Holidays in in the UK

	Cornwall in Pictures Cornwall is one of the most photogenic counties of England. Sandy beaches, mine engine houses, pretty harbours, and so much more. Here are just a few photos to illustrate the immense variety of scenery on offer. ....READ MORE
	Lovely Lakes There's no doubt about it that whenever we think of going on holiday, we are drawn to water. Number one attraction are the coasts of whichever country we are visiting, but the lakes can run them a close second so here are some lovely lakes to whet you appetite. ....READ MORE
	The Best Driving Roads We talk a lot about walking and hiking while on holiday, but not everyone has the ability or inclination to walk a great distance.
