If you are looking to enjoy all the beautiful beaches, scenic walking trails or fascinating activities and attractions of a family holiday without all the crowds and queues of the summer months, why not take the whole family one of these May half-term beaks?
Why May Half-term Breaks?
May half-term breaks offer everything you can enjoy on a holiday without all the hassle of a peak season break. So, why not make the most of the kids being off school and whisk them away for a May half-term holiday? Whether it’s a short break near a UK city or a week-long holiday on the British coast, there’s a perfect getaway for everyone in this collection.
Whilst many Brits favour the summertime for a staycation, we think a Spring getaway is just as special! During this time, you’ll get to see adorable, new-born animals during a countryside walk, soak up the blossoming flora of the UK’s forests and make the most of seasonal attractions as they begin to open.
Get away for a May half-term holiday full of fun and adventure that both you and the kids will enjoy, creating valuable memories for the future.
Places to Visit During a May Half-term Holiday
You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to locations for a May half-term break! For little ones, or those who prefer a slower pace when on holiday, there are numerous bustling fishing villages in Norfolk to wander around or there are plenty of beautiful blue flag beaches that are ideal for bathers and building sandcastles in locations like Pembrokeshire. If the weather turns there are plenty of farm parks and zoos scattered across the country, as well as theme parks like Alton Towers in the Peak District.
