Travel Insurance for October Half Term

With October half-term fast approaching, and with it the prospect of a well-deserved family break, now is the time to find a great value break before the Christmas rush in November and December. Whatever your plans, and even if you decide on a UK break, don?t forget to purchase travel insurance. Good cover will take away the worry of an unfortunate accident leaving you out of pocket.

Where to go

This year, why not take your whole family away on a half term holiday somewhere new and exciting, with plenty of entertainment and attractions to keep you and your children happy and amused for the entire half term break? Whether you are a teacher looking for a well-earned break or a parent looking to take the children away, let us inspire you.

The Canaries

Traditionally, one of the most popular options has been to head down to The Canary Islands, less than a five hour flight away. Still relatively warm and lively in October, the islands of Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife provide a wealth of options for keeping the whole family entertained.

The Algarve

With fantastic family-friendly beaches, some of the finest golf courses in Europe and villages still unaffected by tourism, theAlgarve also remains a winning choice for families on the lookout for an active yet laid-back half term break.

Closer to home

Finally, the October half term is also a fantastic time to take a holiday without breaking the bank. For those looking for a truly memorable family holiday closer to home, the enchanting Lake District is undoubtedly a destination of choice this half term. From Beatrix Potter’s house at Hill Top Farm at Near Sawrey, to the Aquarium of the Lakes in Windermere or perhaps an hour-long pony trek in stunning surroundings (at the Park Foot Trekking Centre by Lake Ullswater), there is more than enough to keep you and your children active and amused for the whole week.
