Enjoy a cheap break in the UK
Are you desperate for a break but don’t feel as if you can afford it? Have you run out of holiday time at work to take a week off?
If that sounds like you then you’ll be pleased to know that even spending just a couple of days away from home can recharge your batteries and leave you feeling ready for anything. People tend to be so intent on booking holidays abroad that they forget just how much Britain has to offer us in the way of sights and scenery, and it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money either.
For example you could visit somewhere in the countryside that offers fresh air, wonderful scenery and plenty of walks to go on. You’d only have to pay for your accommodation and food – and perhaps a new pair of walking boots.
But having a break doesn’t need to involve heading into the countryside. You could go into one of Britain’s most vibrant cities to see what is on offer – and there are certainly plenty of cities which match that description. Think of Bath, London and Edinburgh to name just three, and you will get an idea of how many diverse and lively cities there are to choose from.
Have a think about the type of activities you would like to do before you choose your destination. This will enable you to find somewhere that matches up most closely to your ideal weekend break away.
Many cities also have a lot of free activities that you can enjoy as well. When you have decided where you want to go, do a search on the internet for tourist attractions that meet this description. For example, if you were to visit London for the weekend you will find plenty of museums which are free to enter, as well as all the open spaces and parks that offer a different side of London to the hustle and bustle of the busy main streets.
It’s also a good idea to look for good reliable accommodation. If you travel early on a Saturday and come home late on Sunday you can enjoy almost two full days away from home and only pay for one night away, which is undoubtedly the best way to make the most of an active weekend while keeping the cost down as well.
Alternatively you could find a location that is cheap enough to allow you to stay for two nights. For example if you are visiting London then you will find plenty of budget London hotels to choose from.
As you can see it’s easier than you think to have a break on a budget – you just need to know how to go about it.
