Wish you were there? We all do at some point or another. A trip to distant and exotic lands or a jaunt around the home counties can be equally rewarding in their own way and these days, we genuinely do live in a small world.

Economy and long haul flights, fantastic rail journeys with scenery to make you quiver, locations that will set the hairs on the back of your neck on edge and hotels or B&B’s that offer great service and often great value.

Check out some of the package tours on offer, a week away in a caravan, self catering or a stay in a holiday park, day trips away or a weekend break .Sun, sand and sea, snow, showers and schnapps, the choice is yours

Hire a bicycle and travel along one of the many west country’s cycle routes or if you enjoy rambling then why not enjoy a walking holiday along the South West Coast which offers some 630 miles of stunning coastal walking, over woodlands, high cliffs, long sandy beaches, discreet coves, rocky headlands and picturesque villages?. Modern planes, trains and automobiles have developed to such an extent that old Phileas Fogg could win his bet in 8 days now rather than 80. The world is our oyster and weekend trips to Barcelona, Prague or Vienna are no longer pie-in-the-sky dreams. Far-flung visits East to sample the Orient, or a short skip and a jump to the West to take a bite of The Big Apple are equally well within your grasp. If you just want something closer to home then check out the trips on offer of travel to London for the day or a visit to one of the many Towns and Villages that are just a short distance away, check out the excellent Bus and Train services that are available
