The Family Holiday: Domestic Breaks

The family holiday can come in many different shapes and sizes and each family will have something slightly different on their holiday agenda. Depending on the age and interests of your children, their tolerance for long distance travel and the kind of holiday that you yourself are most likely to enjoy. Many family travellers find that one of the best options for a hassle free family holiday is to go for a domestic break.

There are a range of different locations within the United Kingdom that can cater for children and adults of all ages. Here’s a quick look at a few of our favourites:

Only a few decades ago, the camping holiday was one of the most popular ways to take a break as a family. Kids love the opportunity to get closer to nature and learn how to live in the great outdoors and frequently adults find that this kind of break is an effective way to get away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. However, camping holidays are heavily reliant on weather conditions and a more comfortable but equally fun alternative could be a caravan holiday. Companies such as Park Resorts provide easy to use facilities for those in search of hassle-free caravan parks and holidays all of which can be booked online.

Every child remembers the very first time they saw London. Our sprawling and spectacular capital has a huge amount to offer in terms of child and family friendly attractions. There are a range of museums that offer free entry to children under a certain age and there are also a certain number that organise child-based interactive exhibitions and activities throughout the year that provide both educational and enjoyable family holiday recreation.

Another great way to explore different areas of Britain is to invest in a National Trust family membership that will allow you to access a range of Britain’s most popular historical attractions. The vast majority of National Trust properties are fully equipped with family orientated services, from parks and playgrounds, theatrical events, child-friendly restaurant menus and opportunities to learn interactively about history and conservation.
