The Best of British Sport
Enjoy the spectacle to the full.
Britain's long sporting history is filled with amazing tales of extraordinary feats, from the green outfield of Lords to the twisting tarmac of Silverstone. The historic venues and world renowned tournaments bring sports lovers from every corner of the globe, yet so many of us that call Britain home have yet to make the short trip to see them for ourselves. This year, let's make that change and witness part of British sporting history first hand.
English sport is known globally for its showcases, and with the London Olympics just around the corner, there has never been a better time to really take advantage of British sporting legacy. These showcases, from the Grand National to Cowes Week see the host regions absolutely at their best, with thousands converging from across the country in their finest moods of revelry. Taking a holiday home for the week adds a whole new dimension to visiting these events, allowing you to really get swept up in the atmosphere.

The annual Oxbridge Boat Race is a British sporting institution, dating back to 1829. The epic battle between the universities runs along the Thames in London, whose banks are filled with some 250,000 excitable spectators.

Although tickets to some of the larger British sporting showcases can be expensive, by taking a private holiday rental with your family or friends, the price per head for accommodation is hugely reduced, and you can relax in the mornings, knowing that your journey to the venue won't require getting up and out with the sunrise! It also means that you need not fight the crowds either on entry or exit, making the whole experience an absolute joy.
