Camping…
Coast around the coast of Britain
Ever felt the need to jump in your car and drive away from it all? Most of us have, but the thing is if you take a moment to attach your touring caravan you can do just that, with all the comforts of home at your fingertips! What’s not to like? Most caravans are used for only a few weeks of the year – far less than the average car, but what a few weeks!
I’m not going to let you get away though without proper insurance behind you. You’ll need to get a fair number of caravan insurance quotes to sift through first. Yes, you’ve got to attend to the business side, before the pleasure seeps in! If you look carefully online you should try and find a company with over forty years of experience in providing quality cover and which will offer up to 65% off your previous premium. Can’t be bad. You should be offered a 10% discount for tilt alarm and a 5% discount, if you agree to complete a caravanning course. Other discounts to look for might be for agreeing to choose a voluntary excess.

Glamping … it’s another world!
I’ve never seen a tent with double glazing. However, I HAVE stayed in a hotel and felt I was sleeping in the middle of a field! Personal choice would dictate that you either like the great outdoors or you enjoy the reliable temperatures of a hotel.
However with a new product called the “Camping Snug” you can possibly have the best of both worlds! It’s a wooden building which can be erected anywhere and it does have double glazed windows. When you realise that it has to be carried to the field by a forklift truck though, the attraction diminishes. [Read More...]

Walking Holidays
Walking holidays have long been a popular choice in terms of domestic tourism. Long before the possibility of international tourism came into being, families and groups of friends were embarking on walking expeditions up and down the country in order to see more of our green and luscious land, which boasts surprising geographic and geological variation considering its size.
Nowadays, the walking holiday can take many different forms and, if you are itching to experience a different part of the English countryside for yourself, there is sure to be one to suit your holiday needs perfectly. We’ve compiled a quick list of some of our favourites:
1. For those who really want to get to grips with the great outdoors, there can be nothing better than a camping holiday. Britain is well equipped with a range of different kinds of camp sites, some owned by large holiday making companies and others more intimate family run establishments. A good campsite will not only be able to provide you with a safe and pleasant environment in which to sleep, they should also be able to set you on your walking way with a variety of maps and route guides at your disposal.
2. A small step up from sleeping in a tent is to hire a caravan for the duration of your break. Caravan holidays are easy to plan and book through caravan holiday websites such as Park Resorts who provide well equipped caravan sites across the country.
3. For those who prefer to retire in style after a long day’s hiking in the countryside, Pembrokeshire and other scenic areas of England are certainly not short of high class hotels where a range of services are likely to be on offer to ensure that your every need is met. Some hotels provide picnic packing services, setting you off on your way with plenty of delicious sustenance for the day. Others provide breakfast and dinner packages, serving up top notch grub perfect after a day-long hike. And some will even help your tired muscles recover with spa and sauna facilities.

Five of London’s Best Free Attractions
Coming to London? If you decide to splash out on a nice hotel, you might be looking to make savings on the rest of the trip. Don’t worry – it’s perfectly possible, as London is home to many free attractions. Visit milleniumhotels.co.uk for some classy Kensington hotels & read on for our top five free attractions…
If you’re staying in one of the many fine Kensington hotels, the good news is you’re already ahead of the game in terms of saving money on days out. No less than three of the world’s top museum’s are located in this part of the city. Chief among them has to be the V&A, which houses the world’s largest collection of decorative arts.
Just down the road is The Natural History Museum. Like the V & A, it owes its existence to the curiosity boom of the Victorian era, a post-enlightenment period of collecting and cataloguing nature. And taxonomy doesn’t get any more thrilling than this. A diplodocus skeleton guards the entrance, with other dino highlights including a huge T-Rex replica model. Elsewhere, the Darwin Centre is home to half a million jars of pickled specimens. All housed in an indomitable Gothic Revival building, the Natural History Museum is a fantastic, free day out for all ages. [Read More...]
