Summer has well and truly arrived, and schools will be breaking up soon for the long holidays. It’s a moment of high anticipation for the kids and possibly high anxiety for the parents about how to keep the kids entertained. We’d like to hear about your best family days out in the great outdoors, whether it be organised fun, such as a surfing course, an activity camp, or more spontaneous and free fun such as rockpooling on the coast or following a Forestry England nature trail.
The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
