Ready to try something new for your next holiday or trip away? Finding unique ways to travel and explore either the UK or the wider world can open up a world of new experiences and allow you to experience something you don’t get from booking run-of-the-mill all-inclusive or staycation holiday options.
Now, of course, not all expenses are for everyone, and only you will know what is going to work for you, but if you are looking for ideas to help you get the most from your next trip abroad, then there are some options you might want to explore.
Cycling Holiday
Cycling holidays are a thrilling way for bike enthusiasts to combine their love of riding and travelling. All you need to do is find a cycling holiday provider, choose your destination, and hit the road. Typically, they will have predetermined cycling routes, book accommodation, and provide extras like breakfast. You can opt for guided or self-guided rides to each destination on the tour. These holidays can be a week or two weeks long, and you can travel solo or as part of a group, both in the UK and across the world. But if you’re seeking a completely different perspective on the world, then a cycling holiday could be just the adventure you’re looking for.
Motorhome
Yearning for the freedom to set your own rules and go where you want, when you want, without the hassle of packing and unpacking? A motorhome holiday could be your ticket to liberation. Living in your vehicle and charting your own course across the country or Europe, for instance, allows you to dictate the destination and the route without fretting about check-in and check-out times, restroom breaks, or public transport schedules. You spend an evening in one place, ready to move on the next day. Simply book a motorhome rental, familiarise yourself with the T&Cs before you set off, and learn the ropes of operating the motorhome, including the toilet. Then, revel in the freedom to explore at your own pace.
Canal Trip
The UK has an expansive canal network, and this type of holiday is becoming more modern and popular thanks to its slow, laid-back way of life and its integration into nature. Not only is there a thriving longboat holidaying community, but more people are also choosing to live this lifestyle over traditional housing. In fact, the number of people who call Britain’s waterways home has risen by a third in the past two decades. So if a slower-paced trip is up your sleeve or you want to take some item in nature but camping isn’t for you, then why not travel the UK canal network and immerse yourself in everything this scenic method of travel can offer?
If you are looking for something other than the usual cottage by the seas or glamping in a rural, natural location, these choices allow you to see the best of the country from a completely different standpoint, so you can get everything you want and need from your next trip away.
