7. North West England - £18.00pp per night
North West England is a one-stop-destination for all the family to enjoy, with plenty to do. You could travel to Liverpool and immerse yourself in music history at The Beatles Museum, then the next day, you can venture into the sunny seaside town of Blackpool, where you can meet your favourite celebrities at Madame Tussauds, ride The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, all polished off with some sugared donuts from the pier.
