The rugged beauty of the UK countryside is adored by children and adults alike, and with bustling cities and a host of attractions to explore in addition to it’s incredible landscape, Lancashire is certainly one of the best places for family holidays UK locals can turn to for a staycation.
Lancashire has miles upon miles of coastline and countryside to walk, hike and explore, and it offers easy reach to the South Lakes. Plus, it’s close enough to the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland for families who want to take days out a little further afield. With historic destinations such as Lancaster, Clitheroe and Carnforth, and lively attractions like The Flower Bowl Entertainment Centre and Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Lancashire has activities the whole family will love. There’s no shortage of exciting days out with the kids in Lancashire, so let’s take a look at the type of holidays families can enjoy in this region.
What are Glamping Holidays UK?
‘Glamping’ is the combination of the words ‘glamorous’ and ‘camping’. It’s camping elevated to a more luxurious level. Rather than dealing with the hassle of putting up a tent, you simply arrive at a campsite where a permanent camping pod – usually constructed of wood – is ready and waiting for you to settle into.
Depending on the category of the pod, you might still have to bring lots of the usual camping gear, such as sleeping bags, pillows, stove, crockery and utensils. However, some of the more luxurious camping pods are kitted out with all of these handy extras to make the experience even simpler. Camping pods tend to be much warmer and cosier than traditional tents, and you don’t have to worry about the wind rocking your tent around while you’re trying to sleep.

Why choose Lancashire for glamping breaks UK?
Lancashire is renowned for its stunning coastline and countryside, and camping is a fantastic way to experience it. There’s something special about bedding down in nature when you’re visiting a place of natural beauty. However, camping isn’t for everyone! Dealing with the stress of erecting a tent and sleeping in a freezing cold sleeping bag can take the edge off the fun. Plus, not everyone has a tent and all the necessary camping kit on hand. Glamping is the perfect compromise. It allows you to lose yourself in the incredible Lancashire landscape and enjoy the fun of camping with less stress and more comfort.
Glamping holidays are available at several of our holiday parks across Lancashire, all of which are set in beautiful countryside and offer easy access to the region’s most popular attractions. You’ll find plenty of scenic walks, hikes and biking trails, picturesque villages, fascinating heritage sites, and thriving cities to explore. Plus, you’ll be within easy reach of the Lake District, the Forest of Bowland, and the Yorkshire Dales.
