Reasons To Stay In The Uk For A Holiday In 2010

You know maybe it has taken a recession for people to realize what we have on offer for families, single travelers, and people of all ages taking a holiday in the UK. With the numbers of people going abroad far less than in previous years more and more people are discovering the wonderful attractions, history and heritage and stunning countryside on their own doorstep that cannot be found in purpose built resorts and far flung places and quite often at a fraction of the price.

The UK coastline stretches for over 7500 miles, is longer than the coastlines of France, Italy and Spain and wherever you are in the UK you are never more than 73 miles from the sea. This entire coastline gives rise to some spectacular coastal scenery such as the Jurassic Coast from East Devon to Dorset now a World Heritage Site, lively seaside resorts such as Blackpool in Lancashire, trendy resorts such as Brighton in West Sussex and even an English Riviera at Torbay in Devon renowned for its mild climate and palm trees.

Whichever country in the UK you visit be it England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland you will be amazed at the diversity and natural beauty of its landscape as well as the warmth of its people. There are 15 National Parks in the UK all designated areas of protected countryside 10 in England; Broads, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Lake District, New Forest, Northumberland, North York Moors, Peak District, South Downs and Yorkshire Dales. 3 in Wales; Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire Coast and Snowdonia. 2 in Scotland; Cairngorms, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.

Across the UK you will find an array of attractions and activities for the whole family. Ride a steam train on a heritage railway, hold on to your hat for a white knuckle ride at one of the UK’s theme and adventure parks and then let the fun continue at the many Wildlife Parks, Aquarium and Sealife Centres, Living History Museums and Historic Dockyards. Wherever you look for an activity in the UK it’s sure to be on hand from the beginner to the experienced from Surfing in Cornwall to Fly Fishing in Scotland from Mountain Biking in Wales to Golfing in Northern Ireland.

As you travel throughout the UK you are reminded of our complex and often bloody history. The many wonderful Stately Homes and Historic Castles, superb Cathedrals and Abbeys as well as the stunning ancient monuments are there to remind us and educate us of times gone by. These places are attractions in their own right and are preserved and managed by organizations such as English Heritage, Cadw and the National Trust who will often host events and even re-enactments of battles and historic moments from the past.
