UK Family Travel Blogs to follow in 2024

UK Family Travel Blogs to follow in 2024

In hindsight, planning our global travels pre-kids was rather straight forward. After deciding on a country (generally somewhere new, unique and cheap), we would head to Waterstones to pick up the latest Lonely Planet guide, then head home with a bottle of red and a Chinese takeaway to start planning. With kids in the picture, we’ve come to realise that our travels require a bit more research and the guidebooks don’t provide the all information we need.

So where to we now go for our research? Family travel blogs.

Since starting this blogging journey over four years ago, I’ve come to know and love some fantastic family travel bloggers and become part of a wonderful UK blogging community. So I wanted to share with you some of my favourite UK family travel blogs to follow in 2024, covering everything from weekends away in the UK to adventurous travel to the far flung corners of the globe.

Monkey and Mouse

Jenny is a Scottish mum of two who has loved travelling since she herself was a child. After many years of travelling the globe with friends and on solo trips she now enjoys showing her children the huge variety of cultures and natural wonders in the world.  As Jenny home educates her children she has plenty of time throughout the year to visit other countries. From husky sledding in Finnish Lapland to swimming in the Mediterranean and exploring the nearby Scottish islands, Jenny and her family love home educating through family adventures.

In 2018 Jenny is planning to travel somewhere different every month of the year and even getting the children to join in choosing destinations.  Photography has become a real passion if Jenny’s  and she has built up a large Instagram following who love to engage with her travel photography and advice.  She’s definitely a travel blogger to follow in 2018!

Tin Box Traveller

Tin Box Traveller specialises in family holidays and days out in the UK and Europe with a healthy dose of outdoor fun. The blog is written by Claire, a mum of two young girls living in Devon. During the past five years their adventures have ranged from caravan road trips, to a Mediterranean cruise and luxurious cottage breaks. They’re always seeking new experiences and rarely sit still for long in their mission to inspire others to explore new places.

2018 is going to see the family’s travels enter a new phase with lots of solo and multi-generational trips for Claire and her girls while Mr Tin Box is deployed with the Royal Navy. It’s either a recipe for great adventures or travel fails of epic proportions…you’ll have to follow them and see which scenario plays out!!
