Travelling with your family is an amazing way to spend time together. Getting out there and exploring the amazing natural wonders of the world helps to foster a connection to our precious planet and an understanding of what makes it so wonderful.
Here are four natural wonders that are perfect for explorers of all ages that you should add to your travel bucket list.
Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is a beautiful part of the world. Arguably, one of the most impressive parts is the Giant’s Causeway. These striking basalt columns are steeped in mythological history when giants roamed the Earth. This story alone is sure to ignite the imagination of all visitors.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the causeway offers scenic walks where you can take in the dramatic scenery surrounding the landmark. For smaller adventurers, the visitor centre often has interactive exhibitions aimed at little ones.
If you have time, be sure to book a Visitor Experience with a storyteller to bring the area to life.
Lake District National Park, England
Thousands of outdoor enthusiasts flock to the Lake District each year, and it is easy to see why. The region boasts beautiful lakes, rolling hills and more stunning walking routes than you could possibly imagine.
Although there are walks for every ability across the area, there are plenty of other activities on offer, too. Boating, water sports and horse riding are all available for the more adventurous visitors.
For those wanting a quieter day in between walks, the picturesque villages are perfect for meandering around. Ambleside, Hawkshead and Grasmere are all fan-favourites.
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
Croatia has become a popular holiday destination in recent years, thanks to the bustling cities twinned with some awe-inspiring landscapes. Cascading waterfalls and turquoise lakes are abundant, but none more so than at Plitvice Lakes National Park.
The waterways are connected with wooden walkways, giving you the feeling of floating over the surface. This area is perfect for families who love nature and photography. Keep an eye out for the local inhabitants, which include Brown bears, the Eurasian lynx, grey wolves, and the viviparous lizard.
Pamukkale Hot Springs, Turkey
Turkey is a great family-friendly destination wherever you end up. A poolside family holiday to Turkey with On The Beach gives you the perfect base to explore the local area, especially if you are near Pamukkale Hot Springs.
Only three hours north of Antalya, Paukkale’s white terraces and thermal pools create a landscape which feels like a movie set. The pools are renowned for the flowing spring water that leaves behind a calcium carbonate mineral, which forms the pool walls. The water is said to have healing qualities, leaving bathers feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
