What is a staycation?

The term 'staycation' has been around since the 1940s, meaning staying at home during holiday periods rather than travelling. Since then, the meaning has evolved, now referring to holidaying in your home country rather than heading abroad.

While jetting off all around the world sounds like a thrilling adventure, there's still plenty of fun to be had on a staycation in the UK. From discovering hidden gems to saving money and helping protect the environment, there are lots of reasons a UK staycation is a fantastic choice.

Planning your staycation

While a staycation is generally less stressful to plan than a getaway abroad, there are still some tips to take into account for a hassle-free holiday experience. 

Mapping out a budget beforehand is a great way to figure out what you're willing to spend on your trip, and if you're undecided on a destination, it can play a factor in your choice. Once you have a spot pinned down, be sure to do some research into the area and make a rough itinerary of walks, attractions, restaurants and anywhere else you would like to visit. Don't forget to plan the route carefully and give yourself plenty of time to travel. 

Our final tip is to sit back and switch off. Disconnecting from your devices is a great way to connect with nature, and you'll feel a lot more refreshed without the constant distraction. 

Things to do on your staycation

A staycation gives you the chance to sit back and switch off, but it's also a great time to get out and explore. Our parks are located close to many fantastic attractions, as well as walking routes, cycling trails and spots shrouded in natural beauty, so there's plenty to keep you busy on your trip.
