Reasons to caravan on home soil

Why not head to a part of the UK's stunning coastline on your next caravan holiday?

The beauty of caravanning is that you can go wherever you like, including abroad. But why head overseas when there is so much to see and do on your own doorstep?

In an article for the Telegraph newspaper, travel writer Sophie Butler lists her reasons why families should holiday on home soil this year.

She said that in Britain, families can visit historic properties, spend time in the countryside, head to the beach or get active with pursuits such as kayaking, mountain biking and hiking.

“Our history is as interesting, our landscape as varied and beautiful, our art and architecture as inspiring as that of any other European country,” she insisted.

“True, accommodation and eating out are relatively expensive, but a little research will keep costs down.”

Of course for caravanners, accomodation can be cheap, with just the cost of fuel and fees for touring pitches to take into account.

And if families don’t fancy eating out every night, they can save money by cooking their own meals in their caravan’s kitchen.
