Youngsters across the UK are being given the chance to have their say on what they think are the best UK holiday hotspots, as Parkdean creates the nation's very first travel guide created exclusively for kids, by kids.   

The holiday guide, entitled 'The UK, Our Way,' will be launched this summer. It aims to become the ultimate 'rough guide' for tiny travellers, giving unique insider knowledge on the perfect places for children to explore and enjoy during their break, whilst also highlighting how to make the most of all the UK has to offer. 

The leading holiday park operator is now asking for children to help create this cool travel companion by nominating their favourite holiday spots - from their favourite place to holiday and the best beach to build sandcastles on to the best rock pools for hunting sea creatures and where to buy the most delicious ice cream.   

John Waterworth, Chief Executive of Parkdean said: "Our holiday parks are situated in some of the UK's best holiday locations, ideal for exploring local beaches, towns and attractions. We strive to provide the best facilities to keep children entertained at our holiday parks and offer the best possible family break. However, when it comes to visiting local attractions, it's often the parents who get the say in where to go and what to do. 

"Here at Parkdean, we thought it was high time the kids got a look in on picking their dream destinations, which is why we're asking for their help in creating this special guide. We're really excited about it and I'm sure it will soon be viewed as a 'rucksack essential' for anyone planning the perfect UK family getaway this summer. You never know, it may also mean that parents no longer have to spend hours planning activities for the youngsters, as we will have done it for them!"

Children can contribute by visiting the Parkdean website at www.parkdean.com/ukourway and filling out a simple form.  As a thank you, one lucky child will be entered into a free prize draw to win a week long family holiday to one of Parkdean's 24 holiday parks.*
