Go on Holiday to the South of England


Finding ideas for local UK holidays is not an easy task. If anyone reading this is not from the UK it is hard to understand how bad our weather really is! We don't have a summer and our winter's seem to last for an eternity. So what to do for a holiday if you can't afford to go outside the country? Well, I found a brilliant website the other day (which I have included at the bottom of the article) that is a great source of holiday and activity ideas in the UK.

The South East of England is a great destination spot for people who really like the country side. However it also offers far more than that. My partner and I had a great weekend in June going on the "Wine Trail" which features many different vineyards from all over the South coast of England including the Wickham Vineyard in Hampshire which supplies wines to the House of Commons. On our guided tour we were treated to some incredible gourmet dinners with some fantastic wine to accompany it. I was so impressed by the beautiful country side and I really don't know that such a nice place existed in England! I live in the midlands but always wished I could live somewhere near the sea. Somewhere which is a bit more interesting for me and my family. After visiting the South coast for a week I can't get enough of it!

Many people from the UK retreat down to the South as there are also some exquisite beaches. West Wittering is a lovely, sandy beach on the South coast of England that plays host to thousands of holiday makers every year. Additionally getting around the South of England is very easy and fast. There are plenty of sights to see which are all relatively close to each other. There is some very historical culture and timeless heritage in a tiny town called, Arundel on the South coast which is an absolutely incredible destination to learn all about English history and culture.

Of course these places would be so much more enjoyable in the sun however if you wanted to get away to the beach or experience England in a slightly different light then do make your way down to the South and there is some incredible stuff to look at! Plus the most important thing is that it is cheap and nowhere near as expensive as trip abroad!
