If your family is looking for something a little different from a classic beach holiday or city break, Europe has plenty of options. From wolf-watching to surfing, there is something for all ages and interests. Here are 5 of the most exciting ideas.
If your family is a horse-loving one, Ireland offers the prospect of a real adventure. Although more regularly promoted as an adventure for car drivers, Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way is perfect for an equine adventure. With fast riding along sandy beaches, slower ambles along quiet country lanes, and regular stops for picnics, this is the perfect holiday for accomplished riders who want to enjoy a different perspective on the scenery.
There are never any guarantees where the Northern Lights are concerned but a winter trip to Finland's Lapland offers some of the best chances. It also has the added attractions of some seriously Christmassy scenery, which you and your family can enjoy from the perspective of a sledge pulled by reindeer. Add in a visit to Rovaniemi, a destination for many of the letters addressed to Father Christmas, and your children might not want to come home again
Beach holidays are many children's favourite. A surfing holiday gives them a new way to enjoy the water, and Portugal offers some of Europe's best waves. Although the country is rightly known for its large waves, well-suited to experienced surfers, it also has beaches that are perfect for beginners. Foz do Lizandro​ is one of the best and is home to surf schools that take even young children.
Best-suited to family groups with slightly older children capable of sitting quietly for periods of time, a safari in Poland's Bialowieza ​Forest is unlike any other adventure holiday. As well as the chance of spotting wolves, you might also see European bison, red deer, wild boar, and lynx. You can maximise your chance of seeing wolves by choosing a guide who takes you to sites that wolves are known to visit.
North of the Scottish mainland, Orkney offers some of the UK's best diving sites. The seas around the archipelago are the resting place of many shipwrecks, including several German vessels from the Second World War. While many of these sites are restricted to experienced divers, Orkney is a great place for beginners to learn. Ashore, it has plenty of beaches to run on and Neolithic monuments to explore.
