As we all know the British weather can be unpredictable and whether it be spring, summer, autumn or winter when packing for a holiday in the UK you need to be prepared for all types of weather. So, how can you pack for a holiday without having to take bags and bags of clothing with you?

The answer to this question is to pack clothes that are multi-purpose and that can be layered up if the weather becomes chilly as it often does in the evenings. Walking trousers that can be zipped off to make them into shorts and jackets that have a fleecy layer that can be removed when the weather gets warmer are ideal for a holiday and reduces the need for additional items of clothing.

It is important to think about the type of holiday you are taking and only take clothes that are suitable, for example, if you and your family rarely go to restaurants for meals you make not need to take more dressy items of clothing and if you enjoy spending days on the beach most of the day you may be in swimwear.

When it comes to footwear a pair of good quality sandals for walking and a comfortable pair of trainers may be all you will need but a pair of cheap flip flops or crocs for the beach may be a good idea.
