It’s a country that of something for everyone and truly leaves you spoiled for choice. If you’re unsure where to start when it comes to planning a staycation trip around England, here are some ideas for things to do. 

Activities To Do Across The UK:

Take A Vineyard Tour On The South Downs:

Vineyard tours are a great way to spend a day in the south, exploring beautiful surroundings and sampling delicious wines while learning more about how they’re produced and the different flavour notes of the varieties on offer. Whether you’re a connoisseur or new to the world of wine, a tour is a great way to build your knowledge of wines in the surroundings of a stunning vineyard. Book vineyard picnics, discover delicious Sussex sparkling wines and dine on-site with delectable menus. 

Soak Up The Atmosphere At Goodwood:

Goodwood is one of the most famous racing tracks in the south, and with good reason. With events throughout the year, from horse racing and motorsports to vintage cycling and more, there’s something for everyone here and it’s always a great day out. Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or you love the beauty and elegance of older motors, Goodwood is pure luxury and has a wonderful atmosphere. 

Enjoy The Good Life On The Norfolk Broads:

The Norfolk Broads are stunning and they’re the perfect place to enjoy a slice of the good life, with glamourous 38ft cruisers which combine the luxuries of a hotel with the gentle pace of a canal boat. Here, you’ll be in a prime location to watch birds and wildlife along the banks and enjoy a classically English holiday in one of the most picturesque parts of the country. 

Book An Adventure The Kids Will Never Forget:

If you’re looking for a way to keep a group of kids entertained, whether it’s on the half-term or over the summer holidays, why not book a group day trip with Kingswood? With locations around the UK, there’s a great selection of outdoor learning activities and things to do to challenge little ones and build their confidence through play and learning. 

Dive Into The Musical History:

If you or someone you know is a music buff and loves their musical history, there’s no better place to be than the Cavern Club. Famous for being the stage where the Beatles made their debut back in 1961, the Cavern Club in Liverpool is now a legendary venue that’s hosted many of the industry’s leading names, from the Kinks to the Rolling Stones and Elton John. It remains one of the top venues in the city today and it’s a great place to visit if you want to learn more about the history of this musical city. 

Step Back In Time: 

At Pendon Museum in Abingdon, the past comes to life. The idyllic scenes showcase life in the 1920s and ‘30s in miniature form, with dioramas showing railways, landscapes and villages that are expertly crafted to incredible detail. There are also short walks in the Vale of White Horse which enable you to explore the countryside modelled at Pendon Museum, so you can experience them for yourself. The museum offers family tours, art activities and workshops, and exhibitions throughout the year. 

Take Part In Watersports: 

Take to Woolacombe Bay in Devon if you’re up for more active pursuits. This area is renowned for its golden beaches that are ideal for surfing on the waves, with surf lessons easy to come by, as well as gentler seas for swimming and paddling. The sheer length of Woolacombe Bay means that there are plenty of opportunities to find a quieter spot if you want to relax and simply enjoy the breath-taking views, and it’s a great spot to visit with kids or enjoy a picnic in the summer. 

Final Thoughts:

The UK is packed with great activities and sites to visit, whether you’re travelling solo, as a family or with friends. Whether you’re interested in the rich history of the area, you’re a sports enthusiast seeking an adrenalin rush, or you want to explore more of the natural beauty of the south coast, there’s something to please everyone, regardless of age.
