If you’re new to holidaying closer to home, you may be a little unsure on what to pack. You’ll be used to packing for poolside, and while this is still worth considering, a UK break will require a bit more thought.

#1 Countryside escape
If you’re thinking of heading to the hills for your staycation make sure you’re prepared. Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life is most definitely what the doctor ordered this year, and with a plethora of quaint cottages across the country to choose from we’re really spoilt for choice. Whether you’ll be taking leisurely strolls through the fields of flowers or hiking up Mam Tor make sure you dress for the weather as well as your style because it may be a long walk back.
