As summer becomes a distant memory and daylight becomes increasingly hard to come by, these winter breaks in the UK are the perfect place to get some respite. So, book a short winter break in one of these winter-proof properties and enjoy a holiday to remember during the UK's colder months.
Why Winter Breaks in the UK?
Winter may well be chilly, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't get out and explore the great outdoors. There's nothing better than crisp walks through white wonderlands where you can hear snow crunching with each step and take in the transformed scenery and the fresh air. The best feeling of all? Getting back to these winter UK breaks lets, kicking off your boots and warming up around the fire.
There are several attractions you can enjoy during short winter breaks in the UK, from steam engine railways taking you through the snow, to vibrant Christmas markets dotted throughout UK towns and cities. If you love the outdoors, you’ll be pleased to know that many national parks in the UK host Dark Skies sites, so you can enjoy an evening of stargazing amidst gorgeous landscapes. Uncover even more things to do in the UK during this time by using our Travel Guide.
Places to visit near Winter Holidays in the UK
The UK is home to a plethora of locations you can enjoy winter breaks in; you might find it hard to choose! We have a few recommendations to inspire you with, though. If it’s a city getaway you’re after at this time of year, you should venture to Bath or Edinburgh; both spots boast amazing Christmas markets, and the latter hosts a special Hogmanay celebration that’s not to be missed.
If you’d prefer to unwind in the countryside during your short winter break, be sure to enjoy a getaway in the Cotswolds or North Wales, where a wealth of rural walks and sleepy villages await.
