Horse Riding in the Yorkshire Dales

There are a wealth of stables in Yorkshire who will offer short riding breaks, and riding over the rolling dales is a wonderful experience. Especially good for a special treat to take younger daughters on! Check out trips at Equestrian Escapes – http://www.equestrian-escapes.com/RegionsSee-id241.html

Surfing in Cornwall

Visit the ever popular Newquay, and you can bring your own board and hit the waves straight away if you’re an experienced surfer. If you’re a little more timid, there is cheap equipment hire and lessons available on the beaches. Caravan accommodation for Cornwall can be found here – http://www.newquayaccommodation.com/

Hiking in Wales

Mount Snowden is a bracing and spectacular mountain to climb, and will result in a real sense of achievement when you’ve finished! It’s quite tough, but should be okay for reasonably active adults and children over 8. This caravan site is within striking distance of the mountain and only two minutes walk from the beach – http://www.walestouristsonline.co.uk/nwcoast/caravan/CaernarvonBayCaravanPark.html

Mountain Biking in Scotland

One of the best ways to see nature right up close, but still whizzing past you! Scotland has a wide variety of thrilling mountain biking trails of various difficulty levels. Details can be found at UK bike trails – http://www.ukbiketrails.co.uk/region.php?region=2 Wild camping is allowed in Scotland, so in theory you could stay anywhere you wanted, but maybe it would be best to check the Caravan Club for listings of caravan parks near where you wanted to visit!

Always remember to check that your caravan is in good working order and that the caravan insurance is up to date before you set out!
