And, you know, it probably is as easy as all that. You could pop over to London and take a few day trips in the immediate area, then spend a day or two venturing a bit further afield - to Oxford or the Cotswolds or Stratford upon Avon and, hey presto, what a great vacation you've had.
But whether you buy your vacation basics for yourself, online, or use a travel agent to book a tour, a little advance planning can open your eyes to corners of the UK you never even heard of, let alone thought of visiting. Consider a few simple questions to turn a good trip into a great one.
Who is Going to the UK?
Unlike some vacation destinations that are more suitable for couples than families, older than younger people, the United Kingdom has something for everyone. It's just a question of choosing wisely for your party. Perhaps you are:- A couple planning a romantic trip
- A family traveling with children
- A large group -- a sports team, a hiking party, a group of cyclists, a clan reunion, a class trip
- Mature and looking for peaceful surroundings
- Pet owners
