Active Family Holidays in the UK

With heaps of fantastic destinations within easy reach of your doorstep wherever you live, and with staycations usually exerting less of a demand on your wallet than going abroad, the UK is far from second-best when it comes to active family holidays. For instance, you don’t have to go to Portugal, Morocco or further afield for surfing – Cornwall is just one of the places where you can take to the waves in the UK. In winter you can (sometimes) ski in Scotland, while increasingly family-friendly cycle routes and amenities mean you can rent a cottage, strap your bikes to the rack and head off for an active holiday at very little cost.

Many holiday parks all over the country have a huge array of activities on site, from climbing walls to bike hire, while the popularity of Center Parcs holiday villages is testament to the huge market for breaks where all the family can have fun trying out new activities and old favourites.
