Holidays in the North of England offer so many different options, that you’ll be spoilt for choice! The region is rich in history, and offers some of the most beautiful landscapes – from inland splendour to coastal delight. From the amusement parks in Blackpool in Lancashire, to messing about in boats on one of the 16 lakes in the Lake District, holidaymakers will find plenty to do and see.

The best way to explore the region is to hire a holiday home: choose from a country cottage in the Vale of York, or perhaps a holiday park in the Yorkshire Moors. Perhaps a farmhouse on the Yorkshire Dales is more your style. A self-catering lodge in West Yorkshire may be what you’re after, or even perhaps seaside holiday apartment in Northumberland or County Durham.

You can choose a holiday that will suit your lifestyle – a quiet retreat, or perhaps an active walking or cycling trip. Adrenalin junkies will find thrills a plenty – from highwire forest explorations to potholing. Follow a literary or historical journey, or simply drop in at any one of the many welcoming towns and villages. Boating, fishing, golfing or simply lazing on the beach are all possibilities in this intriguing area.
