Remote hostels
Sometimes, the
most beautiful places to stay in England, Scotland and Wales can also be the most affordable. Youth hostels in some of the UK's most remote locations are fantastic places to get right back to nature – perfectly placed for hikers, climbers, mountain-bikers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. And just because wilderness hostels are right off the beaten track, doesn't mean they don't have all the facilities you need for a great adventure – from drying rooms and self-catering kitchens to bars, meals, wifi, bike rental and more. Check out our guide to the UK's most remote hostels before you strike off into the wild – there are some real gems waiting to be discovered in the wildest corners of the UK, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.
