Summer in the UK… the time for long evening walks in the countryside and sunny days on the beach. This company is based in a small town perfectly positioned to enjoy these traditional British countryside pursuits: to the east lies the Peak District, while to the west are the beautiful remote beaches of northern Wales. For those rare days when the British weather is unobliging, the behemoth cultural duo of Liverpool and Manchester are also within easy striking distance. The town itself is an attractive market town, with good transport connections and easily commutable from either neighbouring city.
