It’s tempting to just accept the January blues, hibernate and wait for the first shoots of spring. But rain, wind, snow and slush withstanding, there’s a lot of fun to be had both inside and out during the winter months in Britain.

IF YOUR GROUPS ARE HARDY AND LOVE THE OUTDOORS:
1) Discover the rugged coastline of Northumberland, shaped by wild nature, waves and centuries of history. Towering cliffs plunge into the North Sea and ancient castles stand guard as they did against invaders from long ago. Explore quaint fishing villages, sheltered coves and miles of unspoilt beaches.
2) Relax in the historic New Forest, where ponies roam freely through ancient woodlands and storybook villages. Enjoy cosy pubs and roaring fires, traditional roast dinners and delight in charming coffee shops, independent bookshops and gift shops.
3) Try Norfolk, a walker’s paradise with award-winning beaches alongside traditional English coastal resorts and market towns. Norfolk promises abundant wildlife, fresh food, quaint pubs and boutique hotels.
4) The breathtaking Lake District, England's largest National Park and a World Heritage Site, offering spectacular landscapes, picturesque villages and a rich cultural heritage. Take a cruise across one of the stunning lakes, explore the fells, try watersports, hire bikes or simply enjoy the peace.
5) Snowdonia, the outdoor adventure capital of North Wales, with Snowdonia National Park and Mount Snowdon. Another World Heritage Site, boasting award-winning beaches, the famous Wales Coast Path and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Walk, cycle or see the sites on the Snowdon Mountain Railway.
