Half term places to go in England?

[Yellowskies1988]

Hi. Looking for somewhere for 1, maybe 2 nights over Feb half term for 2 adults and 7&5 year old boys. Probably be cold so ideally indoor activities, we live near macclesfield but ideally I would like to go on the train this time than drive. London is a bit expensive on the train and hotel prices too but just want somewhere other than Manchester which is where we seem to go alot. Like I said also ideally public transport ideally. All posts considered. Thanks in advance

York or Edinburgh?

Edinburgh? Lots of Airbnb. Very child friendly, lots to do for that age group, indoors and outdoors.

Oh I’ve just realised you said England which Edinburgh isn’t but it’s a fairly easy train journey and loads to do with kids that age (there’s another thread running on this).
