Caravan enthusiasts may already know that England is a great destination for a family summer holiday.

However, one tourism expert has claimed that the nation is great for a break even if the sun is not shining.

VisitEngland chief executive James Berresford praised the country for its ability to offer holidaymakers something to do whatever the weather is like.

Last weekend saw holidaymakers in the UK enjoy soaring temperatures, with the 30.9 degrees C experienced in Gravesend in Kent the highest seen in Britain this year.

Mr Berresford explained that many Brits enjoy nothing more than relaxing outside on a sunny day.

“Seaside resorts up and down the country benefit from the sunshine and we’re delighted that the predictions for an ice-cream summer seem to be coming true,” he noted.

However, the expert was keen to point out that the country offers plenty of attractions that accept visitors even if the weather is not at its best.
