Summer Holidays are becoming extremely popular in Britain and consequently holiday resorts featuring self-catering log cabins are springing up all over the country.

Lake district in the north west with its 16 lakes, 53 tarns and several ‘water’ is one of the most popular destinations for log cabin summer holidays UK. Here visitors will find both England’s deepest lake, Wast Water and its largest, Windermere and can enjoy boating journeys like those offered on the Ullswater Streamer. The district also features England’s only true mountain range, the Lakeland Fells. All of the fells boast brilliant hiking trails and all can be walked, including the highest peak, Scafel Pike. Spend a quiet morning at Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth Museum before visiting the 900 year old Carlisle Castle, if outdoor activities are not for you. The 12th century Norman keep, Appleby castle and the Keswick Museum are also must-sees and no-one should miss the opportunity to ride on the narrow-gauge steam Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.

Another great destination for log cabin summer holidays UK is Scotland. Those with a taste for mystery should holiday at Loch Ness in the Scottish highlands and look for the elusive Monster. They can also visit the medieval Urquhart Castle, while they are there or try the Slopes at the Nevis Ski Range. Outdoor activities at Loch Ness include deer stalking but it is in the Jedburgh Borders Area that River Tweed trout and salmon fishing is all the rage. The Borders Area also offers the beautiful Northumberland Park as well as trips to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. You may even see the northern lights from your cabin if you are lucky. This gorgeous area offers Pony trekking, land yachting and daytrips to the Orkney Islands, Scapa Flow’s naval museum and the Atlantic Salmon Leap at Shin Falls.

Perhaps the most peaceful summer holidays are those in the south west where Deven and Cornwall boast more blog cabins than any other region in England. Explore South Devons’ unspoilt Blackpool Sands Cove and the Dartmoor torts and then settle in for some birdwatching at Slapton Sands. In North Devon, nothing can be better than the 180 miles of walking trails that make up the Tarka Trail and, in Exmoor, the Exmoor National Park with its Beast of Exmoor phantom cat beckons. Further attractions include the West Somerset Railway’s steam train excursions and Dunster’s Medieval Yarn Market.
