Why Holiday in the UK this Year? by Paul Buchanan

Although the recession is gradually losing its grip, it's still a sensible idea to do what we can in order to save our pennies throughout our spending. This can be achieved in various ways, but especially by cutting down large expenses and finding a cheaper way of following through with your plans. Holidays are one such way to cut costs, and it's very easy to still grab yourself the holiday of your dreams without missing out on too much. In fact, you might even just find that heading off to a recession-proof holiday is the best idea you'll make this year.

Holidaying in the UK is a new trend that started when the recession first began to take hold. All across the UK, holidaymakers turned to British cities and towns for their destinations of choice as opposed to shelling out on expensive air fares to exotic locations. While the UK can't exactly be considered 'exotic', it certainly is as cultural and diverse as any other location in the world! Sounds doable now, doesn't it?

There's so much to choose from in the UK that, once you start doing your research on possible destinations, you could find it hard to choose where to go. Do you want to head to the bustling streets of London and experience city life at its most thrilling? Or perhaps you want to head to the Scottish capital Edinburgh to take in a marvellous city steeped in history. Or if you fancy something more relaxed, then a trip to the Welsh countryside, the Lake District or the Scottish Highlands could be right up your alley. There's just so much choice that you'll be astounded you never thought to holiday at home before. Why not visit Manchester and experience the thriving local music scene? You could also head to Nottingham and discover the world of Robin Hood - the perfect way to entertain the kids whilst on a family holiday. If the north is in your sights, the mesmerising city of York is absolutely unmissable and is rivalled by none when it comes to quaint, English streets lined with entertainment and fun.

If you're really hoping to save some money this year, UK breaks are definitely one of the best ways to protect your wallet without missing out on all of the exploration and newness you'd typically get on a holiday. Even if your heart is set on the beach, the south coasts of England in summer never fail to please - so take the plunge and try having your holiday at home this year. If nothing else, you'll at least learn just how incredible, beautiful and culturally diverse the UK truly is.
