More and more people are opting to take UK holidays, as staying at home becomes increasingly common.
Fears of a double dip recession, as well as exceptionally bad foreign currency rates mean normal, hard-working families are opting to explore the United Kingdom, rather than splash out on a trip overseas.
If you are planning on having a "staycation" this year in the UK, check out our favourite short breaks in the UK.
1) Cornwall With 140 beaches, the county of Cornwall attracts visitors from all over the country due to its stunning coastline and landscape. One of the most popular attractions in the far south-west corner of England currently is the Eden Project, a massive indoor rainforest, garden and wildlife exhibition.
2) Wales Resorts across the north and south Wales coast are well-known for their caravan parks. The west of the country is a more scenic offering, with the mountains of Snowdonia in easy reach of many parts of the country. If walking and climbing isn't for you, holidaying on a budget can be achieved at resorts such as Rhyl or Prestatyn, while the capital Cardiff is a mecca for its shopping and nightlife.
3) Dorset Situated on the south coast on England, Dorset is in a great location for getting out and exploring the surrounding areas. The large town of Bournemouth offers a mix of shopping and restaurants with a glorious seven-mile sandy beach, which is extremely popular in the summertime! Other attractions include Monkey World which is bound to be a hit with the younger crowd.
4) Scotland Whether you stay in one of the caravan sites dotted around Scotland, or feel like a B&B is more up your street, exploring the dramatic landscape of the highlands in a must-do. Pass the big cities near the south of the country and miles upon miles of countryside, rolling hills and mountainous terrain opens up for your enjoyment. Scotland is also the home of golf, a great relaxing pastime for both beginners and pros.
5) Norfolk Sites such as the Norfolk Broads attract visitors throughout the year, from both wildlife enthusiasts to water sport lovers. The flat countryside of East Anglia is an interesting contrast to other, slightly hillier destinations, and the east coast beaches are long and sandy. Both Great Yarmouth and Norwich should be visited when you want to step away from the more rural parts of the county
