Answer 1

I have said before and I will say it again (to anyone who will listen)

Try Cornwall. I love Cornwall, my best childhood memories are there! Here are some things i love to do while i'm there:

The Lost Gardens of Heligan (huge gardens restored to former glory, will take a whole day & tire out the kids)

Lands End is a must (although you have to pay, there is plenty for you & the kids)

Watergate Bay (just outside of Newquay a 3 mile long beautiful golden beach it doesnt cost anything)

Newquay Zoo (another great one for the kids)

Boscastle (village of the awful floods a couple of years ago but still a beautiful & livley, also has a witchcraft museum)

Tintagle (another one to tire the kids out and fill them full of magical history about King Arthur & Merlin)

Marazion - St Michales Mount (fab day out for you and the kids, if the tide is high you can get a boat to the mount, at low tide you can walk across the causeway)

Padstow (the home of Rick Stein & his resturants, a beautiful little harbour village that is always busy)

Truro (Cornwall's cathedral city, beautiful to walk around and the cathedral has a great cafe at the back run by the church)

Pendennis Castle (built by Henry 8th with superb views & some times activity days where they shoot the cannons & dress up)

Cornish Cider Farm (see the day to day activities of making cider, there is a farm for the kids & cider tasting for the adults YUM)

Strawberry picking (take your kids pick loads of strawberries and eat them with clotted cream. mind you your kids will prob end up eating more than putting them in the baskets)

Also get to the beaches, they are amongst some of the most beautiful in the UK and they cost you nothing for the whole day (ok maybe parking).

Above all have fun, make some great memories and enjoy Cornwall! Get in touch if you want anymore info!

Answer 2

With kids that young, you might not want to go far for a couple reasons; they tire (and therefore get crabby) easily, especially with a change of routine.
If you go someplace really expensive (ie anywhere abroad), you run the risk of wasting a lot of money because they're young enough to where they won't remember too much. Basically, I'd look into going camping, visiting someplace with a lot of colorful natural beauty, or even just staying at a lake or something for a few days. Teach the five year old to fish or something--someplace that you and Mum don't have to stress over too much, and which you can leave in the middle of the day to go back and take a nap when everyone's tuckered.

Have fun!

Answer 3

Camping is good took mine from early age in travel cot - getting stuff together can be expensive but try hiring a caravan on a site - kids love the freedom of a camp site.
Have also done Centre Parcs - which was fab can be expensive - but with kids your age doesn't have to be just don't eat out too much.

Answer 4

Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World would be a great place for your two boys. Just don't plan to go to Florida until the end of October.....it's too hot!!
