The Rising Popularity Of Holidays In England

By Neil Haversham


With more and more people looking to save money, holidays in England are becoming an attractive option for many. Despite the fact that England is very small compared with most major countries in the world, there is no shortage of places to go and sites to see. The coastal areas, cities and rural areas of England have a lot to offer.

Road and rail links within the country are excellent and allow speedy journeys to be taken with ease. England is around 450 miles from north to south so excitement or stunning locations are never more than a few hours journey from each other. Many choose a touring holiday as the best way of seeing as much in one holiday as possible.

While there are several cities that gold a wealth of cultural and historical interest, the most popular by some distance is the capital, London. Currently one of the world's largest cities, the ancient Roman settlement is also home to over 2000 years of history. Despite its size, most of the tourist locations in the city are only a few miles from each other.

Manchester and Birmingham are currently England's second and third cities, having exploded in size during the industrial revolution. However, the smaller Roman cities of York, Chester and Bath have a much deeper well of history and heritage. There are several museums and locations of huge historical significance to explore.

There are vast areas of stunning countryside in the UK, many of which are protected under the National Parks system. This system protects certain areas that are considered to be of natural beauty from developers and private companies. The scheme allows millions of people access to the countryside every year.

Despite all of the recent interest in holidays all around the UK, nowhere has seen a larger increase in visitor numbers than the traditional seaside villages and towns of the English coast. Place like Blackpool, Margate and Southend have all reported increased tourist numbers in recent years. These towns offer a multitude of activities for all age ranges.
