Like millions of other British people, I go on holiday in the summer. Although July and August are the most popular months, not everyone takes their holidays at the same time. Lots of people take a two-week break, but they can choose when to take it. Going abroad for a holiday is now very popular. British people make almost 40 million holiday trips every year. That's seven times more than in 1970. Florida and the Caribbean are popular with some holidaymakers, but 85% of foreign holidays are in Western Europe. Spain is the number one choice for many people. Over 25% of all British holidaymakers go there. Why do so many British people go abroad for their holidays? Because of the British weather. Sometimes there isn't very much sun! But not everyone goes abroad. The traditional British seaside holiday is still very popular. In the nineteenth century, there weren't any cars or planes. People travelled by train from the big cities to seaside towns such as Blackpool, Bournemouth ... and here, Brighton, which is only 100 kilometres from London. People come here to swim, windsurf, sunbathe or just sit in a deckchair. Brighton is a place for family holidays because there are lots of things to do. They all have a good time ... and it doesn't matter how old you are! People stay in hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfasts. Some people camp in tents or stay in caravans. This is a cheaper type of holiday. Everyone hopes for a lot of sunshine and not too much rain! Over 2 million British people spend their holiday in Devon or Cornwall in the south-west of England. In the north, the Lake District and Scotland are both very popular. Surprisingly, London isn't popular. Very few British people go there. How many? Only about a quarter of a million. Not everyone wants to spend 2 weeks lying on a beach. Many British people have activity holidays, doing things such as climbing, cycling, walking in the hills, or ... sailing on a narrow boat along a canal. You can travel gently through the countryside and spend a little time visiting interesting places. You don't have to book a hotel, because you sleep on the boat. It's very different to everyday life, and very relaxing! Все серии здесь
