Autumn may be upon us, but that doesn’t mean you have to rule family holidays for the rest of the year. In fact, fewer tourists and cheaper flights often make this the ideal time to escape from the everyday routine, especially if you’ve got small kids.
With this in mind, we explore the top three destinations for parents and little ones this season.
- The Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire
Do you love Autumn? Are you wanting to indulge in all its delights? Visit the Forest of Dean this season, and you can do just that. Enjoy long walks through golden leaves and breath in crisp air on a trip to this heavenly woodland, before enjoying a pub meal in the evening. Or you could cosy up with a book or TV programme in your lodgings. If you seek nature but aren’t that keen on long walks, you could always explore the geological wonder of the Clearwell Caves. Events held here like “Spot the Hidden Pumpkins” are bound to entertain your little ones. Just imagine the autumnal fun that’s on offer in this area for you and your family!
- Canary Islands
True, autumn has its perks. But if you’re wanting to catch some sunshine before winter comes, why not head somewhere further afield? Boasting volcanic views, white beaches and sunshine practically the whole year round, the Canary Islands offer an idyllic getaway. Its array of spacious, kid-friendly villas and lodgings make it one of the best family holiday destinations on the planet. Climb mountains, see the Teide national park from a cable car, or simply play on the beach with the kids. This unique collection of islands has everything you need for the perfect family holiday.
- Berlin
Don’t let its reputation for partying put you off the charming German capital! With plenty of child-friendly spots, this is truly a city for everyone. Your little ones are bound to fall in love with the various animals at its zoo and are likely to be equally amazed by the colourful art at the East Side Gallery. Not to mention, the Aquarium Berlin, with its visual gems and calming atmosphere, can help the whole family to unwind. The FEZ in Wuhlheide children’s centre provides fun educational activities for kids of all ages and hosts festivals throughout the year. Oh, and its parks are particularly glorious at this time of year.
The start of autumn doesn’t have to mark the end of holiday season – so, why don’t you use this season to enjoy a brilliant adventure with your little ones.
