Destination Focus: Manchester

Posted by Paul Lucascomment on April 5, 2013 16:00
There’s a certain amount of irony about April in the UK. After all, April is famous for its “showers”: but anyone who lives here knows that showers rarely go away. So why not do something to embrace April and head to the city in the UK that is perhaps most famous for its rain: Manchester. Manchester is famous for much more than rain of course: including two rather large football teams; many notable museums; and one of the hottest nightlife scene... [Read Full Post]

Destination Focus: Lake District

Posted by Paul Lucascomment on March 6, 2013 15:00
March has arrived and that means the nights are getting lighter and the weather is getting better… or at least, that’s the theory. Of course in the UK we can never rely on the sun so if you’re looking for a holiday getaway this month it’s good to find a location that isn’t going to be wasted by bad weather too. In this regard, a stay in the Lake District can oblige as it is truly one of Britain’s most beautiful locations whatever the weather. ... [Read Full Post]

Destination Focus: Bath

Posted by Paul Lucascomment on February 14, 2013 09:00
Ah February, the month for lovers. Whether you think that Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day of the year; or whether you deride it as sentimental and commercial claptrap; there’s no denying it gives us an excuse (and a prompt) to show the ones we love how we feel. However, if you’re sick of flowers and chocolates then why not go to a special effort and really give your loved one a February to remember: with a stay in Bath? WHERE IS BATH? ... [Read Full Post]

Destination Focus: The Cairngorms

Posted by Paul Lucascomment on January 31, 2013 19:00
Us Brits are a funny lot: we talk about how we long for a white Christmas; how we wish we could see a bit of snow… yet as soon as it arrives we start moaning about the trouble it causes, how we’re never prepared and we wish it would just go away. If you’re a snow fan then the start of 2013 has not disappointed with plenty of the white stuff across the UK. However, if you’d rather replace the hazardous conditions and the slippery walkways with so... [Read Full Post]

Chester On A Budget Or Siena

Posted by Paul Lucascomment on January 27, 2012 08:00
They are two of the most architecturally stunning locations in the world – but which has the edge between Italy’s underrated destination of Siena, and the similarly overlooked city of Chester in Cheshire? Even though Italy is one of the most desirable holiday destinations in the world, many travellers overlook Siena in favour of the obvious attractions of Rome, Florence and Venice. Similarly, many of those considering a city break in England wou... [Read Full Post]
