There’s something about January that makes us all want to travel.

Maybe it’s waving Christmas farewell for another 12 months or a sudden return to the daily grind, but come the second week of the year and our browser history is suddenly full of Honolua Bay Surf Shacks and backwater trails across the Amazon.

The problem is, a month of festivities and overpriced mulled wine tend to leave January bank balances looking less jetsetter and more Netflix night in.

Not to fear! We’ve put together our list of mini adventures in the UK that are low in dough and crazy big in adrenaline. We promise to have you back at your desk by 9am Monday.
