With more than 125 rides and attractions, including The Big One, the tallest roller coaster in the UK, the whole family are guaranteed a great day out. Or, if you fancy a change of scenery from the swimming pools on park, head on down to Sandcastle Waterpark – the UK’s largest indoor waterpark.

Lincolnshire is a county steeped in history, from the Roman arches in the city of Lincoln which date back to the 3rd century BC, to Lincoln Castle, home to one of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta. Boston, Lincolnshire was where some of the earliest settlers who later made their home in Boston, Massachusetts in the 17th century originated from, while in the Second World War the region was given the nickname Bomber County as a result of all the Allied airfields that were built on its flat land.

With so much to discover and learn about this remarkable part of the UK, remember there’s still plenty of fun things to do to keep even the most energetic kids entertained!

You could be forgiven for wanting to visit simply for the cider and cheddar cheese, the produce that the county is most famous for, but this is only a taste of what Somerset is all about; there’s so much more to do here, so it should come as little wonder that the county has long been a popular destination for family holidays.

Somerset is packed full of wonderful locations and places for you to visit, including an incredible 72 nature reserves. Two of the largest areas of natural beauty – the Mendips and the Quantocks – are right beside our holiday parks in Somerset and both feature numerous nature reserves and areas of stunning countryside just waiting to be explored.

South Wales stretches from historic Chepstow and its imposing castle near the English border to the big skies and epic sea views of the jagged coast in the west.

The big draw here is Pembrokeshire, where almost 200 miles of magical shoreline is protected as a national park – home to craggy cliffs, award-winning beaches, pretty villages and traditional seaside resorts. If you feel like travelling a bit further afield, the Brecon Beacons are a couple of hours drive from most of our holiday parks in South Wales, but you will get to experience some great climbing and incredible views while you’re there.

Kids will really enjoy the numerous theme parks and attractions like Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo, Aberystwyth, Carew, and Pembroke Castles, and Oakwood Theme Park. All have events happening throughout the year that will make for a great family day out.

The big cities of South Wales deserve a visit too.

Make sure you also explore the city’s fantastic arts and culture scene, the bars and restaurants of Cardiff Bay, and the city’s magnificent castle.

With its history of being a favourite UK holiday destination – the Victorians were particular fans of Brighton and Hastings – Sussex has long been one of the best places in the UK when you want to enjoy a day at the seaside. In 2014, Bognor Regis was officially recognized as the sunniest place in England, so it’s not hard to see why it’s proved such a hit with us all. But it’s not just beach resorts; Sussex is a county steeped in history and beautiful rolling countryside – who hasn’t heard of the Battle of Hastings and the South Downs?

If you’ve got fashionistas and trend-spotters in your family, you have to head to Brighton and Camber Sands. With their quirky boutiques, rock and roll history, and pop-up food restaurants, the buzz around here is electric.

If castles interest you, Sussex has plenty for you to visit – 11, in fact. One of the most well known of these is Bodiam Castle – and this one is the real deal. With a portcullis, spiral staircase and battlements, kids (and adults) will feel like they’ve travelled back to Medieval times.

West Wittering beach is one of the top tourist beaches in Britain, probably because of the miles of golden sand – in a county that’s famed for its more pebbly shoreline – it’s high quality water, and excellent family facilities. It can get busy on a sunny day, so make sure you head there early. The South Downs are an absolute gem – with over 3,300 rights of way and over 1,600 square kilometres of natural beauty, you can wile away hours discovering new walks and cycle routes. Of course, a country walk wouldn’t be the same without a stop at a local pub and you’ll find plenty of those too! Read more about both Haven Holiday Parks in Sussex

Famous for the breathtaking mountains, hillsides and lakes that give the region its name, you may be surprised to know that you can also find plenty of beaches in the Lake District, helping to make it one of the most popular holiday destinations in the UK, and one that draws around 15.8 million visitors every year.

A trip to the Lake District has to include a visit to two of its most iconic landmarks: the Old Man of Coniston and Scafell Pike. But if you don’t plan on travelling that far once you’ve arrived at our Lakeland Leisure Park there are still plenty of other amazing lakes and mountains closer by that will give you the full experience of this remarkable region.

The Lake District is steeped in history and you’ll have a great time discovering more about its past from the abandoned mines around Honister and the ruined abbey of Furness, to the literary landmarks of Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount, both former homes of William Wordsworth.

If you’ve brought the kids on holiday with you, make sure you visit The World of Beatrix Potter, a wonderful experience that brings Peter Rabbit, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and the rest of Potter’s remarkable characters to life. Even if you’ve never read the books, your whole family will be enchanted by the magical world she created during a trip to this attraction. There is a Haven Holiday Park in the Lake District

Welcome to Yorkshire – the largest county in Britain, and one that’s packed full of exciting things to do! Yorkshire is a beautiful contradiction of stunning coastal and wild moorland views, mixed with bustling and modern towns and cities. The only challenge you’ll have is how you’ll manage to fit it all in.

The Yorkshire coastline is a destination all of its own. Scarborough is well known as one of the best seaside towns in the whole of the UK, but there are so many more great towns to explore along the same stretch of coastline, including Filey, Whitby and Bridlington. In contrast, fishing communities such as Robin Hood’s Bay and Runswick Bay, which are spread along the coastline of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, will introduce you to a very different way of life, some incredible views and, of course, some amazing restaurants.
