Winter Breaks at Whitecliff Bay, Isle of Wight

By the cliffs

Everything will be all Wight with a festive break at Whitecliff Bay on the Isle of Wight. The holiday park has its very own secluded beach so a walk along the beach is perfect location to blow those Christmas cobwebs away.

There’s so much to do on the Isle of Wight all year round, it’s hard to know where to start. Carisbrooke Castle dates from Norman times and brings history alive to many thousands of visitors each year, while Yarmouth Castle was built by Henry VIII and was the first Arrow Head Castle in Britain.

And of course, a visit to the island isn’t complete without stop at Queen Victoria’s holiday residence, Osborne House, to get a taste of a true Victorian yuletide. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the Island’s landscape by embarking on the Isle of Wight Literary Heroes Trail that will take you across the island discovering the haunts of the island’s famous literary residents and visitors.

And when your legs need a rest, pop into one of the island’s many cosy pubs, and enjoy a drink and a hearty feast around a warming, captivating fire.

Christmas Breaks in Barmouth Bay

Escape to the mountains…

If your idea of the perfect Christmas is to get away from all of the festivities, then Away Resorts has three other parks in spectacular locations that offer guests the chance to do exactly that.

Head to the hills at Barmouth Bay on the north Wales coast with Snowdonia National Park as a backdrop. Bright, winter crisp days are the perfect excuse to pull on your walking boots and explore Snowdonia. And if you fancy hopping on your bike, there’s also the opportunity to explore the mountains by bike, with cycle routes for all kinds of cyclists.

And a visit to Barmouth Bay isn’t complete without a trip to explore the Llechwedd Slate Caverns on a deep mine tour with guides that will bring back to life the stories of miners that worked in the caverns in the 19th century.

Christmas in Mersea Island, Essex

Get away from it all…

The only way is Essex… enjoy four nights away on Mersea Island, in the Blackwater estuary just off the Essex coast.

Off park, there’s some great places to experience on the island which covers seven square miles, from its beautiful sandy beaches, and boat tours around the island to learn about its history and its wildlife, to long walks through Cudmore Grove Country Park, which has an abundance of wildlife. Enjoy a beer or two at Mersea Island Brewery or if you love a glass of vino, check out the island’s vineyard.

Further afield from the island just nine miles away is the Roman town or Colchester, which is a great day out for all the family with an impressive perfectly preserved Norman castle and a zoo, which boasts 260 rare species.
