Our Family Summer Bucket List 2024

May 8, 2026August 1, 2024 by Elle Steer

Do you write a summer bucket list? The summer holidays are well and truly upon us.

Hello. I'm Elle a travel and photography obsessed Mum of two based in England. With my family lifestyle and travel blog I love to share affordable attainable travel and days out in the UK and beyond. We love to discover off the beaten track (as well as the more trodden occasionally too) experiences to see as much of the uniqueness of the world and culture as we can, around school and a corporate 9-5. Hidden gems are our jam and give me mountains and beaches over crowds and cities any day of the week. In the UK we love the outdoors, waterfalls, hikes and sharing the best of British beaches. We also adore a National Trust. Nothing better than a National Trust on a quiet Sunday. I hope to inspire and help you realise travelling with children doesn't have to compromise your travel plans. Come along for the ride..
