Activity Holidays in England

Activity breaks and holidays

Jump into something fun and pick an activity to experience on an adventure holiday! Along the coast there are schools for surfing in Cornwall, and coasteering adventures in Exmoor. If you’d rather stay dry, there’s always learning to steer your own boat, or kayaking over the open waves.
Alternatively you could keep your feet firmly on the ground with some outdoor activities, and go walking or hiking in the ancient woodlands of Nottingham, or the Forest of Dean with its own sculpture trail. There are cycle routes for the intrepid and also for families, going through tunnels and along the seaside cliffs. Trek the North York Moors with huskies, or head down to Bournemouth and dance the days away at the Pavilion. Make your activity holiday great in England.
