This time of year can be challenging for many of us, especially after the stress and excitement of the christmas and new year period.
However, a mini-break or visit to one of the many beauty spots in Nottinghamshire could be the answer.
And with reports suggesting January is the busiest month of the year for holiday bookings, those booking a break away will not be alone.
Visit Nottinghamshire is encouraging people to take a look at Nottinghamshire’s mini-break potential as part of a promotional campaign for January to help people beat their new year blues.
Kinga Kapias, Visit Nottinghamshire marketing and communications manager, said: “Historically, it’s certainly true January can be a little quieter for the hospitality and tourism sector.
“That’s why we’re encouraging people to book their stay in Nottinghamshire this January and get away.
“Whether you’re looking for a little pick me up spa weekend to ease the January blues, or to book something to look forward to, we’re encouraging visitors to consider Nottinghamshire as their choice.
“It’s also a great way to support local independent businesses and jobs.
For those looking to book their next mini-break and feel good this January, see visit-nottinghamshire.co.uk/whats-on/book-your-stay-and-get-away-this-january for more information.
5. Nottinghamshire's spa scene
Freshfield Spa & Wellness Centre in Carlton Road, Worksop, offers yoga sessions, meditation, and a range of spa treatments and retreat day options. Visit Nottinghamshire has recommended Eden Hall Spa on Elston Village and The Spa at Ye Olde Bell, located just off the A1 on the border of three counties. And The Urban Escape Spa is another 'must visit' on their list, based in the 4-star Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nottingham City Centre. There are plenty of spas to explore in the county.

6. Discover our history
Robin Hood is one of the world’s most famous legends from our neck of the woods. And the county is littered with landmarks from the legends of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, from the dungeons of the Old County Gaol where he was held captive by the Sheriff of Nottingham, to the church where he wed his beloved Maid Marian. Visitors can also walk in Robin Hood’s shoes through Sherwood Forest to see his hideout, the Major Oak. Photo: Visit Nottinghamshire
