We love a city break in October half term and usually head somewhere cold and cosy in Europe but with constant changes in travel restrictions, we decided to stay closer to home and visit the beautiful city of York. There are so many museums and attractions to choose from, we had no trouble entertaining a… Continue reading Vikings, dungeons and foodie heaven – Visiting York with kids
Soudley Ponds in the Forest of Dean is one of our favourite places for a walk and picnic. It’s so unspoilt and hidden away from tourists, I almost don’t want to share it. With a few last days of summer sun, it was the perfect place to be for some cool, fresh forest air. There… Continue reading Family walks in the Forest of Dean – Soudley Ponds

This unique unfinished gothic property has beautiful grounds to explore with different trails… Continue reading Family walks in the Cotswolds – Woodchester Park

Even in Covid times, with most of the UK descending on the coasts of Britain for May half term, the beaches didn't feel crowded. Getting there early is a good idea to avoid traffic jams on the narrow country roads though.… Continue reading Family break in the Gower – finally some sunshine!

It… Continue reading An Easter family holiday in South East Devon
