Leading walking holiday tour operator HF Holidays has launched their Family Walking Adventures for 2020, offering a range of family breaks during school holidays. On their main range of UK holidays, under 18s will stay for FREE and with prices starting from just £399 per adult for a 3 night break at Easter, with up to 3 children staying per adult, this offers excellent value for money.

Family Walking Holidays are available in seven out of their 18 UK country houses and families will have exclusive use of each country house on a full board basis. These holidays are perfect for active families who enjoy spending time exploring the great outdoors and having fun together. Each day families can choose from up to 4 different walks per day based on their walking experience. Children of all ages are welcome.

HF Family breaks are ideal for a multitude of different family configurations including multi-generational families which might include young children, their parents and / or grandparents. With some parents only able to have a limited amount of time off work during the long summer holidays, HF Holidays often welcomes families made up of just children and their grandparents. The relaxed, homely environment of HF Holidays' country houses plus the amount of time spent enjoying organised activities makes these trips eminently suitable for families of all kinds. Also, the social nature of the breaks is ideal for single parents travelling with children.

For families looking to travel overseas, HF offers the choice of 2 different holidays in Austria, on a half board basis, staying in partner hotels. Each family break is led by an experienced HF Leader.

For 2020, all under 18s will travel FREE on all standard UK Family Walking holidays including during the peak summer period. This gives families a fantastic saving on HF Holidays' Full Board accommodation. Offer excludes Teen Walking Weekends.

NEW: Teen Walking Weekends

This new brochure also sees the launch of two brand-new Teen Walking Weekend holidays in the UK, designed to appeal to families who have active 12-19 year olds, offering them exciting physical walking challenges which will help inspire a love of the outdoors and get a real sense of achievement. These are no walks in the park; they are proper walking challenges with early starts and late finishes which will test stamina and generate a real sense of achievement.

There are two Teen Walking Weekends to choose from:

Lake District - 'Lakeland Giants' – families tackle four high peaks in a weekend – Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Scafell and Scafell Pike. 3 nights from £434 per adult, £99 per child aged 12-19.

Yorkshire Dales – Three Peaks Challenge – families take on the challenge of climbing Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in under 12 hours. 3 nights from £459 per adult, £99 per child aged 12-19.

Rachel Ashburner, Special Interest Product Manager says, 'We all know family time is precious, and our holidays allow families to enjoy a break together without the cooking and washing up; all of our UK breaks are Full Board and the ones in Austria Half Board.  Adventure is for all ages; families can choose from a range of up to 4 different grade walks a day. Youngsters can take their time on one walk and older children can really stretch their legs on a tougher challenge; choice is at the heart of our breaks. Walking together allows kids to roam free with new friends. Games and activities are provided after the walks or they can take a dip in a swimming pool or have a paddle in a lake before dinner. We know that some families LOVE a challenge, so new for 2020 we have some really tough family challenges - our Teen Walking Weekends - involving conquering Lakeland Giants or the Yorkshire Three Peaks in 12 hours. These are big holiday experiences that will be reminisced about for a lifetime.'
