An Introduction by Liz Fraser; Author of ‘Yummy Mummy’

Children need to get away from their daily routines, to lose track of time and be allowed the freedom to think, adventure and dream. Finding somewhere family-friendly where the whole family can have a good time means priceless memories for us all to cherish.

Luckily, none of these means travelling far or spending a lot of money: some of the best breaks I’ve ever had have been in good old Blighty, and none of them have been either luxurious or expensive – you just need to know where to go.

From beach-combing in Cornwall to renting a farm cottage in Yorkshire, camping in Norfolk to whiling away long summer evenings counting the stars in the Cotswolds, I’ve enjoyed simple, affordable and relaxing holidays and days out with my family all over the UK, and I’m yet to be disappointed – Great Little Adventures is a great place to find places just like these.
