There are many top-quality holiday destinations around the world, but it isn’t always necessary to look abroad for the perfect holiday destination. More and more people are enjoying the benefits of staying in the UK for their annual holidays. There’s no language or currency barrier, travel is usually easier, and costs can be kept to a minimum. Holidaying abroad, though, can provide better weather, a greater range of sights, and a more unique experience.
Scenery
The UK has a lot to offer from beautiful countryside to stunning coastal vistas. However, there obviously isn’t the same range of scenery as can be experienced elsewhere around the world. Depending on how far you’re willing to travel you can visit fantastical volcanic landscapes, some of the most inhospitable terrains, and some of the best-looking spots in the world.
Destinations
There is a lot to do in the UK. Tourist attractions include holiday hotspots, amusement parks, walking trails, and adventure centers. There are also historic monuments, culturally significant venues, and something for just about every taste. Many of us, though, dreams of visiting far-off lands and experiencing some of the greatest wonders the world has to offer. Once-in-a-lifetime trips rarely take place around the corner and are more likely to occur around the other side of the globe.
Weather
The weather in the UK can be unpredictable, at best, but it is possible to find exactly the climate you’re looking for without having to pay airfare and travel abroad for business. The South of England is best for the hot weather while the Northern climes of Scotland have some of the best skiing conditions in Europe at certain times of the year. Winter sun and summer snow, though, are best enjoyed abroad, but you should expect to pay a little more for the experience.
Cost
One of the reasons that holidaying in the UK has become more popular is its low cost. Traveling down the motorway and staying in a B&B is usually cheaper than heading abroad and staying in a good hotel. However, all-inclusive and last-minute deals can help greatly reduce the cost of a foreign holiday.
