Family breaks and holidays

There’s plenty to do on family holidays in England. From the dizzying rides of a vintage fairground in Devon, to glamping at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, you can find child-friendly activities for all kind of weather and at all times of year. Spend time together on a family weekend break, and learn something new alongside the kids with educational trips to the coast, where you can find fossils or follow a pirate on an adventure around Bristol. There are magical experiences to be had on a budget too, with enchanting forests and family-friendly cycle paths providing great spaces for exploration. Fresh air and a run-around will tire them out before you return to bed down in your woodland lodge or family wig wam.
With accommodation, activities, and adventure all waiting, there has never been a better time to plan a family break in England.
