Hello and welcome to 52 Weekends

This is where we share news, special offers and inspirational ideas for great escapes all around Britain based on our book 52 Weekends by the Sea, which has received fantastic reviews in national and local media.

Sometimes you find yourself with a wealth of information that comes in useful. That’s what happened with 52 Weekends by the Sea.

The idea is simple: in the book we’ve created 52 weekends that deliver a flavour of our shores. Along with great adventures and people to meet, we’ve included special places to eat, drink and sleep too, all carefully handpicked from our own experience.

Most importantly, nobody has paid to be included. It’s who they are, what they are, and where they are that makes them all special.

Some are simple affairs in extraordinary locations; others are offbeat, quirky and imaginative. Some are cheap and cheerful; others are treats well worth saving up for.

And you’ll be pleased to hear that we didn’t request or accept freebies either, our research has been built up over many years and we like to pay our way.

If you’d like to know more about the way we work to create the 52 series, please dip into the Authors page where you’ll find a link to our blogs or follow us on Twitter.

And if you desire stunning images from the book in your home or workplace, visit the Special Offers page for print sales of Craig’s outstanding and international award winning photography.
