Canterbury
With its sweeping ceilings and stained glass windows, Canterbury Cathedral is an unforgettable sight. Those who feel brave enough can even go down into the crypt to light a candle in the gloom. Snap cute family photos in Westgate Gardens, surrounded by gorgeous flower displays. See if you can spot the hidden statue in the canal! Or, take to the water on a punting tour, where you can float along being told stories about the city – a truly unique experience.
Cotswolds
Get your kids connected to the natural world in the Cotswolds. These rolling hills and charming villages are the perfect place to immerse yourself in stunning scenery and local wildlife. The stone cottages and winding rivers look like something out of a fairytale, sparking young imaginations. A great time to visit with your family is the summer when the Cotswolds Olympics are on. Get involved with exciting traditional English sports like duck racing, cheese rolling and more!
Bath
This lovely Georgian city is filled with family-friendly activities. Young bookworms will love the Jane Austen Centre, learning about the author’s life and dressing up in 1700s-era clothing. Feed their inquisitive minds in the Roman Baths Museum, where you can discover Bath’s history through the 2000 year-old ruins. You can even take a tour cruising down the River Avon! And, for a moment of relaxation, head to the Thermae Bath Spa to wind down after a fun-filled day.
Oxford
Your kids will love the colleges and libraries of Oxford University, especially aspiring witches and wizards! The city is full of filming locations for popular movies and series, including Harry Potter. Who knows – your children may be a student walking the university halls themselves one day. Next, spark their imagination in the museums, especially the Natural History and Pitt Rivers. Grab lunch in the Covered Market, then finish off the day with a walk through Christchurch Meadow.
Dover
