As someone who applied to mathematics and physics graduate schools (and am now pursuing a PhD in mathematical physics) it’s pretty key to have /some/ research experience, just so schools know that you really want to pursue a PhD and know what it entails. If you don’t know what schools have what kind fo research, just start googling the physics departments of different universities, and looking at their research page. You can also look up papers on your interest in the arxiv, and see where the authors/collaborators work.

If I were you, I’d probably do an MSci and get research experience before applying for a PhD.
