NORTHERN SCOTLAND AND THE ORKNEYS The Celtic fringe of northern Scotland provides some of the best waves in Europe. The water is as clear as the Mediterranean and locals regularly surf with seals and dolphins. In summer, daylight lingers for hours while the Northern Lights are an eerie visitor to the skyline in winter. Deserted sandy beaches stretch out in the shadow of spectacular Neolithic monuments and stone circles. The reef at Thurso produces barrels to rival those of Indonesia while, to the west, the waves at quiet Strathy, Melvich and Torrisdale are as good as any Cornish beachbreak. Sleeping: Royal Hotel, Trail Street, Thurso. Tel: [phone]. Eating: Le Bistro, Trail Street, Thurso. Surf directory: Thurso Surf School. Tel: [phone].

NORTHUMBRIA An excellent autumn and spring location where haunting ruins of Gothic castles and monasteries hark back to a time of Nordic invaders and border skirmishes. Today, the avid boarder can surf the North Sea at its most pristine, with miles of sand dunes broken by salmon-filled rivers emptying into sweeping bays. At low tide, you can cross the causeway and surf the magical island of Lindisfarne (or Holy Island). To the south, the impressive beaches of Bamburgh, Embleton, Alnmouth and Druridge have miles of stunning wave-riding potential. Sleeping: 18th-century B&B The Grange, Northumberland Street, Alnmouth. Tel: [phone]. Eating: Chilli's, Bondgate Within, Alnwick. Good ol'-fashioned Tex-Mex.

YORKSHIRE More famous for its barrels of bitter than its barrelling reef breaks, Yorkshire is home to a number of world-class waves. Whitby is overlooked by the abbey that inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. Huge swells roll out of the Arctic Circle to bombard the shore here and nearby surfing beaches of Scarborough and Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Sleeping: Shepherd's Purse, Church Street, Whitby. Comfy, quirky, courtyard rooms. Tel: [phone].

Eating: Magpie Café, Pier Road, Whitby. Best fish and chips in the North-East. Surf directory: Zero Gravity Surf Shop, Flowergate, Whitby. Tel: [phone].

WALES Although South Wales has a proud tradition as the engine room of the Welsh economy, it has also spawned many world-class surfers. Local clans gather in Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire to charge the Atlantic breakers with true Celtic grit, a scene also played out on the beaches of Llangennith and Langland on the Gower Peninsula. Sleeping: Langland Cove Guest House, Rotherslade Road, Mumbles. Tel: [phone]. Run by legendary surfboard shaper, surf photographer and storyteller Paul Gill. Eating: Castellamare, Bracelet Bay, Mumbles. Pizzeria with sea views. Surf directory: PJ's Surf Shop, Llangennith or Welsh Surfing Federation Surf School, Tel: [phone].

ISLE OF WIGHT Better known for sailing than surfing, the Isle of Wight is emerging as a popular destination. The exploits of local wave-riders and the White Air Extreme Sports Festival highlight the potential of this island. On winter days when Atlantic swells march along the channel (turning ferry passengers green), you can bet IOW boarders are scoring some excellent waves at Freshwater Bay and Shanklin. Sleeping: Sandpipers Hotel, Coastguard Lane, IOW. Tel: [phone]. Eating: Award-winning pub grub at the Red Lion, Church Place, Freshwater.

Surf directory: Wight Water Adventure Water Sports, Shanklin. Tel: [phone].
