The Best of British Sport

Enjoy the spectacle to the full.

British Sports 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.

Top Five British Sporting Holiday Destinations

British Grand Prix, Silverstone
The British Grand Prix is the highlight of the motor sport calendar in Britain, and there is nowhere finer for glamour and excitement. The earlier you book, the better the deals, but excitement is guaranteed.

Grand National, Aintree
The Grand National is the most impressive horse race in the world. 40 runners face some of the most unique and challenging fences a race-horse has to deal with, and there is always plenty of action over the 3 day meeting.

Wimbledon Championships, London
The two weeks of Wimbledon are the highlight in the global tennis calendar. Accommodation is always in huge demand, so book early, but who could resist two weeks of strawberries, Champaign and the world's best tennis?

It also means that you need not fight the crowds either on entry or exit, making the whole experience an absolute joy.
