Good afternoon! This afternoon on ‘Holiday of the week’, I want to tell you about a fantastic holiday I went on last summer.  I went to Surrey and although it just a short distance from London, it is completely different.  The landscape is beautiful and there are lots of places to visit.  Now, I found the best way to get there from London, was by train.  It’s only 40 minutes and trains leave very frequently from London Waterloo.  I visited it at the best time of year, in May, you see in Spring, all of the flowers start to come out and everything looks really pretty.

Surrey is a great place to go with the family.  I took my two children and we loved riding down the Thames.  The scenery is beautiful and the paths are perfect for cycling.  While we were there, I stayed in a cottage but there are many hotels and bed and breakfasts to choose from.  In spring, it’s important to book in advance as Surrey is a popular place to visit that time of year.

Most of the towns in the area have water sport centres when you can have sailing or canoeing lessons.  A one day sailing course is £58 and a two day canoeing course is £45.  There is also a deposit of £30 which you get back at the end of the course. 

If you’re not into sports then there are other activities you can do, like photography or guided bike rides.  The leaders take you into the Surrey hills so be prepared to cycle a lot! If you’re not into either, then you can also try bird watching. 

Try to plan your holiday when there is a local event on.  When we went in May, there was the famous French farmers market and a week later, at the beginning of June, there’s the international festival of music.  There’s not a lot going on from September until February but I believe there are other festivals every March.
