UK holiday ideas needed for dad and son

[Pommygranite]

I am hopefully visiting the UK for 10 days between Xmas and early new year later this year to spend time with my son.

He's 11.

I'd really welcome some accomodation/activity suggestions of where to go/what to do for the 10 day period that aren't going to bankrupt me.

I looked at Centre Parcs but it's about £200k for 3 days and Dec/Jan isn't exactly an 'outdoor' time.

Suggestions?

Thanks chaps.

I did mean £200k sarcastically for centre Parcs - crazy expensive.

I'm coming from Oz so there's a cost already so trying to keep costs down but would like to be doing joint activities of possible and happy to be based anywhere but am flying into Heathrow. Would love Skiing but too much cost

Centre Parcs appeals due to all the activities and so wasn't sure if there's an equivalent - it'd be great to fly in, grab the car rental, grab him then go stay somewhere for roughly 10 days and spend the days doing stuff.

I even thought about getting on an EasyJet flight to Bologna, head to Modena and do the car thing for 8 days but think that's a 3 day thing and perhaps not possible late December.

I agree with the comment about the price of Centre Parcs.

How about a Campervan? Would be a bit of an adventure, and should be reasonably affordable off season.

That sounds like fun! Will look at that.
