If you're based in the UK with nothing planned the weekend of the 23rd of June:... https://africaoye.com/
Unfortunately not in the UK, and hesitant about entering post-Brexit :/ Although anything close to Snowdonia is tempting ;) Definitely appreciate the tip!
I'm in the process of moving away for other reasons, but brexit had nearly no effect on visiting/entering the UK, so no need to worry about that.
They were never in schengen, so there were always border controls. Most of their border controls are automated, so it's super smooth.
It's wayyyyy easier than (for instance) entering the US (even as an American!)
It's not like I've never been to the UK, I went there thrice, it's just that I feel like boycotting isolationalism (is that a word?) - so as long as I have options, I stick to those countries that try to be open to the world around them. I wouldn't dream of going to the US again - thanks to (social) media and other propaganda - that country is so torn apart, and what feels like anywhere between 20%-40% of people are driven by hatred - no thank you.
