The United Kingdom is home to a diverse collection of holidays. Because of this, the UK is an excellent destination for various holiday celebrations, as business development professional Fahim Imam-Sadeque explains.
From the busy city of London to the rugged Cornwall coast to the Highlands of Scotland, there's something for everyone during the holidays in the UK. People looking to add variety and richness to their holiday traditions should consider stopovers and sightseeing trips throughout the UK.
Here are some of the best choices.
North York Moors
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, get out to the countryside in the North York Moors. The national park is a great destination for families looking for something different from everyday life.
Here, you can find dramatic coastlines, vibrant landscapes and wooded valleys. Whitby is a seaside town in the region that's a can't-miss stopover.
The town is home to the Abbey ruins, the Dracula Experience and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. You can also make a stop at its sandy beach, which provides plenty of opportunities for watersports, depending on the time of year.
Cornwall
If your family loves the water, then Cornwall is an excellent option for you. The sandy beaches, picturesque harbours and wild coasts blend perfectly with the sub-tropical weather here.
The Atlantic coast town of Newquay is a popular destination because it's home to five sandy beaches and great for relaxing and swimming. There is also an aquarium and zoo for family-friendly adventures and a railway that you can ride to see the beautiful scenery of the region.
If you want a more quiet experience in Cornwall, head to one of the many fishing villages such as Penzance, St. Ives and Perranporth.
Paignton
If you are looking for a nice combination of countryside and coastline, then head to Paignton in Devon. The Compton Castle is located here, as is the Dartmouth Steam Railway and Broadsands Beach.
If you're looking to have your children burn energy during the day so you can enjoy the nights, you can head to Geo Play Park. While the children are the focus of that spot, the parents are sure to have fun as well.
Families who want to take a nice boat trip or browse unique shops can visit towns in the region such as Dartmouth, Brixham or Torquay.
London
London is a bustling city, but it's also a great escape for families on holiday. You can immerse your entire family in culture in the big city of London.
They can learn about the Natural World at The Natural History Museum, ride on a boat down the River Thames or even see a show at a local theatre. They can take in the beautiful views of the city from atop the London Eye.
They can even get a unique experience at Madame Tussauds wax museum. There's something for everyone in London, so don't scratch it off your holiday list so quickly.
Cotswolds
The picturesque Cotswolds are what many families dream of doing during their holidays, and for good reason. Fahim Imam-Sadeque says families looking to see beautiful landscapes with rolling hills and colourful gardens will love the Cotswolds.
There's also plenty of shops in cute villages and towns, as well as a nature reserve where you can see the surroundings in all their untouched beauty.
Families who have an adventurous side can visit the Cotswold Water Park for some good old-fashioned fun.
