Going on a weekend trip is great fun and allows you to get away from it all for a couple of days. This can be really refreshing and can help you to come back to everyday life feeling happier and healthier, with a better outlook. Holidays are very important for health and mental wellbeing.

There are many destinations in the UK that can make excellent weekend destinations. If you like city breaks, think of somewhere like London, Liverpool or Manchester. You might also want to think about Glasgow or Edinburgh if Scotland is close enough to you.

If you prefer a country retreat, the Cotswolds or the Peak District are lovely spots that are very typically English. You could also enjoy a seaside break somewhere like Bournemouth or Margate. With cheap flights being so readily available, it is also possible to get to other countries for a short break very easily.
