FOR ALL THE FAMILY
With half-time arriving, as too do our needs to enjoy the last remaining rays of sunshine of the year
GLAMPING LOCATIONS
Glamping has become very well-established in recent years, and encompasses the entire experience of luxury in the great outdoors. Basically the posh version of camping, here are some of the best glamping spots in the UK today: Little Seed Field, Ripon, North Yorkshire. The Wildings, Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire. Hill Top Huts, Middleton in Teesdale, County Durham. Tan-y-Capel Hideaway, Pwllheli, North Wales. Wheems Organic Farm, Orkney, Scottish Isles.
THE COTSWOLDS
Picturesque is perhaps the first word which comes to mind when thinking of the Cotswolds. Famous for some of the most beautiful villages in all of the UK, including Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bibury, the Cotswolds might just be one of the most perfect places to be visiting, and staying, this autumn, either as a family, a couple, or alone. Offering traditional, charming and quaint characteristics, along with fantastic places to eat and drink and an abundance of rural walks and activities to embrace, the Cotswold is a winner all round.
STONEHENGE
Perhaps the most famous collection of prehistoric monuments in the entire world, Stonehenge is a phenomenon which captures the imagination like no other, encompassed as it is by own its mystery. Said to have been built in several stages, the first monument is estimated to have been erected approximately 5000 years ago. During the early Bronze Age many burial mounds were built nearby making this not only a sight to behold but an educational and inspirational trip for the youngsters especially.
ZOOS AND WILDLIFE PARKS
There are around 300 licenced zoos in the UK, each of them offering an abundance of wonder to childrens’ imaginations everywhere. Last year was a tough year for many zoos and wildlife parks across the UK, since they can be very expensive to run. But there are still plenty operating healthily with happy and chipper animals at the ready to welcome any new visitor to their home.
