CLOSER TO HOME
Britain really does have a lot to offer. Sometimes it’s good to avoid the hassle of foreign travel and just relax and enjoy some of the fantastic scenery, beaches and resorts closer to home.

Children always feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings – and that’s one of the real plus points of caravanning. Haven and British Holidays has 24 parks across the UK providing a friendly environment for children, with kids’ clubs, pools, organised sports and loads of activities. And don’t forget to bring footballs, bikes, tennis rackets and basketballs as almost all the parks have multi-sports courts.

Familiar food – Well-stocked shops make self-catering easy and the barbecues at many parks are perfect for summer nights. There’s also a choice of cafés and restaurants with all-day menus or fast-food options. Eating areas are ‘Family Friendly’ with kids’ menus, baby food, bottle-warming and high chairs – no wonder Haven has won an award from babies’ charity Tommy’s for being the UK’s ‘Most Parent-Friendly Holiday Operator’.

Great Evenings Out – No need to worry about babysitters or driving – sensational family entertainment is just a short stroll away from your caravan, whichever park you choose. Kids are welcome at all the entertainment venues. The early evening shows are aimed at youngsters. They’ll love to see Rory the Tiger and Bradley Bear’s Showtime.

Great Value for Money – The kids’ clubs, entertainment, and other facilities are included in the price. Based on an electric pitch at Blue Dolphin in North Yorkshire until 22 August, a pitch and six people starts at £24 per night.
