Things to do in UK on an all-inclusive holiday

If families want a guaranteed adrenaline rush for young travellers, amusement parks like Alton Towers or Thorpe Park will do the trick. Music fans will love Liverpool, with its links to the Beatles. And outdoor lovers can lose themselves in the sublime scenery of the Lake District, the Pennines, or the Scottish Highlands.
Getting around
The UK isn't a huge country by any means, and internal transport links are usually reliable. Trains connect most major cities, especially on a north-south axis. They are a great way to get from London to York, Liverpool, Manchester, or Edinburgh.
Hiring a car as part of family holidays could make sense as well. That way, you can head from London to Windsor Castle in half an hour. And there are flights between many major cities, so getting around won't be tough.
Stadiums
Sport is a national obsession in the UK, and staying near major stadiums is a good way to reach major events. Important football stadiums include Wembley, the Emirates, and White Hart Lane (all in London), as well as Anfield and Old Trafford (in the north west).
Rugby fans should head to Twickenham in London, Cardiff's Principality Stadium, or Murrayfield in Edinburgh, while the foremost cricket stadium is Lords, in north-west London.
Theatres and Nightlife
If you're seeking a cultural escape, London's West End has the UK's highest concentration of theatres. Nightlife is different, with many smaller cities possessing lively music, dining, and clubbing scenes. Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, Brighton, and Manchester are all ideal for visitors who want to make the most of their evenings.
Foodies can find excellent restaurants everywhere, including Cornwall, where Nathan Outlaw is regularly rated number one in the country.
Major Celebrations and Things to Know
The UK doesn't have many national celebrations, aside from New Year and Christmas. However, visitors will find many local festivals and traditions.
There's Edinburgh's Hogmanay (a unique take on New Year), the Hay Literary Festival in east Wales, and the Eisteddfod, which celebrates Welsh culture in late summer.
Typical food and gastronomy in the UK
Traditional food in the UK tends to be simple and satisfying. Don't miss a classic meal of fish and chips, where haddock or cod is encased in batter and served with thick, deep-fried chips. Street food like Cornish pasties or Scotch eggs offer a filling way to keep yourself going in between attractions.
However, modern British food goes way beyond these dishes. Gastro-pubs like Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck use local ingredients to create dazzling takes on British cuisine, while every city centre will boast several excellent Indian restaurants, and finding cuisine from all over the world is rarely difficult. Recent years have seen hundreds of pubs convert to family-friendly spaces, mixing fine food, a friendly atmosphere, and craft beers or ales. So give them a visit as well.
Weather & Climate in the UK
While it's true that few people visit the UK for its wall to wall sunshine, the weather in summer can be extremely warm and sunny. Areas like west Wales and Cornwall enjoy particularly warm climates, and average over 20 degrees centigrade in July and August.
London also tends to be warmer than the rest of the country, and often experiences summer heatwaves. Most of the country receives mild weather and above average rainfall in spring and autumn, and chilly temperatures from November to March. Whenever travellers visit, it's advisable to bring a raincoat and have a few wet weather activities planned, just in case.
Accommodation in the UK
Travellers booking all-inclusive holidays to UK cities or beach destinations probably won't find sprawling resort hotels. Instead, accommodation in the UK tends to involve smaller hotels, hotels adapted from country houses or castles, or bed and breakfast options.
When booking, customers can build their own all-inclusive breaks by adding flights, car hire and accommodation together, and it may also be possible to add excursions or activities to the package as well. Adding everything together can deliver big savings while taking care of holiday essentials in one purchase, so it's an attractive option.
