Find last minute holiday offers in England’s loveliest places

The Pennines are known as the backbone of England with good reason. Stretching from the Peak District to the Tyne Gap, they pass through several dramatic National Parks. And you’ll also spot them in many Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Head to the northern end of the range and you can enjoy stunning views, even in winter, as you stroll around the Teesdale Reservoirs.

The southern side of the Pennines is where to go walking along the top of Stanage Edge. This incredible escarpment runs for over three miles and takes in views of Hope Valley and the Dark Peak. Don’t forget to pop into Bank House pub in the village of Hathersage for lunch beside its cosy open fire.

Burley Manor country house hotel and spa, New Forest

Head to the New Forest for country house hotels and cabins with hot tubs

Kids love the idea of spotting New Forest ponies in another one of our favourite places for a UK winter break. Although after a day’s walking, most parents like the sound of a soothing spa too. For a bit of both, book Burley Manor in the New Forest. A classic English country house hotel with a luxurious spa, this is the perfect treat to beat all post-Christmas slumps.

Planning a multi-gen family staycation this winter? The New Forest wins again with Spot in the Woods. This lovely boutique hotel features family cabins with hot tubs and the New Forest is right outside your door.

Seals basking on the North Norfolk coast

Discover last minute holiday offers for beachy breaks in Norfolk

A hike along the Norfolk coast is as much fun in winter as it is in summer. So that’s where to head for enormous beaches, windswept skies and practically no one else to disturb the perfect peace.

Try Leigh-on-Sea for traditional seaside charm and lunch at Byfords. This local favourite serves up classic roast lunches with all the trimmings. Or you could just pop in for one of their inspired and expertly mixed house cocktails. If you are tempted to eat, make sure to leave room for dessert. Byford’s extravagant pudding menu is a dream and we can personally recommend both their chocolate tarts and baked cheesecakes.

A visit to London is dazzling in winter

London is all lit up and wonderful to watch

A visit to London at this time of year is nothing short of dazzling.

For starters, the award-winning Winter Lights Festival returns to Canary Wharf in January 2023 for its seventh year. As always it will transform the riverside with over 20 spectacular installations created by some of the most innovative artists around the world.

If that’s not shiny enough, try the Chiswick House and Gardens Magical Lantern Festival. This extravaganza turns the 65 acres of Chiswick Gardens into a fairy tale world of light sculptures and Chinese art. The festival starts on January 19th, perfectly timed to welcome in the New Year of the Rooster. As well as over 50 illuminated installations, families can also look forward to music, theatre, culture and art at Chiswick Gardens this January.
