Holidays are a precious time of nourishment for families and this book
will lead parents to a whole host of wonderful experiences for all ages
across the UK that focus on the local, the authentic, the sustainable,
the educational and the damn good fun. It's also a little black book of
the most authentic, interesting and child-friendly places to stay and
eat.Seasoned family travellers and travel writers Jane Anderson and
Holly Tuppen present their hand-picked selection of places to go, things
to see and activities to do across the country, from wildlife and
star-gazing on The Scilly Isles, Guernsey and Sark to foraging and wild
swimming in the Cairngorms. Stomps and bike rides in the New Forest,
organic farming in Somerset, ranger-led tours in Kent, kayaking and
stand-up paddleboarding in Devon, eco-activities in Bristol, baking in
Wales, city regeneration in Liverpool, Swallows and Amazons in the Lake
District, Dracula in Yorkshire and wildlife photography in
Northumberland are all included. In Scotland experiences cover Dumfries
and Galloway, Edinburgh, the Cairngorms and the Isle of Lewis and the
Outer Hebrides, with everything from forest adventure activities to
dolphins, whales and basking sharks on offer.There is a longing amongst
parents to take their children on UK holidays that are nourishing for
the soul, that take children out of the digital world, slow down and
appreciate nature, culture, arts, history, food and fellow human beings.
This may be a 'slow' guide but it lacks nothing in excitement!
