Kids love UK Holiday Breaks
I love to holiday in the UK. As a child we were lucky and always got to goa broad for holidays. As an adult with a car, I very much enjoy spending a week in Devon or a weekend in Shropshire catching up on what the UK has to offer. The best holidays have to be UK family holidays. Days knocking hammers on rocks trying to find fossils off the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. Or great family days out jumping on surfboards to ride out in Cornwall. One of my favourite UK family trips is to Wales. I love to drive along the coast with the breathtaking backdrop of Snowdonia national park. There is a fantastic and beautiful route from Dolgellau to Barmouth which takes you along the Mawddach Estuary. It is a seaside harbour resort that still holds much of its 19th century charm. The children can never wait until they get to keap of rocks into the harbour waters and swim around with the very tame dolphins. From there we move onto Porthmadog - leading to the Llyn Peninsula. Using up unspent energy is an aim when we visit here. Cycling, skateboarding and any other out door activities are our preferences. This is our ‘wear em out’ part of the holiday as we buy local fish and chips for dinner, get the kids to bed and then sink a couple of bottles of wine to remind us that its our turn to relax too. Up sharp the next day to take in Anglesy sea zoo, then off to the beach to make sandcastles and a spot of crabbing. The next stage of the holiday is to trip out to Beaumaris (winner of the 2003 rural Seaside award). It is filled with a Medieval Castle, antique shops, pubs and more. with a lovely rustic feel to the town. When there, we like to go shopping and get ice-creams for the kids as well as play at being Medieval Knights and princesses. Exploring the UK must never be dismissed as a holiday option. Obviously, prepare for any weather eventuality. Once you get your head round that you can only have a wonderful time.
