Grab your shades and escape with the kids for summer activities on the beach, from surfing frothy waves to building sand castles whilst cooling down with an ice cream. Spend summer holidays in England hunting for fossils along the Jurassic Coast, or spotting dolphins on the Lizard peninsula. Lose yourself to the sounds of your favourite band at a music festival, or enjoy a Shakespearian play under the stars. Feel the summer breeze on your face as you explore scenic country paths on foot, two wheels or even four hooves, and finish off with a tall glass of something cool in the gardens of a country pub.
