Explore the UK with Regatta Great Outdoors
Heritage sites, rural attractions — there’s plenty to discover across the English countryside. However, Great Britain has a well earned reputation for wet and windy weather, so it’s wise to come prepared wherever you’re heading. That’s why De Vere & Regatta Great Outdoors have partnered up to provide one lucky winner with a one night family stay at a De Vere hotel and £250 worth of Regatta outdoor clothing.
If you’re planning on getting outdoors and exploring somewhere new in the near future (or even better, if you’re the lucky winner of our competition), some new outdoor clothing will be a welcome treat. How about a new walking jacket? Or maybe a nice warm fleece for the kids? Here are some outdoor essentials that’ll help you make the most of your break.
The Waterproof Jacket: A British Staple
Since 1981, Regatta Great Outdoors have continuously developed their selection of outdoor jackets, stocking key pieces such as waterproof jackets, insulated jackets and more, built from the ground up with their very own in-house technologies.
Raincoats are as important for the school run as they are for hill walking, and there’s plenty of styles for each occasion. Quilted jackets are an excellent choice for the classic countryside leisure look, whereas outer shells are perfect for hiking over prolonged periods and handling changing climates.
Step In Style
Rugged footwear is another essential for a countryside ramble, with boots being the go-to style for many. They’re excellent for avoiding nasty knocks and preventing any rain from seeping through into your socks.
Regatta’s range of technical walking boots have enabled ramblers of all generations to delve deeper into the fells for decades. Their line-up includes everything from classic full-grain leather all the way to technical endurance mesh, each of which are adequately equipped to accompany on your journey as you discover the countryside of historic Britain.
The Versatile Fleece
The fleece is one of the foundation pieces of outdoor attire. Plenty has changed since they first became popular, with modern fleeces even being able to be made entirely from recycled plastic (including Regatta’s very own Honestly Made range).
They’re great to wear for everyday leisure, especially when eating al fresco or enjoying a cup of coffee outside the cafe, helping take the edge off of any breezy weather. Equally, they’re also handy to layer underneath your jacket for some well-needed warmth.
Whether you’re exploring the rural grounds of De Vere Latimer Estate or the 30 acres complete with Victorian arboretum at De Vere Tortworth Court, don’t let the weather stop you from making the most of your visit. There are plenty of trails, gardens and grounds to make your experience memorable, combined with country estates rich in history to appreciate.
