Family holidays in Britain are riding a new wave of popularity. And it’s not simply due to the strength of the euro, the credit crunch or concerns over the costs of flying further afield.

The fact is there’s never been a more varied, enticing or exciting range of things to do or places to stay. Not only is Britain beautiful and diverse, with beaches and national parks to rival the world’s finest, but its family attractions – from castles to woodland adventure parks – are some of the best you’ll find anywhere.

Britain with Kids is a celebration of all these things and much more. It aims to inform and inspire; highlighting accommodation and local food that won’t cost the earth, as well as trumpeting the best child-friendly activities, back-to-nature escapades and big days out – many of which won’t cost a penny.

With all types of accommodation covered from the cool and quirky to farm favourites and pick of the pitches, Britain with Kids also has 'fun and free' sections as well as information on the top beaches and the best family-friendly activities for your destinations.

“Don’t let your family holidays languish like seaweed on a sluggish tide, coming and going with barely a ripple of excitement,” says author William Gray.  “Explore Britain with your kids and give family holidays a fresh surge of adventure”
