To the west, Cornwall is often seen as the playground of the UK and somewhere that many families head to for their summer vacations. It is a beautiful part of the world with beaches which are perfect for relaxing or water sports and there are also a handful of fun and friendly towns and villages to explore.

Pembrokeshire

Wales is another incredibly beautiful area particularly in Pembrokeshire in southwest Wales. Despite this, it can be relatively quiet throughout the year so it is somewhat of a hidden gem. It features a dramatic coastline which is ideal for long family walks.

The UK is a beautiful, diverse and interesting place to explore yet many people do not venture out of their region. A family road trip is a brilliant way to explore the UK and the above are just a few of the best places to stop off along the way. This can also be a great way to have a more affordable family vacation and a chance to spend quality time together as a family and create new memories.
