where can you go in uk for a cheap holiday with the kids?

Answer 1

check out Cornwall... great weather and beaches

Answer 2

Depends on where you are but North Wales is good. It has beaches, mountains, an island or two and lots of things for kids to see and do like; Sea zoos, model villages, small trains and parks. Many things that don't cost much and that make a good day out with a picnic. Rent a holiday cottage like mine lol! - visit Englishcountry cottages.co.uk and you'll find some good bargain weeks and as everything is within about 50 miles or so you can get to see so much in a short time. Access is easy as well as the main A55 is an expressway that links the M56 with the whole of the North Wales coast.

Answer 3

You could go to one of the resorts like Butlins which might be cheap but then I expect everything is expensive once you get there. The best thing to do is to rent a flat or apartment for a week or however long you want. Anywhere you go can be reasonably cheap if you avoid all the tourist areas.

Answer 4

The Sussex coast is nice - there are plenty of cheap campsites, B&Bs and of course Butlins Bognor if you want a 'package' with everything near. If you have a car there are loads of cheap kiddy things to do-
- Brighton seafront
- Bodium castle
-Battle (Battle of Hastings- Abbey and 'experience')
-Eastbourne
-Beachy Head lightouse
-Cuckmere Haven nature walks
-Bluebell railway
Plus if it rains Brighton and Eastbourne have good shopping and 'indoor' things to do. The pubs and so forth are good for parents and family friendly along the coast.

I spend lots of holidays there as a kid and go back there now. It really is the best if you cannot afford the continent.

Answer 5

I dont have a clue....ive been looking on every site i can find trying to see if i could get a cheap holiday in the uk....cant believe how expensive just a caravan holiday in Weymouth etc is £600+ and im only in Winchester, Hampshire!! I'll need to check your answers to see if i can get any ideas from them!!!!

Answer 6

I've just got back from South Wales with my kids we went on a sun holiday you know the offer in the sun newspaper had a fantastic week for 4 for under £200 pounds. Good luck

Answer 7

A campsite will be the cheapest holiday option, most kids love camping & many campsites have great facilities for children.

Pontins, Butlins etc are also good but unless you book them with a newspaper offer they aren't cheap.

Answer 8

Conway in North Wales. Apart from the sea and sand there are many walks over the mountains that will keep them entertained without costing too much.You could also go camping in a tent it will be an adventure for the kids.

Answer 9

Camping in Kielder or the Scottish borders was always a fave when I was little. Really cheap, meet loadsa other kids to play with at camp sites and you can always have BBQ's etc which the kids will love!

Good luck and Have Fun!

Answer 10

A lot of the time it is cheaper to go abroad than it is to holiday in Britain, just do your research,shop around and use the Internet also check your travel agent for last minute deals as sometimes theses are real bargains.

Answer 11

I would recommend Devon, or Cornwall.

Paignton, in south Devon is great for families. There are some good beaches and lots of things to do if it rains. You can visit Torquay and Brixham and Dartmouth while you are there, contact the Devon tourist board for information on each. There is something for everyone.

Don't forget to try the Devon clotted cream teas!!!

Have a great time.
