Holidays in Britain - Regions
Southwest
It’s no surprise that Cornwall – the most Westerly County in England – tops the charts as the most popular and iconic holiday destination in the UK. On this long spit of ancient moorland, bathed by friendly warm breezes and jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, you’re never more than sixteen miles from the sea.

It was the original Celtic tribes of the Iberian Peninsula and France who migrated across the Atlantic Sea and settled in Pembrokeshire. Reminders of their early habitation can be found along the coastline which is dotted with Cromlechs, standing stones and circles. Even the famous bluestones at Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain have their roots in this magical place having been transported there from the Preseli Mountains in north Pembrokeshire. This, then, is a place that is steeped in history and has more than its fair share of natural beauty too.

North
If you’ve never contemplated a holiday in or even travelled north to Yorkshire you’re missing out on one of the most glorious and unspoilt parts of the crowded British Isles. This great swathe of the north of England encompasses three National Parks covering between them more than 1000 square miles of stunning and varied scenery just waiting to be explored. The National Parks of the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors and Peak District each have their own characteristics but all share big, big skies and sweeping vistas.

Cumbria and The Lake District
Cumbria and the Lake District have, many believe, the greatest outdoors in the whole of England. The highest mountains, 16 crystal clear lakes, deeply wooded forests, heather moorland, deep sheltered valleys, and the sea to the west contribute to this viewpoint. No wonder, then, that the region has always attracted generations of famous visitors, particularly, writers and poets such as Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth.

Scotland
Scotland’s capital city has been called many different names over the centuries, not all of them flattering. Some know it as ‘Auld Reekie’ (Scots for Old Smoky) because the buildings were heated with coal and wood fires which sent columns of thick smoke into the atmosphere. Kinder names include the ‘Athens of the North’ and ‘Empress of the North’. But perhaps the best description comes from writer, Robert Louis Stevenson who was born in the city and said: “It is what Paris ought to be”. If this is a creating a somewhat confusing impression then why not visit and find out yourself which description best fits the place.

Southern Ireland - Eire
How can one begin to describe Southern Ireland? Most people think of Eire as a gentle place of rolling green hills and soft rain, famed for its world class golf courses, its fishing and its Guinness, populated by a warm and generous people, happy to welcome visitors. And they’re right; Eire is that, but that’s only the half of it.
