What could be more calming than burying your nose in a book next to the water? Plan a visit to Hunstanton Beach or Skegness Beach for a magnificent day out.

After some gripping soccer action? Then see the Leicester City F.C. fight it out with the opposition on their home ground of Walkers Stadium, which is 20 kilometres away in United Kingdom.
Expand your horizons and see what's going on in Oakham, 8 kilometres to the east. Plenty of visitors come here for Oakham Castle and the Barnsdale Gardens. Alternatively, Melton Mowbray is 9 kilometres to the north of Somerby. Stop at this locality for convenient access to the Melton Theatre and the Stapleford Park Golf Course.
Corby, 25 kilometres to the southeast, is a great day trip. You can use it as a port of call when stopping by Rockingham Castle, the Rockingham Motor Speedway and International Swimming Pool. If you need more convincing, other nearby attractions include Corby Boating Lake and the Corby Heritage Centre.
Whether you prefer the sophistication of Michelin stars or nibbling on a snack from a street cart, sampling the local food and drink is maybe the best thing about travel. So why not treat your taste buds by tucking into some of the area's decadent offerings?
Fish and lamb are some popular ingredients in many dishes here. If you don't have a love for them already, you will by the end of your journey!
There's no need to agonise over the restaurant menu when you're in Somerby. Get stuck right in and sample the local specialties, such as bangers and mash (sausages with mashed potatoes) and ploughman’s lunch (cheese, bread, pickles and cold cuts).
'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts', and that's not just a coincidence. There's no more scrumptious way to let your cares melt away than with spotted dick (sponge pudding of dried fruits with custard), a treat that's often found on dining tables here.
Is there anything more satisfying than tossing back an icy glass of beer with a frothy, white head? Quench your thirst and mingle with a few locals over a round or two of Yorkshire Bitter.
Looking for something a bit more potent? You can't go past Bombay Saphire Gin. Ask your barkeeper if it's tasty in any cocktails and mixed drinks. If that fails, pick up your shot glass and drink it neat!
Whether you're a wine connoisseur or you struggle to get the cork out of a bottle, you're sure to love a glass or two of the local Denbies Pinot Gris or Chapel Down Chardonnay.
