Do you often struggle with the January blues? This is something that many people struggle with each year after the highs of Christmas have faded and the year starts off with bleak weather and not much to look forward to. A staycation in January could be just what the doctor ordered to help you through this challenging month and to kickstart your year with a highlight. The UK can also be very beautiful at the time of year, so where are a few of the best places to go?
Cornwall
People tend to flock to Cornwall in the warmer months of the year, but there is also something special about it during the winter and it is much quieter. It is a great time for long walks in the surrounding natural beauty and windy walks on the beach. You can also enjoy great food and a few drinks in the cosy pubs – be sure to try a seafood platter or fish and chips!
Snowdonia
The Snowdonia National Park is a breathing sight to behold in any season. During winter, there is a certain wildness to it that makes it the perfect place for a staycation particularly those that enjoy long winter walks and nature.
Peak District
If you want to get away from everything for a while then the Peak District is a great choice and an area of outstnading natural beauty. You can spend your time here hiking, cycling and climbing or simply staying inside your accommodation and getting cost being surrounded by nature.
The Lake District
Alternatively, the Lake District is a brilliant option as England’s largest national park and an area with breathtaking scenery. It is ideal for those seeking an action-packed staycation with hiking, cycling and windsurfing opportunities throughout as well as seeing William Wordsworth’s house and Beatrix Potter’s house.
Camper Van Holidays
You will find that one of the best ways to enjoy the above destinations is with a camper van holiday and they all have camper van parks nearby to check out. Camper van holidays have exploded in popularity during the pandemic and it is easy to see why as they can provide freedom, privacy and flexibility. It is important that you have sufficient insurance in place from somewhere like Comfort Insurance to protect yourself if you encounter any problems on your staycation.
A staycation could be the perfect way to start the new year and to escape the January blues. The above are a few of the best destinations to consider during winter, which all provide the perfect setting for a special and memorable staycation. Hopefully, a staycation at these destinations will get 2022 off to a brilliant start and set you up for a great year.
