Everybody is collecting data. There are polls and surveys about everything. At the moment there are a lot of findings and feedback on the important issue of what people like to do most on their holidays. Their favourite things. And in particular, there have been lots more surveys and findings on what we like to do most when we’re on holiday in the UK. Across all the research there are some consistent favourites. There’s no wonder a UK holiday home is a favourite place to be. Because you can do all your favourite things there.

Rundown this top 5 of the favourites and you’ll see why people favour their own holiday home!

Coastal walks

Suffolk holiday homes are brilliant, and they are perfectly located for coastal walks. No surprise then that Suffolk cottages by the sea are high on the list of desirable UK holiday homes. Suffolk beaches are super. The surrounding countryside is pretty wonderful too. But when it comes to coastal walks and wondering a Suffolk holiday home is the perfect holiday home location. There’s a balance to leisure time in this part of the world. It’s exactly the right mix of calm tranquillity and first-class facilities. It’s like being spoiled for choice in an unspoiled place. And when it comes to coastal walks there are few better places.

Go Shopping - when you visit Waveney River Centre

Waveney River Centre puts you within easy reach of cities, towns, and villages. It’s that balance thing again. Take the Tingdene Waveney River Centre for example. Nestling in the Waveney valley it’s at the heart of what makes The Broads so beautiful. It’s a real place. Somewhere authentic, where you can wander by boatyards and see wildlife up close. But when it comes to wanting your holiday burst of retail therapy, you’re within striking distance of all you need. Or want. There are all the joys of independent shops in the marker towns that make East Anglia so charming, and you’re not that far from Norwich where the more dedicated among you can shop till you drop.

Sightseeing when you visit your Lincolnshire Chalet or Caravan

Look at Mablethorpe Chalet Park for example. If sightseeing is your thing this is where you’ll see yourselves having a holiday home. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, nearby sights to see include the Manor House Museum, and of course the history and heritage of Skegness. It’s one of the UK’s oldest seaside towns. Coastal resorts don’t come more classic than this. And there’s Mablethorpe itself, as well as Cleethorpes and Sutton on Sea. All of these places are steeped in history and packed with sights to see. You’d also be close to all the glory that is Lincoln. The cathedral is a wonder. The castle is not only a sight to see but gives you wonderful views over the city as well.

Just being lazy on the beach

From Clacton on Sea to Southwold, a holiday home by the sea is a perfect base for simply lazing on a beach. Having your own place, a simple stroll from the sand, makes a lazy beach day so much more - doable. There will be no need to make a land grab for a sunbed by staking your claim to it with your towel at some unearthly hour of the morning. You can even pop back at lunchtime and have sandwiches - without sand in them. When you have your own UK seaside holiday home you can take lazing on the beach up a gear. (Should that be down a gear?). If you’re in the UK you’ll no longer need to plan a day’s driving and picnic packing; nor will you need to put up with the pressures (you know what they are) of a day on foreign sand. Your own UK seaside holiday home takes the work out of being lazy on a beach.

Visiting historic sites

How does Whitby Abbey - inspiration for Brem Stoker’s Dracula sound? Or a visit to the house where Captain Cook once lived? They are just two of the historic sites on your doorstep if your UK holiday home is at Tingdene Redcar Beach. This part of the UK coast is steeped in history. As is so much of our seaside and surrounding area. From the lighthouse at Southwold to the stately homes of the Yorkshire coast, from windmills to waterways, there are historic sites to see all over the UK. Your own UK seaside holiday home gives you the chance to explore somewhere away from home - without having to travel too far from home.

So there it is. Scientific analysis (yes, really) has explored what we like to do on our holidays. it’s identified our most favourite uses of our leisure time. And coming through loud and clear is that all of those precious pastimes can be enjoyed here in the UK. Add in the idea of having your own UK seaside holiday home and what starts to emerge is a perfect picture of the perfect holiday. Spending time with your family and friends, in a financially savvy, planet-friendly, (think fewer air miles) home from home puts you in the perfect place to do what you want to do. Take in some historic sites, or just relax with a lazy day on the beach. Go sightseeing. Because in the UK there’s so much to see. Or hit the shops. Food or fashion. Books or bangles and baubles. You deserve it. And when you’ve had your hit of the high street strike out for a coastal walk. Just wander. In wonder.

From a Suffolk cottage by the sea to chalets in Mablethorpe, from the Broads to Clacton on Sea, owning your own UK holiday home is becoming the country’s favourite place for our favourite things to do. So do it.
