Haven Holidays in the North West of England

If you live in the North West of England you don't have to travel far for a fabulous holiday.  With the bright lights of Blackpool as well as the stunning Lake District right on the doorstep there is plenty to enjoy. 

The main Haven parks in this region are Marton Mere in Blackpool, Cala Gran in Fleetwood and Lakeland in Cumbria. All of these parks offer an excellent base for family holidays with plenty of family friendly facilities.

Marton Mere would really appeal to active families looking for fun and adventure. One of the main attractions has to be the Space Bowl flume at the centre of the swimming complex.  Other popular activities on the park include archery and adventure golf.  The location of Marton Mere is excellent too and you can even see Blackpool Tower from the park itself!  Just three miles away and you're on Blackpool Promenade with all the fun at Pleasure Beach. For a fun day out in this area we also love the Sandcastle water Park which is actually the largest water park in the UK with 18 different slides.  The Ghost Bus Tour which covers all the haunted hotspots of Blackpool is also recommended.

Cala Gran is another amazing Haven park in the region and will appeal to families.  The setting of cala Gran is ideal, just a few miles from the beach.  You are also just a short tram ride away from Blackpool Pleasure Beach.  Other family days out close to Cala Gran include Farmer Parrs Animal World and the Madhatters Play Cafe and Party.  of course, you may not even want to leave the park itself with so much going on. The outdoor children's SplashZone is the place to spend sunny days and the heated indoor pool is perfect for a relaxing swim or a splash about. You will find daytime and evening entertainment in the Showbar and the children will love the dedicated Kids Clubs.

Lakeland Holiday Park in Cumbria is ideally suited to families who love the outdoors.  With the Lake District National Park on the doorstep it's perfect for walks and exploring. The park itself provides a haven of fun and relaxation.  The whole family can try out the family pitch and putt and the heated swimming pools are a real bonus.  Family days out in this area include the well loved World of Beatrix Potter and the South Lakes Wild Animal Park.  Just one mile from Lakeland park is Ducky's Park Farm which the little ones will love.
