When it comes taking a holiday, people tend to generally to move to the
bright lights and hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis like London.
Admittedly London is one of the most prominent and well known cities in the
world and it does offer fantastic sites to tourists from across the UK and the
globe. However, at times don’t you feel like getting away from it all and
taking the family on a serene trip to the scenic English countryside.Why not
combine two types of holiday, a week in a city and then a week in the country?
This is the best way to explore England!
If the thought has crossed your mind then why not visit an area like
Dorset. Shaftesbury is a quintessential British town in every sense and is situated
approximately 750 feet above sea level. The town itself has beautifully created
homes of limestone or greens and that was brought from the surrounding area. The
roofs are made of thatch and it gives them a quaint charm. You will find quite
a few tourists who visit the town to experience its rustic beauty. Some of the other popular sites are
Black more Vale which offers a view of far off Glastonbury, provided you stand
at the right spot. Then there is Gold Hill with its cobbled streets which have
been featured on many a magazine cover including the Morrison’s supermarket
advert. You can find a nice cottage in this area and escape the hustle and
bustle.
For the London side of your trip, make sure you get a hotel right in the
centre of it all! London reviews are the best source of information, where everyday
travelers write their comments on websites and forums for all to read. There
are a few hotels and B&B accommodations available which are reasonably
priced and offer most modern amenities, close to sights like The London Eye,
The Houses of Parliament and Covent Garden – all great places to enjoy the city
side of your holiday.
However you
take your holiday this year, why not split it and do two things you love? Then
you won’t feel like you’re missing out! For more visit at
