With the pandemic’s red tape finally loosening its grip on the airline industry, holidays abroad are set to rise compared to last year’s low numbers.
The good news for those looking to join the ranks of holiday goers this year is that with us you can still get travel insurance with a medical condition, meaning your medical condition won’t hold you back, even if the airport queues might.
But for those who are still not ready to make the leap – or the flight – to another country and are looking for a holiday a little closer to home, we’ve picked three top staycations in the UK to inspire your next holiday.
Rest and respite on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast
It’s easy to see why the Jurassic Coast is England’s first natural UNESCO world heritage site. Replete with stunning beaches, rock formations, and caves, this coastline leaves little to be desired when it comes to natural beauty.
It’s the perfect place to simply unwind and relax among some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery. But for the more adventurous types, there are countless hikes and boat rides offering up picturesque views of Kimmeridge Bay, Durdle Door and Old Harry Rocks.
If you like a little nightlife mixed in with your daytime activities, then Dorset’s seaside resorts of Lyme Regis and Weymouth offer up everything from bars and restaurants to theatres and fairground rides.
Lounge at the Lake District
The UK’s largest national park and a place of sprawling natural splendour, the Lake District is perhaps the country’s most polished gem when it comes to untouched wilderness.
Vacationers here will be treated to such natural attractions as the 5,000-year-old Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Aira Force Waterfall, and the famed Lake Windermere.
There are trails and walks aplenty in the Lake District and for people looking to view the district’s splendour from an elevated position, there are four mountains to be conquered that stretch over 3,000 feet high.
With a range of fine cuisine on offer from upmarket restaurants to country pubs, the Lake District has a lot on the menu whatever your tastes are.
Ramble on the Isle of Arran
Nestled off the west coast of Scotland, the Isle of Arran provides a picturesque backdrop of beaches, caves, and mountains.
This charming island is perfect for a tranquil break for rest and recuperation or for a holiday packed with adventurous activities.
Well known for its fine whiskey, the Isle of Arran has lots of fascinating distillery tours on offer as well as hiking tours.
If you’re looking to get your heart rate up a few beats per minute, the island has plenty of caving expeditions, abseiling, and rock climbing available.
