United Kingdom October Holidays

If you want to live out your Harry Potter fantasy in the cobbled streets of Oxford or snuggle down in a Lake District cabin, UK October holidays are just the thing. For a historic city-break, weave your way through York’s charming medieval streets with a steaming cup of coffee in hand or explore the rugged ruins of Edinburgh’s ancient structures. Looking for a bit more culture? Head to London for countless art galleries or visit the home of Shakespeare in Stratford Upon Avon. If nature is more your thing, then dig out your wellies for a trip along the Norfolk Coast or if you’re just looking for a quick trip out of London, head to the New Forest National Park for some awe-inspiring scenery. And if you’re after slightly more major hiking during your UK October holidays, try the Brecon Beacons or the Yorkshire Dales, both of which will be much less crowded than in peak summer season.
