Thinking of planning your first caravan holidays? You're joining a growing group. Brits have always had a love for the great outdoors – exploring nature, whether in the countryside or out on a beach, is a great way to get away the trials and tribulations of everyday life and to bond with friends and family in a laidback environment, writes editor Victoria Galligan.

With UK residents set to head off on a combined 70 million trips abroad this year, the 13.3 million dog owners throughout the UK may be surprised to find out just how much money they could be saving if they simply took their dog away with them. With the UK spending upwards of 1.5 billion pounds on alternative dog accommodation each year, it’s no wonder that the kennel business is heavily booming.
