Let's face it, sometimes going on holiday is actually quite stressful.
Which is quite the opposite of what I think most people want for a little escape, so when I was planning a weekend away I started looking a little closer to home. In fact, just an hour away. Rhuddlan in North Wales is a tiny town nestled in the shadow of castle ruins and perfect for two days drenched in a beautiful May heatwave.
It is just 50 minutes drive from my front door (without traffic) and for some reason, this made me feel very relaxed about the whole break from the start. I know staycations have been a 'thing' for a while now, but even if you are choosing to holiday in the UK you can sometimes feel the pressure to go as far as possible from your house.
