If you are looking for a last minute holiday before the children go back to school then the Peak District should be towards the top of your list. Although it is not near to the seaside, the Peak District has plenty to offer especially for families that are enjoy the great outdoors. Located in central England it is also often easy to travel to from many parts of the UK.

Within the Peak District you have some amazing walks which are suitable for people of a wide range of ages and abilities. There is a Go Ape in Buxton which can be a fun filled day for everyone, where you get to explore the forest from up high on a rope obstacle course.

There are a number of hotels, b and b’s and camping sites in and around the peak district so you will have plenty to choose from. In the main season some of these get booked up quite quickly so you may want to book in advance.

If staying on a camping site, have a good look at the facilities that it has on site as there are a number of sites which offer wild camping which means they do not have toilet and showering facilities.
