Family friendly fun in the Cotswolds
If you’re looking for a destination for a family holiday, or somewhere to go on a family break, then make sure you book your next break away with your family to the Cotswolds. Whatever your age, the Cotswolds is a great place to enjoy with a whole host of attractions and activities.
If you are looking to keep young children amused then you’ll find many things to entertain them, including farm and wildlife parks, steam railways and museums. If you need to relieve the look of boredom on your teenagers' faces, then the activity centres, water sports and popular shopping outlets will definitely help.
You don't have to splash the cash to enjoy the Cotswolds! Visit one of our free museums and explore everything from dinosaurs to historic aircraft, or spend the day discovering one of the many country parks.
With breathtaking scenery, the Cotswold hills are a great place for a gentle wander or cycle ride. You'll be spoilt for choice for picnic spots and great places to fly a kite along the way. Take to the water and enjoy boat trips from Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Lechlade on Thames, Saul and Ebley, near Stroud.
The Cotswolds are famous for a whole host of large family festivals and events from the Science and Literature Festivals in Cheltenham, to the annual Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford and Wychwood, one of the most family-friendly music festivals.
Looking for somewhere to wear the kids out? Kick up some leaves and enjoy the natural environment at Westonbirt and Batsford, our two beautiful arboreta. Don't forget to explore from above with Westonbirt's treetop walkway.
