The UK isn’t generally the first place most people think of when it comes to a summer holiday. But Britain’s beaches can be just as alluring as many in Europe, while our cities, like the metropolitan London or Scotland’s historic Edinburgh offer endless opportunity for holidays and weekend breaks, and here within the cities, miles and miles of beautiful green terrain and vast poetic vistas of our beaches it’s easy to find the perfect destinations for holidays, short breaks and adventure trips.

A quick visit to the UK Holiday Destinations website opens your eyes to the bewildering amount on offer in the United Kingdom. Whether you preference lies with a weekend break in the big city, a walking holiday in the hills of Scotland or a relaxing week on the English Riviera, you’ll find the right package and tour operators to make your trip a memorable one.

It’s easy to take the UK for granted of course when living here - but if you live in the city then why not escape to the countryside to savour in the crisp clean air where for miles you can appreciate vast hills filled with wildlife or if you’re in the mood for a city break then why not try London for a West End show and a visit to the museums, or Edinburgh to explore the historic streets and castle?

No matter what your preference, the UK has a lot to offer and with four countries to visit - there really is something for everyone. If you’re not into flying, or don’t fancy the long travel times of a trip overseas then a UK holiday is perfect. A short trip into Cornwall or Devon offers up beautiful green scenery, miles of coastline and hundreds of little villages and towns all waiting to be explored.

For adventure travel tours why not travel up to Scotland on the overnight train and explore the ancient underground tunnels under the city or take in the awe inspiring view of the castle looming over the city. There are more than enough tour operators offering an abundance of tours too, take a quiet break in the countryside, a sea side holiday around the coasts or a cultural holiday exploring the cities and towns dotted around the Kingdom.
