Those seeking beautiful countryside and long and challenging walking and hiking opportunities will probably head to the much loved Lake District or the stunning scenery of the Derbyshire Peak District. Those in search of culture, nightlife and fabulously stylish shopping opportunities might take a trip to one of Britain''s big cities, such as Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh or, of course, the mighty London.

If you like to experience other cultures, then Leicester could be the perfect place for you to host your summer excursion.
