What Sol is for
Sol is being built to help you plan sunny weekend breaks from UK cities and towns, starting with the time you have. A short break from Manchester might mean the Yorkshire coast by train or North Wales by car; a longer window could open up a trip by plane. The right choice depends on your dates, the weather and the whole journey, including connections and transfers. Start with our sunny weekend guide, or browse breaks from your UK city for ideas closer to your starting point. For darker months, our winter sun from the UK guide explores places to consider when you want more daylight and warmth. These guides offer inspiration rather than a promise of sunshine. Check the forecast, travel times and accommodation availability for your dates before booking, and leave enough time to enjoy being there.
