a blog, as she’s a YouTuber and Instagrammer but I couldn’t write a list of the best UK travel influencers without her. She’s also a BBC star with a documentary about Chinese food in England that you need to check out.

14. Abi King from Inside the Travel Lab

Best travel blogs in the UK

As one of the most well known and experienced on this list of UK based travel bloggers Abi has been featured in the likes of Grazia, Conde Nast, the BBC and Stylist Magazine. Ooo, the blogger did good. And once upon a time she was a doctor, which explains all the ‘lab’ influence. Just realised she’d be a great person to go on a press trip with, what with all that medical knowledge.

β€œTravel writer and photographer who swapped a career as a doctor for a life on the road…Exploring unusual journeys…”

Simon Heyes, what a guy. Even though he pipped me to the post to go to Papua New Guinea and be their blog ambassador, I still like him.

We’ve had some great nights out at travel events in London together and he’s very entertaining. He recently, actually I think it was a while ago now, did the 24 Peaks Challenge in 24 hours to raise money for a charity close to his heart. He’s one of my absolute favourite English travel bloggers, although I feel like I’m saying that about everyone now.

Great UK travel bloggers

Flora is one of life’s good people. She’s so lovely and travels in a way that reflects what’s important to her. I was gripped as she travelled South America, learning Spanish and meeting people as she explored. She’s now based in London and is planning on walking the Camino de Santiago this year.

As well as being one of the top British travel bloggers Flora is also an author – I’ve read the Adult Orphan Club, and although it’s super sad and I dread the day I’ll actually need to read it again, it’s a super useful resource for anyone who’s lost their parents.

“British traveller, blogger & freelance writer. Left handed Latinophile. Perpetual story searcher.”

“β€˜Flora the Explorer’ is a place for aspiring travellers, avid volunteers and those who want to explore the world through meaningful interaction with local people and their cultures.

Through the site’s stories and photographs about her long-term, slow travel experiences, Flora evokes the sense of adventure and curiosity we all have – both for the world itself, and our place within it.”

She has one of the best UK travel sites on the internet.

Charlie is one of the UK’s greenest travel bloggers. Her Zero Waste Guide has totally just made me buy some eco friendly toilet paper (50% of profits to charity!).

Jai from Savoir there

Jai! Love her. Jai was one of the first travel bloggers I became proper friends with. We were part of a Travel Chicks Collective we made up. Everything was great until we all disbanded to travel. Jai ended up meeting the love of her life on the Rocky Mountaineer and living in Canada for a few years. She’s been back in the UK for a while now and writes about stylish travel around the world.

43. Jayne from Girl Tweets World

Jayne – my travel blogger inspiration. I took over Jayne’s job from her at GapYear.com when she went freelance, and eventually went to live in Australia. She’s had some great adventures Down Under but a few years ago moved back to England to start a family and enjoy life back in the motherland. She’s a great person to follow if you want luxury travel experiences, served up with some humour.

44. Kirsty Leanne from KirstyLeanne.com

Kirsty Leanne UK travel blogger

Kirsty Leanne is on a quest to change the way travel looks. Quite rightly she’s sick of just seeing the same old looking slim white girls as the face of travel, and is determined to get the travel industry to have more of a realistic representation. I wholeheartedly support this. She works hard as a plus size travel blogger, to get others who might normally be put off to travel more. She’s also one of the most fashionable on this list!

Over the last few years he’s travelled all over the world, and his main goal is to help his readers to escape their routine as much as he can. Scott was once a finalist for one of Australia’s Best Jobs in the World, and although he didn’t win, he learned so much about content creation he went on to create his own best job in the world. 

He’s one of the best adventure bloggers in the UK.
