A vibrant city bursting with music, maritime heritage, and character, Liverpool is a must-see on any city break. Explore the famous Albert Dock, take a Beatles-themed tour, or visit the city’s iconic cathedrals. Liverpool’s mix of history, culture, and nightlife makes it one of our most popular short breaks.

Chester

Step back in time with a visit to Chester, one of England’s most picturesque and historic cities. Walk the famous Roman Walls, explore the Chester Rows with their unique two-tiered shops, or relax on a River Dee cruise. Chester’s timeless charm and elegant streets make it perfect for a relaxing city escape.

Kent

Known as the “Garden of England,” Kent is home to a mix of historic towns, elegant cathedrals, and coastal charm. Visit Rochester, famed for its stunning castle, cathedral, and Dickensian heritage — particularly magical during the festive season.

Newcastle

With its striking architecture, warm northern welcome, and lively cultural scene, Newcastle is a city that surprises and delights. Stroll across the Tyne Bridge, explore the Quayside, or enjoy some retail therapy in Eldon Square. Newcastle’s blend of history and modern vibrancy makes it an unforgettable destination.

Manchester

A hub of creativity, shopping, and entertainment, Manchester is the perfect city for a short break. Explore the Northern Quarter’s independent boutiques, visit the Manchester Art Gallery, or take a festive stroll through the city’s famous Christmas Market, one of the biggest in the UK.
