"To me a staycation means staying at home and going off for day trips.
Anywhere else is a holiday. I like going on holiday to Scotland (west coast).
 semantics eh?"
logistics.
Norfolk is pretty nice too (depending on the wind). |

Grrrr.
Staycation is a word that was hijacked by the media and travel industry during the pandemic and completely misused.
I first came across it around 20 odd years ago when my sister-in-law (who is Canadian) would use it.
What it ACTUALLY means is that you STAY at home and go on days out within a reasonable distance of your home - not going on holiday in the same country - because that is a VACATION - as in you VACATE your home. |

My mum is in Norfolk so I know the north coast really well. Gorgeous. |

A few of my fav places which are all coastal in the UK are Hunstanton in East Anglia, Perranporth in Cornwall, Harlech/Porthmadog in North Wales, Tyne & Wear and surrounding area in the North East and Largs/Loch Lomand and surrounding area in west of Scotland. All of these places for me aren't about shopping, rides or entertainment but have some great scenery and nature locations to explore, relax and take photos of.
I still need to visit the Lake District and would love to do the North Coast 500 |
