Easter is coming up and if you are looking to book a last minute staycation, we have just the thing with GoEuro…
Easter is coming and if you are looking for a few days to get away with your other half, your family or your friends then we have just the thing for a much needed Easter break. We have worked with GoEuro to put together short breaks from Londoner, Manchester and Glasgow to a number of beautiful and interesting points all round the country…
Departing from London:
A long weekend…
For less than £80, escape the capital and embark on a four-day whistle-stop tour around England with stops at Glastonbury, Torquay and Weymouth. After taking in the medieval sites of the iconic festival namesake, relax in the picturesque seaside towns of Devon and Dorset. Or, take a walk along the South West Coast Path in Torquay, England’s longest footpath, stretching 630 miles.

A two day break…
The shorter two-day Easter break to Bath allows Londoners to get out of town for less than £40 return in just over 90 minutes on the train. There is no shortage of things to do from discovering the honey-stone Georgian crescents and terraces, wallowing in the Roman Baths or walking the six-mile Bath Skyline through meadows, ancient woodlands and secluded valleys.
For a daytrip:
And, for a daytrip, Londoners should look no further than two of England’s oldest and most prestigious university towns: Oxford and Cambridge. Return trains from London to Oxford start from as little as £11 on Easter Saturday while on Easter Sunday, travellers can visit Cambridge for just £18. Whether it is visiting the ‘city of dreaming spires’ or punting along the River Cam and admiring the university’s impressive colleges along ‘The Backs’, both cities promise the perfect day out.

Departing from Manchester:
Forget the Eiffel Tower, UK travellers can check out one of Britain’s most-loved landmarks, the Blackpool Tower. Just a short bus journey from Manchester, Blackpool is home to a host of attractions including the Tower Eye, Tower Circus, Tower Ballroom and Tower Dungeon, as well as the Blackpool pleasure beach and zoo. After visiting the seaside resort, travellers can continue north to Kendal, the southern gateway to the Lake District where visitors can explore the National Park before catching the train to Keighley, which boasts an impressive collection of museums and galleries. This round trip costs just under £85.
Departing from Glasgow:
Swap road-tripping for train-tripping over the Easter break with GoEuro and explore Scotland’s favourite cities as well as the rugged highlands for less than £45 return. Explore, Edinburgh, Dundee and Inverness on a four-day break where alongside Easter eggs and hot cross buns, travellers can indulge in local delicacies including haggis and the finest single malt whisky.
Alternatively, starting from just £33, travellers can spend the Easter weekend exploring three new destinations off the beaten path. The three-day itinerary idea from Glasgow-Perth-Kirkcaldy offers a scenic tour of Scotland’s stunning east coast.
