English holiday cottages are ideal for exploring the beautiful and diverse countryside of rural England. The unrivalled beauty, blissfully laid back atmosphere and great outdoors make Easter breaks in cosy country cottages perfect for families wanting to escape the hectic pace of life and enjoy some quality time together.
If you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, taking an Easter break in rural England means you’ll have lots of time for long walks, bike rides, fishing and plenty of other leisure activities.
Cumbria and the Lake District
It’s no surprise that often the first place that comes to mind when thinking of beautiful rural breaks in England is Cumbria and the Lake District. The mountains, lakes and awe-inspiring scenery provide the perfect backdrop to leisure pursuits like walking, cycling, horse riding, kayaking and hiking. When you’re walking along Pennine Way or Hadrian’s Wall path you’ll understand why this area has inspired so many of British writers and poets. The wild fells and moors, unspoilt woodland, majestic peaks and peaceful lakes provide a truly enchanting view from holiday cottages in Cumbria and the Lake District.
A Seaside Easter Break
If you’re more interested in sea, sun and sand for your Easter break, then a holiday rental at a seaside town may be a better choice for you. The popular seaside resort of Brighton is the perfect place to soak up the sun, tour the Royal Pavilion and stroll along the Victorian Pier. If you’d prefer a seaside Easter break away from the crowds why not take a holiday rental in Devon or Cornwall? Deserted coves, seaside cliffs, quaint fishing villages and great surfing beaches make the Cornish and Devon coast a great option for an Easter break at the beach. There is so much to do in the region, from exploring the Jurassic Coast or surfing at Newquay, to walking to St. Michael’s Mount at low tide or exploring Devon’s wild moorlands of Dartmoor and Exmoor.
Easter in the Heart of England
In April the Heart of England is awash with the colours of spring and sun-kissed daffodils make sleepy villages and rolling green hills come alive. You will find enchantment everywhere. There are historic places to explore like Tamworth Castle, Hereford’s Norman Cathedral, and Shropshire’s famous Iron Bridge monument, while Derbyshire and the Peak District have breathtaking landscapes that can be enjoyed by walkers, cyclists and nature lovers alike. There are also plenty of quiet hamlets and villages waiting to be explored in Gloucestershire‘s Cotswolds.
With so many beautiful places to explore your choice of English holiday destination is amazingly wide. Whatever your interests, you’re sure to find the perfect holiday rental for a memorable Easter break in England.
