As much as I love jetting off to exotic destinations, I’ve come to dread queueing up at airports and sometimes I come back from a trip abroad more exhausted than I was before I left. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not retiring my flight jacket any time soon, but the prospect of getting out of town without having to deal with airports, currency exchanges and whatever else the travel gods can throw at me certainly has its appeal.
And as pro-London as I truly am, sometimes I just need to get the f*ck out of this town. The same bright lights/big city aura that thrills me with the prospect of never ending opportunities for fun and enterprise can also grate on my very last nerve. Traffic, stuffy Tubes, paying way too much for everything … ugh.
I guess it’s not so difficult for me to hit the road (or more likely the rails) every once in awhile for a weekend away or a mini-break. The English countryside and seaside, even just a short jaunt out from London, offer restorative reprieves from the urban grind. But, I imagine the same sort of easy peasy getaway can be a toughie if you’ve got kids. One option is to give the Parkdean holiday parks a go. Yes, if you’re looking for somewhere affordable and fun for the whole family that’s reputable, safe and beautiful, you should definitely try out one of these park resorts.
