After weeks of chilly weather, heavy rain and a seemingly unceasing wind, a holiday in June is an immensely appealing idea – preferably somewhere warm.
Head to southern France’s Languedoc region for lazy days in the sun, flitting between medieval towns and the Mediterranean coast. Keep the pace slow as you cruise around the Adriatic, dropping anchor at some of Croatia’s most beautiful islands.
Join the Midsummer festivities in Sweden on a fly-drive break that includes Stockholm and an island in the Baltic Sea. Go further afield with a self-drive holiday in eastern Canada and explore national parks as well as Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City.
If you’re holidaying in the UK, hole up in a farm cottage near Cornwall’s Helston River, or go hiking in the Brecon Beacons. Whatever type of break you want in June, these holidays will inspire you.
