Devon
Devon is one of the UK’s most beautiful destinations and is packed full of activities for the whole family. You have the great British seaside to enjoy, plenty of pretty countryside to explore, watersports for the thrill seekers and restaurants serving dishes with the tastiest ingredients. The English Riviera has the best family resorts where the whole family are sure to not get bored on your familymoon, including the parents. If you like to visit a bustling city as well, you are in luck with Devon as you can visit Plymouth or Exeter.
ACCOMMODATION RECOMMENDATION – TALACRE BEACH RESORT, AXMINSTER
A 5-star Tourist Board award winning retreat that blends the traditional seaside holiday with a contemporary twist. It has direct access to the beach and is close to Snowdonia National Park.
Northumberland
Northumberland filled with ancient castles; hidden gardens; unspoilt beaches; rolling hills; rugged moorland; sweeping views; friendly little market towns and a cultural heritage all of its own. You can visit here anytime of the year as it always looks so special. In the spring and summer months, you have the sun shining away. The autumn you have the coloured leaves giving a special vibe on your countryside walks. During the winter months, the county becomes a winter wonderland – the younger children may think that they have arrived at Lapland. For something very special, Kielder Water and Forest Park is home to Europe’s largest Dark Sky Park where you can all get cosy together under the stars to see them like you never have before.
Accommodation recommendation – Landal Kielder Waterside, Kielder Water and Forest Park
Whether you are a thrill seeker or searching for a relaxing break create your magical moments at Kielder. Take part inmountain bike trails and leisurely strolls through the forest for something a little slower.
The Peak District
From amazing countryside walks and scenic cycling trails, to spectacular rock-climbing opportunities and quaint country villages. There are endless things to do here that will leave you still wanting more time to see everything. The Peak District is most known for its natural beauty, which is great for those who like being in the great outdoors at whatever pace. A natural beauty that is a little different here can be found underground at Pooles Cavern. You can explore the vast limestone caverns to see how crystal stalactites have lined the chambers over millions of years. The children will be mesmerised by what they are seeing here.

There are lots of National Trust properties for you to visit and a day trip to Bath is a must! A city with the most unique atmosphere and beautiful architecture all around. There is a motor museum and a naval aircraft museum that believe me, children (and adults) of all ages love visiting
