The summer holidays are always an exciting time for the kids, as they embark on their 6 weeks of freedom from school. The most anticipated holidays for kids of any age, the summer holidays are great when the weather is full of promise and you can spend quality time with your friends and family. Often coming at the end of exams or end of year tests, the 6 week holidays are well deserved after weeks of completing work and revising.
However, when it comes to the parents, it can be incredibly difficult knowing how to keep the children entertained for that amount of time. 6 weeks can certainly feel like a lifetime to some parents!
Whether you want to take them away for a trip abroad, or discover what the UK has to offer, you won’t be short of opportunities. Planning out your days with the kids might seem easier than you think. So, to make the most of this year’s summer holidays, here is just a little inspiration to keep your kids amused!
Uncovering nature
The Lake District is an area that has so many things to offer for both adults and kids. Home to spectacular walking routes and views as far as the eye can see, it’s one of the easiest ways to immerse your children in the great outdoors. Seeing UK’s nature at its best, you can embark on a family hike up one of the many fells, or cycle around a lake.
Whether you’re the outdoors type or not, it’s the perfect way to soak up the summer weather and do something a little different with the kids. If it’s on your doorstep or a short drive away, it’s certainly worth it. Once you’re done for the day, rest your head at Inn on the Square and make sure you recharge your batteries for another day!
Beat the heat
Thanks to the Lake District, the UK has access to some of the most beautiful lakes. As long as you are careful and supervising your children properly, this could be a great place to entertain them. With endless types of watersports, keep them active and having the time of their lives; they might even learn a new skill like surfing or sailing!
Likewise, you could take a family boat trip across one of the many lakes in the Lake District, spending a day on the water and revelling in being able to relax. The Ullswater Steamers have been an attraction for over 150 years. One of the largest heritage vessel fleets in the whole world, it’s a trip for the whole family to enjoy. Running for 8 miles through the area’s highest mountains, it’s a beautiful way to see the Lake District with your kids.
Reveal an adventure
The beauty of the Lake District is that there is something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for an action-packed trip or something a little more relaxing, every day is an adventure. From picnics in the fresh outdoors to indoor attractions for rainy days, this part of the UK has it all.
Over this year’s summer holidays, take advantage of everything the Lake District has to offer with the kids; from historical sites to breath-taking views.
Love traveling.
