The best holidays the north has to offer

If you are thinking about taking a holiday in the north of England then there are a number of different places that you could visit. The North of England has so many hidden gems, but here are a few for you to choose between.

First of all, everyone loves the Lakes, and when it comes to the Lakes, very few places offer more than the market town of Keswick. Keswick is perfectly situated for exploring the vast majority of the Northern area of the Lakes. You can find plenty of cottages in keswick on the internet if it sounds like the place for you.

Alternatively you could go for a holiday in the city of York. York is a delightful city which is large enough to offer plenty for the holiday maker, yet is small enough to explore in its entirety in one day. With over 365 different pubs in the city, there are plenty of places to whet your whistle, and there are plenty of lovely restaurants to visit too. Visit the inspiring York minster and the city walls to find out more about the history of the place. You will find that York is busy with tourists all year round, but you should be able to find cottages in york quite easily.

Finally back to the Lakes, and Grasmere is a great place for a family. It’s a quiet spot in the Lakes, but it is great for getting about. It is also one of the prettiest villages in the whole of the Lakes and is nicely situated right in the middle of the area. You can find grassmere cottages available on the internet.
