Julia said: “I have been lucky enough to walk in some of the UK’s most remarkable places, so I’ve selected some of my favourite spots that combine the most stunning views with safe spaces to BBQ so you can enjoy everything the British countryside has to offer.”
“Narrowing it down to just 10 locations was really hard work, but I hope we have selected something for everyone. Whether you are the type of ‘BBQ Explorer’ who would enjoy the beautiful countryside, enchanting forest, or peaceful valley, I hope we have found the perfect spot for you.”
In the last 12 months Weber has seen a sharp rise in outdoor cooking, with more than half of people saying they improved their grill skills, with 48% now enjoying a weekly barbecue.

"Our new Traveler portable gas barbecue is the perfect companion for delicious tasting food wherever you are, and wherever you’re planning to go.”
Craigtoun is dog-friendly but keep pets under control at all times.
