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.

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:
