3 places in the UK to take the family in 2019

Family time is incredibly special and precious. The nature of modern life means that we often spend family time in front of devices and screens instead of out and about enjoying adventures together, so it’s important to get away. A staggering £6.4 trillion is spent in the travel and tourism sector every year – but where to go? What to do? And how do you keep everyone in the family happy? 

If you are heading to the UK, we have found three exciting places to take the family to create memories that none of you will ever forget. 
​

​1. The Yorkshire Coast 

The perfect family break requires a blend of comfort, outdoor adventure and relaxation. The Yorkshire coast has all of those things and if you get the weather, it is one of the most beautiful spots on earth.

The beaches, caves and hidden coves of Flamborough, the history and culture of wonderful Whitby and the charm of Filey are all worth visiting and that's without even touching upon the incredible wildlife on show at Bempton and the revival that Scarborough is enjoying.

There are some fantastic cliff-top walks which will get the children away from their screens for a few hours. There are excellent restaurants, some of the best fish-and-chip shops in the country, and if the children claim they are getting bored, you have got the Flamingo Land theme park just up the road.

2. The West of Scotland

This is a truly stunning part of the United Kingdom with great cities, incredible lakes and mountains, and a wondrous coastline. Start your family trip in Glasgow, where you can soak up all this magnificent city has to offer – including incredible theatre, music and culture, fantastic restaurants and things to do.

Once you have visited the many brilliant places in Glasgow (don't miss the Kelvingrove Art Gallery or the Transport Museum by the way) drive an hour north to Loch Lomond. It is a place you can easily fall in love with. There are lots of spots to camp around the shore and the views are just magnificent.

Pack the car back up and drive up to Oban on the coast to catch the ferry across to the Isle of Mull. There you can soak up some history and Scottish culture. Take plenty of spray for the midges if you are going in May or June and you will have an incredible time.

3. Windsor

Famous, of course, for its historic castle and its role in the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Windsor is a brilliant family destination. Of course, the castle is the centrepiece and the tour around it will delight all ages. But the parks around Windsor are also fantastic for children and for having picnics in the sunshine.

Stop by 'The Two Brewers' pub in the shadow of the castle for the best lunch in the town and then to keep the kids happy with a trip to Legoland, which is just 10 minutes up the road.
