Uk's Best Days out

With weeks of summer holiday fun to fill, Sky Travel reveal our top choices for great days out.

Warwick Castle

Set in the heart of England, Warwick Castle and its medieval architecture is a majestic day out with so much to offer.

Every part of this magnificent building has something different to offer; great halls, the chapel, and a ghost tower - explore them all, if you dare.

Learn about life throughout the castle's history, its defence system, banquet conventions, and observe falconry at twice daily shows.

Book on the Warwick Castle website.

UK theme parks

Theme Parks are always a good family day out, and lucky for us, the UK has loads of great ones!

We at Sky Travel have chosen our top 5 UK theme parks for you to enjoy:

Best for older children are Alton Towers and Thorpe Park - both with some great thrill-seekers rides.
For those with younger kids, we recommend Chessington World of Adventures as many of its rides are aimed at under 12's.
Drayton Manor is great for any age as it has the big rides, the family rides, and a zoo.
And finally, Legoland is perfect for younger kids who like attraction, or big kids who like LEGO!

A Lego family take a well deserved break

Jurassic Coast (Dorset)

A trip to Dorset's Jurassic Coast is far more than the sea air - it's a visit to England's first natural World Heritage Site.

The cliff faces stretch 95 miles from East Devon to Dorset making up the Jurassic coast and some of the UK's most stunning coastline views.

The earth's history can be traced in rocks that date back 185 million years, and the erosion keeps exposing more.

A visit to the Jurassic coast can be enhanced by a trip into the local towns, Weymouth, Portland and Charmouth, are just some that Dorset has to offer.

Jurassic Coast events take place regularly.

Visit the Jurassic Coast website for more details.

Yes, hard to believe but it really is England
