Where to go on a digital detox in Britain? While it\u2019s difficult to detach yourself from a phone at the best of times, travelling to a new destination can be the perfect excuse to step away from digital devices and your daily routine. Whether you\u2019re ticking off bucket-list sights<\/a> or marvelling at Britain\u2019s breathtaking scenery, your next trip could be an excellent opportunity to take a break from your mobile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immersing yourself in a fascinating experience or absorbing the magic of a fantastic landscape can distract you from your usual tech habits. Perhaps you\u2019re planning a digital detox and want to organise a sightseeing trip somewhere in the UK you\u2019ve never been before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, this article might encourage you to book an unforgettable tour<\/a> and inspire your plan to detox for a day, a week, or even longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge yourself to a digital break<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an age where your phone might be permanently attached to you, it can be hugely beneficial to challenge yourself to take a break. Like most people, you might admit to spending too many digital hours on a smartphone or similar, either at work or in your spare time. If so, you\u2019re in good company with the average adult in the UK spending over four hours daily on their phone and approximately 76% of their waking hours online<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, when you travel, mobile usage and digital engagement can increase as you navigate unfamiliar places, research an area\u2019s best restaurants, and read reviews about the top attractions. With so much time spent on your screens and Keywords Everywhere reporting searches tripling<\/a> in the last year for the term \u2018digital detox\u2019, holidays seem a great chance to unplug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s something wonderfully liberating about switching off completely when you have to. Planning this to coincide with your travels might be easier if you\u2019re on an exciting city break and trying something adrenaline-pumping, such as go-karting in Brighton<\/a> or opting for a more delectable experience like cream tea in the Cotswolds<\/a>. While you might want to share photos of all the great places you see and experiences you enjoy, try to be disciplined, turn off your phone and immerse yourself in the new experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
