A travel loving family with lots of adventures to share

Day 1: Tapas lunch and a relaxing afternoon at La Perla Spa Arriving at lunchtime, we stopped for a lovely lunch at the lively and bustling Casa Valles Restaurant. Traditional tapas dishes with an array of mouth-watering pintxos perfect with a… Continue reading Two days in San Sebastian
We’ve just returned from a sunny stay in Seville for October half term. It was an excellent choice for a city break with teenagers with enough to keep them engaged in between visiting some of the stunning architecture Andalucía has to offer. After finding some bargain BA flights (with terrible departure times), we decided on… Continue reading Visiting Seville with teenagers – a 4 night itinerary
This city has a crazy energy and a true love of football (the streets were literally covered in blue after a premiership win). It has a raw, unpolished charm unlike anywhere else we’ve visited in Italy. Often overlooked with tourists heading straight for the more glamorous towns on the coast, it’s definitely worth a visit… Continue reading Top things to do in Naples

With year-round sun, gorgeous beaches, fantastic family attractions and only a 2-hour flight from the UK, the Algarve is the perfect destination for a short break with kids. Making the most of the long weekend, we travelled over Easter and had four nights enjoying some much-needed sunshine. After two years of travelling within the UK… Continue reading A short break in the Algarve with kids in April
A brilliant start to the new year and just what we needed to blow the cobwebs away after a late night, a beautiful walk in the fresh forest air. Mallards Pike is a gorgeous spot for a picnic with plenty of benches around the lake and a little cafe serving snacks, cakes and hot drinks.… Continue reading Family walks in the Forest of Dean – Mallards Pike
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
We’ve just returned from a fantastic week exploring the beautiful Cardigan Bay. After many trips to Pembrokeshire and the Gower we couldn’t wait to explore this part of Wales. Although our foreign holidays have been on hold for a while it has been a great opportunity to see more of the UK and luckily, we… Continue reading Our family holiday in Cardigan Bay
Another great place to go for a family walk when the weather is hot, Symonds Yat is a beautiful area to visit for the day. We decided to park down on the riverside at the Wyedean Canoe & Adventure Centre, Symonds Yat East and then follow the shady woodland trail along the river to Biblins… Continue reading Family walks in the Forest of Dean – Symonds Yat
