Due to the current economical climate, more and more people are looking to stay in the UK for their holidays.
Commonly referred to as a Staycation, spending your hard earned and anticipated annual leave on home soil prevents the need to depend on the plane or boat travel, which are often fraught with problems such of delays and cancellations.
These issues are more easily dealt with if travelling with a companion, but if travelling alone they can be very stressful and make the traveller feel very isolated and lonely.
So before you rush out there and join a UK dating website, you might instead explore such beautiful landscapes as the Cotswolds, within a short car drive from the major urban areas of Oxford, Bristol and the West Midlands. The Cotswolds are also easily accessible from London, just a short drive along the M4.
Here you may combine idling around the many picturesque villages, along with marvelling at then wealth of historical attractions to be found in nearby Oxford, Cheltenham and Bath. If you are touring alone in your own car, this can all be done purely at your own speed and leisure.
The point is, staying in the UK is definitely not a compromise, when you consider the diversity and beauty of this relatively small island's landscape.
