Looking for a 3 night break over Easter, with our 4(almost 5) yr old and 1 year old.
Would love to hear of any recommendations for areas with plenty to do, any amazing air bnbs you’ve stayed at close to good attractions for children?
Not Centerparcs as we’ve already been this year, ideally within 2/3 hour drive from Yorkshire.

Thanks!

City break in Edinburgh?

Matlock Bath is a pretty area of the Peak District and has lots to do nearby. There’s Heights of Abraham right on the doorstep with a couple of playgrounds, butterfly trail, cable car, underground caverns and cafe. The Peak Rail steam train often has special events for families and they’re bound to do something for Easter. Crich Tramway village has indoor and outdoor play areas, a sweet shop, woodland walk and it’s fun to ride the old trams, buses etc…. There’s also a farm park, Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park and a small aquarium in the town too.

Norfolk - lots of things to do.

I second Matlock, we had lots of fun there as well.

Ribby hall in Preston is lovely and only 15 minutes to st Anne’s for some lovely beaches and close to Blackpool for the zoo. They also have gruffalo world, sea life etc in Blackpool.
