5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic bible for planning great holidays and days out with your kids!
10 Oct 2009
By Katharine G.
Format:Paperback
I don't normally write reviews, but felt moved to after reading the couple of really unfair ratings here.
This is a great book. It is not a guide to everywhere in the UK, so that you can find some half-baked thing to do with your kids wherever you happen to be. Most parent's will arrange their trips around their children not the other way around - if only for a quiet life! This is a guide for planning your time away around your children so that you can take them to the best of what this country has to offer.
Yes, there could be a few more maps, but 2 stars? Un-warrented, and somewhat suspicious...
Don't be put off by the negative (commercially-competing?) reviews. This is a fantastic guide to the best of travelling with kids in the UK. But it is more than that, William's information on how-to travel with your kids will make you a better, more fun parent!

As an avid fan of holidays in the UK we are always on the look out for inspiration on where to go on family holidays and what to do when we get there. Anyone in the same situation should definitely buy this book!
It offers an entertaining, inspiring, and informative guide which will provide any family with fun-packed holidays or great days out across the whole of the UK.
We now know where the 170 best family-friendly beaches are, 'must do' lists for each area and great ideas for big days out. A huge choice of places to stay and eat for all budgets (including camping with 'pick of the pitches'), 'Action stations' for local activities, loads of free stuff to do in each area and even a list of things to do if it rains!
Combine all this with a fresh and colourful layout, an easy-to-navigate format and some fantastic photos and you end up with what has to be the best UK Family Travel book on the shelves.
Now my only concern is whether I can do justice to William Gray's guide on how to build the perfect sand castle!!!!

This book is a brilliant book to show families how to have fun all year round, without having to go abroad. It is well laid out, with masses of useful information and pictures illustrating the text. A book the whole family will find interesting. Be ready for some exciting school holidays, as the kids are bound to make a list of places to visit and things to do!! If you have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or godchildren, make sure whoever plans the family holidays has a copy of this book to hand. In fact buy it for them now!

Britain with Kids (Footprint Travel Guides)
I like the book and the format is easy to use. The problem is that it misses out huge chunks of the country. Read more
