Another idea would be to pack the hiking boots! Explore the intriguing footpaths that criss cross Wessex. One can see so much walking – admire the scenery, watch and listen to the birds, bask in the sunshine, enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. Try the South West Coast Path – well in bits, it is the longest footpath in Britain. The scenery is just stunning. Wander through Ruby country in Devon, or the Test Way in Hampshire. The Isle of Wight has so many delightful footpaths. There are just too many footpaths to mention them all in all the counties.

A caravan holiday is not an expensive idea – one can find a park in rural countryside or on the coast. There is always one close to where you would love to be. Find one perhaps just to relax – let the world go away.

The kids love a caravan holiday - they love the freedom of it.

If a lively holiday is what you want – why not try the many caravan resorts around. Sometimes one does not need to leave the site to have a fabulous holiday!
