Survival Holidays
These days, more and more families are choosing to leave their passports at home to rediscover the simple but bountiful pleasures that a UK holiday brings – and the South West offers some of the most stunningly beautiful locations and first-class facilities in which to enjoy them.
Go West! Cornwall
Cornwall is a firm favourite for family holidays and with over 300 beaches, countless attractions and every type of activity a child could dream of, it’s little surprise. Tiniest toddlers to the coolest of teenagers will fall in love with this unique peninsula and discover the natural playground which has been the background to childhood holidays for generations.
All ages will enjoy simple pleasures such as paddling in the sea, rock- pooling and building sandcastles, whilst the pace steps up with off road cycle routes and all manner of activities from kayaking to wild bushcraft sessions. As mini adventurers test their nerve on England’s longest zipwire which towers over the famous Eden Project biomes, inquisitive young minds can delight in
stories of heroes and villains at one of Cornwall’s castles or take a legendary step onto the magical St Michael’s Mount. Then of course there’s the ultimate must-do when in Cornwall – surfing! So don a wetsuit and hit the wet stuff. You’ll find expert surf schools dotted along the coast and with grandparents as likely to be riding the waves as their younger counterparts, this is one activity for the whole family.
And the fun doesn’t stop when you go indoors – family-friendly accommodation is Cornwall’s speciality. Experience life in the countryside and see your little ones faces light up as they meet the animals by staying on a farm, opt for the ultimate in comfort and quality at an everything-thought-of hotel where looking after children comes as second nature, or let the children run free and savour the luxury of having your own space by taking the self-catering or camping option.
