- MINI discovers the UK’s best wild wonders to help MINI Countryman owners adventure this summer.
- Top 10 revealed with Uyea in Shetland, Scotland, the number one wildest location.
- Interactive map showcases over 100 hidden gems across the UK https://www.mini.co.uk/en_GB/home/mini-news/big-days-out-index.html.
MINI UK has revealed the UK’s top ten wildest beauty locations,
helping MINI Countryman owners beat the busiest spots for an off the
beaten track adventure this summer.
From waterways to peaks and underground caves, over 100
nature-based locations across Britain were identified and judged
against two sets of criteria to measure both popularity[1] and wildness[2]. The average of these
scores then determined the best, undiscovered and wild hidden gems of 2021.
Taking the number one spot is Uyea in Shetland, Scotland, an
uninhabited island which lies off the Northmavine peninsula and is
only accessible at low tide. There are several natural arches along
its rocky coastline and challenging rock climbs, making it the perfect
destination for the avid adventurer.
Here are the top ten ranked ‘wild wonder’ destinations;
Rank | Location | County | Country |
1 | Uyea | Shetland | Scotland |
2 | Llyn Dinas | Gwynedd | Wales |
3 | Binevenagh | County Londonderry | Northern Ireland |
4 | Gaping Gill | North Yorkshire | England |
5 | Whiteless Pike | Cumbria | England |
6 | Llyn Glaslyn | Gwynedd | Wales |
7 | Pedn Vounder Beach | Cornwall | England |
8 | Sgwd Yr Eira | Powys | Wales |
9 | The Roaches | Staffordshire | England |
10 | Fingal's Cave | Inverness-shire | Scotland |
The MINI Countryman SUV is the ideal companion for a wild,
go-anywhere adventure, offering the perfect balance of space and
versatility. It has plenty of room on the inside to pack everything
owners need to explore the great outdoors, plus the roof rack means
bringing along bikes, surfboards or extra luggage is made easy.
