Travel
Taking a break away is always fun, but getting there isn't, especially if you have to drive. National Express have coach services that will take you virtually anywhere. It is easy to find out from their web site whether they have a service to where you want to go, how long it would take and how much it would cost.
Travelling by train is fine, but choosing the right ticket can be really complicated - there are so many options. The way to make it simpler is to book via thetrainline or raileasy. Like other rail scheduling web sites, they find your train and tell you what you need to know about the journey time, train changes and so on. They also tell you about the ticket and fares options. Prebooking through one of these sites can save around 40% compared with buying your ticket at the station.
