Budget Basics

• Travel off-peak if you can; book rail early for cheaper fares.
• Pick free attractions first (parks, museums, coastal paths).
• Self-cater some meals and bring refillable water bottles.

Sustainability

• Use public transport or car-share where possible.
• Choose family-run B&Bs and eco-conscious stays.
• Leave no trace: take litter home and keep to marked paths.

Travelling with Kids

• Plan rest/play stops; mix indoor/outdoor options for weather.
• Bring a “calm kit” (books, colouring, headphones).
• Share the rough plan with older kids to set expectations.
