Despite the historical connections, England is a long way from North America, India, Australia and its other former colonies, and so many aspiring overseas travellers may be put off by the expense of the trip. But perhaps you dream of retracing the footsteps of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and visiting historic sites like Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Or perhaps you are a soccer fan dreaming of cheering on David Beckham's old team, Manchester United, or a theatre lover wishing to see the birthplace of Shakespeare. For many people this will remain only a dream. And if you're dreaming of traveling through space and time with Dr Who in the Tardis, then I'm sorry to say, that will probably remain a dream too.

But don't despair, a trip to England may not be out of your reach. There are many areas of the travel budget where you can save on expenses.

As one of the UK’s most popular family holiday destinations, Devon provides many family attractions.

When it comes to things to do in North Devon, the Tarka Trail is one of the best. Hiking is a popular thing to do in that area and all of Britain, and cycling and just strolling are also things that people like to do there.

It’s called Nature’s Highway for a reason, and there is so much to see there if you appreciate the beauty of nature. The plants and wildlife, as well as the scenery in general, are breathtaking and unique, and it’s a great place to just go and be peaceful and enjoy what the world has to offer.

For new parents, life can suddenly seem very tiring and demanding. With a new baby in the house, there is little time for relaxing or spending quality time together. In other circumstances, a couple might plan a holiday to recuperate but with the arrival of a new-born the prospect of a holiday can seem like an unrealistic idea, especially with all the travel involved, the health-protection needed and the exposure to unfamiliar climates. However, many parents are aware that there is now limited time for a holiday. Within a few years, the baby will be at school and the opportunities to travel will be more or less dictated by the school term-times, meaning that holidays will have to be taken at the most expensive times of the year. Yet there is a compromise available by holidaying in the UK.
