From the wild landscapes of the Lake District to the metropolitan charms of world-class cities such as Manchester and Liverpool or the traditional charms of seaside resorts such as Southport, our writers – many of them locally based – have reviewed the cream of what Northwest England has to offer for family holidays and breaks. From glamping beside a lake in the glorious Ribble Valley to the tacky fun of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, we showcase this incredibly diverse region from a parent's-eye view.
