Brits enjoying the 'beauty' on their doorstep

Posted by Freddy Morton


More and more caravan refrigeration owners are taking holidays in the UK and becoming aware of the scenery that a domestic holiday can provide.


Phillipa Gough, team leader at Natural Retreats, said: "People are realising more and more the beauty of the nature within the UK and Ireland.


"They have got these places on their doorstep and they don't even realise that they are there."


Ms Gough added that recent events such as heavy snowfall and the ash cloud have made more Brits consider staying in the UK for their holidays.


She believes that people in the UK are looking to take domestic holidays as many people experienced last minute cancellations during 2010.


The organisation has recommended the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales or the Mediterranean climate of Cornwall for summer holidays.


Recent AA Travel Insurance figures revealed that a fifth of UK holidaymakers will not take a foreign holiday this year, instead preferring to stay in the UK.
