Going on holiday in England

England offers a wealth of fine activities throughout the year. For countryside visits, the summer season brings the best weather. Accommodation rates generally rise from July to August, and school holidays mean that attractions and beauty spots become crowded. This is particularly true of beaches and national parks. You can consider June and September to avoid the worst of this. Shoulder seasons in spring and autumn can be just as delightful. While the weather is often good, it is unpredictable, so be sure to pack accordingly. That means waterproofs and sun cream, just in case. Winter is generally wet and cold with snow at higher elevations, particularly up north. The countryside can be captivating in the winter frost, but wrap up warm and prepare for visits to more lively towns. Very remote areas and tourist towns see reduced hours at attractions and restaurants over winter.
