With the economy still seemingly in a slump and the return of the British winter on the horizon, many Britons are understandably feeling depressed and low on cash. Taking a holiday at this time of year is one of those luxuries many people enjoy and it helps them to feel better at a harsh time of the year.

This year fewer of us will be able to afford a week or two in the sun to get away from it all and recharge.However, short breaks are becoming more and more affordable all the time and are well worth taking.

Short breaks can be taken either in the UK or abroad in many European countries. They are a great way of recharging the batteries and escaping the doom and gloom of the British winter without breaking the bank. Short breaks like the attractive ones on offer at activitybreaks.com are many and varied. Whether it is an all action weekend or a chilled out day or two, there is a short activity break for you, your family and, most importantly, your budget.

It is a well known fact that getting away from it all and having a change in routine can bring many benefits to people suffering from stress or exhaustion. Changing your routine and allowing yourself to have fun does wonders for the body and mind and can leave you feeling like a different person who is ready to take on the world. This is why short breaks are so popular. In an increasingly stressful world where we worry about our families, job security and money, short breaks are an oasis of calm relaxation.

We have many short breaks to various destinations available on our website. If you’re looking to recharge your batteries abroad for a few days – or even in the UK – come and take a look at our short break selections.
