2/3 Night Break with children - Destination ideas please!!

[lh82 10]

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

How old are your kids ?

Where is home first of all. Sheffield?

 

Centreparcs does short breaks but can be pricey but good facilities for children and lots to do.

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:

And for accomodation there's a few caravan parks, or plenty of hotels and B&Bs.

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!
