The UK's wide variety of coastline and countryside means that holidays here can be enjoyed without enduring airport queues or meeting the expense of overseas travel. Cornwall's sand and surf or Scotland's mountains and lochs are within easy reach for most.

Numerous organisations offer holidays during which God's creation can be enjoyed in the company of fellow-believers. Voluntary activities range from hillwalking to watercolour-painting, from sailing to sunbathing, from pottery to ski-ing. Most will include an element of Bible teaching.

Holidays may be geared to families or to the needs of adults, singles, elderly or disabled people. Whatever holiday requirements you or your family may have, there is likely to be at least one Christian holiday in the UK that will satisfy them.
