Jorvik Museum, York
This museum is a must for every visitor to York, bursting with fascinating facts and exciting stories. See artefacts that have been found in York itself, from treasure hoards to everyday items. Learn about the people of the past and discover what life would have been like in Viking Britain. It’s sure to keep the kids entertained for hours.
Woodland Walks, New Forest
Get out in the fresh air with a walk through these beautiful woodlands. There are plenty of paths through the woods, like the Radnor and Knightswood trails, where you can search for the Queen of the Forest, the largest oak in the woods with a width of over 7m! If you’re lucky, you might see some of the beautiful New Forest ponies too. Build a den. Have a picnic. Play hide-and-seek. The forest is the perfect playground for adventurous kids.
Sailing, Cannes
For stunning views of the southern French coastline and activities that the whole family will love, head to the French Riviera and book a Classic Yacht Sailing in Cannes trip with our partners Tripbeat. The trip allows you plenty of time to snorkel, paddle board and swim in the sea with the almost-guaranteed good weather of the Mediterranean summer.
Yr Wyddfa, Wales
For those who need to burn off some steam, why not hike to the top of the highest mountain in Wales. Located in Eryri National Park, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) stands at 1,085 metres tall, and the Llanberis path is the easiest route to the summit. Even in summer it’s important to be prepared for unpredictable weather, and of course carry plenty of food and treats to keep everyone fully fuelled!

Azure waters and golden sands, Scilla is a fantastic beach in Calabria, right at the toe of Italy. There’s plenty of places to rent parasols and beach chairs from, so you can relax in comfort as you look out over the stunning views and build sandcastles with the kids. The town is also a great spot to explore, with an ancient castle, fascinating Duomo and plenty of restaurants serving up the fresh swordfish that Scilla is renowned for.
