In a world of a rising living cost, internal UK travel is becoming more and more popular. With the UK’s travel landscape encompassing various industries, including transportation, accommodation, the arts and entertainment, and hospitality, internal UK travel is a key segment of the national economy. Overseas travel is increasingly becoming more of a financial burden on the population, so the UK’s natural world and traditional locales are growing popular among English citizens.

Here are five emerging trends within this cross-country travel

Seaside breaks
There are over one hundred categorized coastal towns or village regions within the four countries that make up the UK. Despite the traditional issue of the weather being commonly associated with UK holidaying, this doesn’t diminish the beauty of many of the UK’s seasides and the amenities on offer with a break here.

In the South, popular seaside destinations include Brighton, for its fun atmosphere alongside the ease of quick network connections to London. For those wanting to escape the big city for a few days, Brighton is ideal. Dubbed as picturesque as typical European beaches, Cornwall is a hub for surfing, quintessential British charm, and seaside culinary delights. Meanwhile, Bournemouth is known for its sandy beaches.

Heading North, the east coast of Yorkshire homes the loved seasides of Whitby, Scarborough, and Filey. Enabling visitors from the business hubs of Leeds and Manchester to get there in around two hours, these northern gems bring Gothic influence, medieval castles, and heritage to inspire.

Seaside breaks can offer sublime accommodation, both seafront and inland at a wide range of budgets. Being accessible, more affordable, and logistical are proving to be pull factors for many.

Narrowboating breaks
For those in search of a more unique stay away from the seaside traditions, a Cambridge boat tour sees holidaymakers rent out a canal boat for the duration of their stay. Cruising wide channels in the town in the southwest is picturesque, with the bonus of guaranteed calm waters!

The Cambridgeshire county offers a diverse range of natural greenery, architectural wonders, and British hospitality treasures. Whether it’s the multitude of churches and cathedrals drawing you in, or the emerging wildlife at The Fens nature reserve. For the active, smaller boats can be experimented with; if kayaking or canoeing down the River Ouse sounds a treat, then look no further.

Hiking adventures
Advneturous wonders don’t need to look as far a field as one might think for a hiking adventure. Alongside the rugged coastline of the UK border, the fifteen national parks and expanses of woodland coverage are here to be explored. Here are a few favourites for the keen hikers to add to their ‘to-walk’ list:

• The National Three Peaks: For a twenty three mile uphill climb, the National Three Peaks of Scotland, England and Wales see you ascend the highest point peak of each nation. Whilst driving between is something to be remembered here, there are countless organisations and groups available to take part in the challenge with.
• The Lake District: With mountainous climbs, lake ambles or field trundles, the national park is one of the UK’s best preserved natural landscapes. Located in the northwest of Cumbria, the over nine hundred square mile region has an extensive range of routes and adventures on offer. Take on a hike as challenging as you like here, before ending your day in a traditional country pub; the best kind of day on foot!
• Coastal walking: Another rewnowend way for holidayers to see more of the UK on foot. Despite the often colder conditions, a coastal walk brings sea breeze and adventure to all. The Southwest coastal path stretches from Somerset to Dorset, and offers dramatic cliff edges intertwined with sandy beaches and local fishing villages.

Hiking adventures come in their masses in the UK. Get out in the natural world and experience the British weather at it’s best, or worst! A money, time and logistics saver, compared to bookin that overseas hike. Often less than an hour away from home, there is a hike to be uncovered.

Active tours in the UK
In addition to the expanse of hikes available within the UK’s landscape, scenic self-guided hiking tours are an ideal way to ensure you’re on the right track…literally! For solo endevours, small group trailing or a corporate retreat, hiking or cycling tours such as these takes away the planning logistics and offers out the best regional routes for you. New terrains, new connections or self reflection, all on offer as you ascend or descend among some of the UK’s best greeney. Utilise local knowledge and authenticity with a guided tour among which ever national park or peak has been on your list, for a while.

Glamping getaways
Hot tub on sight in the middle of the Peak District? An unplugged retreat just an hour away from the busy streets of the capital? Pet friendly? Tree house, anyone?

The market for traditionally luxury camping accommodation has flew in recent years. The typically more eco-friendly and more affordable luxury than overseas travel, the unique offerings of glamping stays in the UK are endless.
