Great Holidays On Home Soil
When you mention a weekend away or vacation, you don’t have to immediately think of a distant land. Here in the UK there are so many areas you have probably never explored and have no idea of the entertainment, outdoor and holiday enjoyability they have to offer.
The mistake so many people make is they spend a fortune on a family vacation each year. Chances are Spain and France are top of the list, this is a very expensive option. But what you may not realise is you can spend less money and have a fantastic vacation experience right here in the UK. Explore areas of the country you haven’t visited before. Have you been to Scotland? Have you visited the cobbled streets of Chester? Have you seen the magnificent manor houses in Northamptonshire?

Find A Place to Go
Whenever we planned our family vacations we would automatically head somewhere sunny. While this was a fantastic option when the UK was financially stable, after the recession the air tickets, accommodation and spending for an overseas holiday wasn’t an option.
We gave it some thought and realised that we didn’t know our own country. Actually I think I knew Paris and France better than I ever knew the UK. So we started looking for short-stay apartments Northampton. We found some good options where it was self catering, saving us money and we could drive there instead of fly, an even cheaper option.
Outdoors Experiences
I love the outdoors from adventure sports to hiking and bicycling and always thought I wouldn’t find these things in the UK. I was so wrong which I found out on our holiday to Northamptonshire. After finding some short-stay apartments Northampton, we started looking at outdoor activities in the area.
Once we had arrived and settled into our self catering apartment our outdoor adventure started. There was so much to choose from right on the doorstep from hang-gliding and white river rafting to hiking and horseback riding.
I knew there were places in the UK where you could walk or cycle, these are big activities here, but I didn’t realise there were fantastic adventure sports that I love, I even got to go rally car driving. It was a phenomenal experience and one not to be forgotten.

Explore the UK
You probably wonder how I could ever consider remaining in the UK a fantastic holiday. It’s always wet and grey here, the weather is unpredictable and I’m not going to go home with a sun tan. While I may not go home from my vacation all bronzed, I guarantee I will be relaxed, I would have had an outstanding holiday doing what I love and I will be back again for more.
If you ever want to find a holiday that isn’t overly expensive, that you can reach by car within a few short hours and enjoy a host of activities, then you may want to consider staying right here in the UK.
