The possibility of foreign holidays has been given fresh hope thanks to plans to introduce a travel traffic light system, which would see countries categorised as red, yellow or green, based on Covid-19 cases. However, even with this plan it is not expected that foreign trips will be allowed until 17 May at the earliest, forcing many to consider a holiday at home. If you’re keen for an escape, the UK has a wealth of attractive spots to enjoy, with these 9 destinations being ideal for families with young children.
