Holidays in the UK have been developing a better image over the past few years, and one of the ways this has occurred is through the redevelopment of unusual holiday destinations. These unusual destinations, of course, still have to live up to health and safety standards or a holiday accident claim may be the result.
It is now possible to rent out a 100-foot lighthouse, for example, and spend a seaside holiday in one of the most unusual residences available. Alternatively, the Landmark Trust offers a guide to historical venues around the UK, including one with access to a smugglers' cave, and other tour operators will be quick to produce their unusual locations on request.
The fact of the surroundings being unusual, however, may make it worthwhile for those responsible for safety in those surroundings to draw attention to any risks, thus minimising the chance of holiday injury as far as is possible.
This means, in the case of the lighthouse, mentioning the steep stairs and ship-style ladders before booking, for example. Similarly, the Landmark Trust, dealing with historic buildings, warns that their properties may have "awkward stairs or other oddities".
Other unusual destinations come with risks of holiday accidents such as steep slopes, deep lakes and - in the case of a converted railway station - similar risks of falling on to the railway line as in an active station, although, of course, without the risks of passing trains.
This is not to say that such destinations are inherently dangerous, of course; simply that unusual buildings may have unusual risks, which holidaymakers should be aware of and which holiday providers should alert their charges to.
