I have been searching the various threads, but can't seem to find out which destinations are available for UK passengers for a weekend trip or longer....

It states on FCO that We are now allowed to fly to a long list of destinations.... Which is great and therefore travel insurance is ok...

But for many of these there are entry requirements for UK residents, so are unable to get in.

Where is the best place to find this info?

Or do we need to go into FCO site each time for each country?

I’d google each country independently for example Greece + Coronavirus as regulations are likely to change often to see what each country’s entry requirements are. Hope you have a smashing trip where ever/whenever you go

Posting of entry restrictions and some discussion has been occurring in this thread:
Covid-19 Entry restrictions repository for BA Routes *INFO ONLY Noise-Free*

Also see the following for some ideas:
Entry restrictions / reopening per country
So where are people flying this summer?

Then you will still need to check the country you are considering.

Also check the coronavirus forum.

Also you can sign up for travel advisories from the fco website, we've done this for countries we intend or have booked to visit. You get an email when the advice changes although the email doesn't itself tell you what the changes are it just provides a link back to the country page on the fco website.

One more thing to consider is that the situation remains pretty fluid (as evidenced by last night's travel warning for Spain). I wouldn't make long term plans in this environment. And even with short term plans, disruption needs to be part of the plan.

I arrived in Spain yesterday afternoon... Perfect timing...

You may be flying on BA aircraft - but the complexities of arrivals and return home rules by country is probably best placed in the main a Coronavirus forum...

Entry restrictions / reopening per country

Here I'm ignoring forms and temperature checks.

If you want an easy way to work out where you can go, and assuming you are travelling after Tuesday 28 July, for those resident in the UK it's basically the EU with these exceptions
- Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania (self isolation in UK)
- Ireland (self isolation in Ireland, but not for entry via Northern Ireland)
- Hungary (self isolation in Hungary, I've been told this is under review for UK visitors)
- Lithuania (self isolation in Lithuania). This one will change very soon, now that the UK has just fallen below the 15/100k threshold, Latvia and Estonia are on the same system and will allow entry.
- Denmark (6 day minimum stay)
- Finland (no tourism allowed for UK residents).

So France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Croatia, BeNeLux, Poland, Austria are among the big destinations OK for travel. The big non EU countries with no restrictions are Norway and Switzerland.

In addition some non EU locations allow entry but have testing régimes on entry.
- Jersey (fee free)
- Faroe Islands (fee free)
- Iceland (potential testing fee)
- Greenland (5 days self isolation, fee free)

I've found this from Wanderlust magazine pretty good as an at-a-glance guide. It's updated daily. Obviously I'd double check before booking anything, but it's a useful starting point:
