You don’t have to cross the Channel to get a refreshing change of
scenery. For a small island, it would seem that we are surprisingly
well equipped when it comes to quality and variety in terms of
domestic holiday destinations. Here’s a closer look at a few
favourites:
1. There are many different reasons
to embark upon a day trip to Peterborough. Many are tempted by the
fabulous high street shopping opportunities, featuring some of
Britain’s best loved department stores as well as many bespoke,
one-off boutiques dealing in everything from high fashion to antique
furniture. Peterborough is also a great place to base yourself for a
couple of days or more if you are interested in exploring the Fens -
one of Britain’s most beautiful countryside areas.
2. For a family daytrip that may be
as educational as it is enjoyable, why not pay a visit to Chatsworth
House in Derbyshire? This fabulous old property, run by the well
loved Duchess of Devonshire, author of many successful
autobiographical novels, is a gem to be discovered in the Derbyshire
countryside. The gardens are stunning, the house itself is a
beautifully preserved relic of a time gone by and throughout the
summer months there are a variety of wholesome family orientated
events all hosted within the extensive grounds. Don’t miss out on
the new kitchen garden shop, where you can stock up on traditional
English treats, pantry preserves and snacks.
3. Devon is a destination favoured
by fans of the caravan holiday. For those on a tight budget, caravan
trips are an excellent way to get value for money as
cheap caravan holidays
are to be found in many of Britain’s best loved holiday
destinations. Look out for those offered by
Park Resorts. Base
yourself in Dartmoor for excellent walking opportunities or along
the English Riviera for some fresh coastal air. |
