Theme parks
Roll up, roll up, step right this way! All the fun of the fair is on offer on theme park holidays. Mixing the eccentricity of traditional Victorian attractions with the modernity and sleek thrill rides of rollercoasters, there is much to be enjoyed on theme park breaks. Spin around, upside down and back to front, eat candyfloss and toffee-apples, and make sure you pack a change of clothes in case the water ride delivers more splash for your cash than first anticipated. Everyone has a scream at theme parks in England.
