lh82 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 So as the title says we would like to take the children away for a few nights towards the end of the month. Fed up of the usual Skegness / Bridlington / Scarborough / Mablethorpe etc! Does anyone have any suggestions for nice places not to far away with enough entertainment for the kids? We also love the lakes but thinking a little closer to home. Thank you in advance for any suggestions Sorry, forgot to say, kids are 3,7 and 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Where is home first of all. Sheffield? Centreparcs does short breaks but can be pricey but good facilities for children and lots to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 What about the North West? You've got the seaside of Southport, beautiful beaches at Formby, Ainsdale and Wirral, as well as the benefits of Liverpool and all the galleries, museums and other attractions, plus Chester is a short train journey away. Get a family rail ticket as all the above are well served by the Merseyrail train network. This thread covers loads to do in the area: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1180472 And for accomodation there's a few caravan parks, or plenty of hotels and B&Bs.

llamatron Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 whitby/robin hoods bay you can go fossil hunting at whitby on the small pebbly beach (I found a good one). There are sandy beaches with caves on the main beach and Robin hoods bay for rock pools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
