Short break ideas?!

3 replies

cab I ask you all for your short break ideas? Elderly parents mean we can’t be away for more than 4 nights (absolute maximum) - 3 nights preferably.

We have tween dc, we live in south London, and we would love to find some long weekends we could do as a family that won’t break the bank. Dh has some mobility issues so we need reasonably accessible places and no camping. (Static caravans are fine though)

Where have you been that is a few hours from London, but that is interesting/ beautiful/fun? My ideas so far are:

Manchester (will this interest a couple of london kids though?)
York (as above)
Isle of Wight
norfolk (but it’s a pain to get to from south London)

…. and then I’m stumped! Any ideas?

If you can break up the journey a bit Wales is absolutely beautiful. The teens would love zip world. I took my two a couple of years back and they still talk about that holiday now. Also think about a trip to the Kent coast, not too far and plenty to do in the summer months.

Thanks - I would love to go to wales but I think it’s too far for us sadly. It will go on the wish list!

Check out cheap city breaks from Gatwick? Gives you more choice
