Having a holiday doesn’t mean being a recluse, you can have a nice peaceful getaway just by choosing a nice location. There are still many places available throughout the UK that will have you feeling relaxed and happy. My suggestion would be to try to forget about the material things that most people worship these days. People cannot seem to leave the house without their phone or some other device that connects them up to the internet. I say, leave all that behind and just have yourself a good time! So get yourself out of the city, get yourself to a nice rural area. The countryside is where the fresh oxygen and peace are at.

I’ve actually come across some great recommendations. Now, camping is an art that makes you almost one with nature, you’ll want to be able to sleep in a lovely outdoor environment, have the wonderful smell of grass in the vicinity. Camping is something that not everyone finds enjoyable, but there are different ways to doing it. You can go the basic route, take only the tent, and of course a kettle, and then your on your own, Or you can take a more advanced camping opportunity by taking a bit more technology and luxuries. If you want to go all out, why not have a look at the pop-up hotel? This is less camping, more glamping! They have a luxurious tent with a 4 poster bed inside and all kinds of facilities, if you’re looking to relax, this could certainly be it! The pop-up hotel lives up to it’s name because it can literally pop up in any location. Therefore you’ll get to use their unique facilities in many different places, choose where you might prefer.

So what else is available for somebody looking for a nice relaxing retreat? Well, you have to some of the beautiful rural locations that the UK can offer. Whether it be the beautiful North of the UK featuring the Lake District and Scotland, The South West of the UK where you have the Cornish Coasts and the Beautiful Devon Countryside, or even the Midlands? One of my favourite places to visit is Devon. Devon has a wide range of interesting things to do as-well as beautiful views and marvellous scenery. If you’re interested in looking at places to visit, I suggest looking into some of the activity centres in North Devon or even the smaller town areas. There’s always something to do or to find in these beautiful rural areas so keep an eye out.

I also find that holidays on water can also be relaxing, why not rent a boat? No not one of those small boats, why not rent a boat on the Nolfolk Broads and drive yourself  around the country. It’s always fun finding a spot to moore up on and have a BBQ. It’s also a great holiday for the family if you’re interested on taking the kids with you.

So there are a few ideas to having your own peaceful getaway.
