The change in weather doesn’t mean outdoor fun has to come to an end, there are plenty of exciting activities that you can do with your family to keep yourselves active and truly entertained throughout the colder months.
Here at Burton Constable, we know what makes a great family experience. If you’re looking for fun things to do outdoors in East Yorkshire, you’ve come to the right place.
Autumn brings wet and windy weather, as well as shorter days, but it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom! There are a number of fun things to do outdoors with your family during autumn.
Go on a woodland walk
A brisk woodland walk is a fantastic autumn activity that the entire family can get involved in. Research has shown that getting active, particularly outdoors, can work wonders for your physical and mental health. Going on a woodland walk provides a perfect opportunity to get your daily dose of exercise whilst also being in the midst of all that nature has to offer.
Explore the Yorkshire coastline
If you’d prefer to venture out into a wide and open space for your walk, you could try one of the beautiful coastal walks just a short drive from Burton Constable Holiday Park. From Flamborough Head Heritage Coast to Hornsea, there’s plenty to see and enjoy with your family when going on a walk around the local area. If you’d prefer to follow up your seaside adventure with a hot drink or family meal out, you can also visit one of the many beautiful villages dotted along the Yorkshire coast, such as Staithes or Runswick Bay, before heading home.
Kite Flying
A classic outdoor activity for the whole family, kite flying is one of the best things to do outdoors with kids. The autumn wind provides the perfect atmosphere for your kites to fly. There’s nothing better than seeing the delight on your children’s faces as they see their kite sailing in the air! Again, you’ll need to find plenty of open space for this activity to get the best kite flying experience, luckily enough we have plenty of outdoor areas for you to enjoy at Burton Constable Holiday Park
Bird spotting at Bempton Cliffs
If you’d prefer to venture out into a wide and open space for your walk, you could try one of the beautiful coastal walks just a short drive from Burton Constable Holiday Park. From Flamborough Head Heritage Coast to Hornsea, there’s plenty to see and enjoy with your family when going on a walk around the local area. If you’d prefer to follow up your seaside adventure with a hot drink or family meal out, you can also visit one of the many beautiful villages dotted along the Yorkshire coast, such as Staithes or Runswick Bay, before heading home.
Visit a local farm
A day trip to the farm is a great family activity. Doing something a little different for the day allows your little ones to get a closer view of traditional working farms, learn something new about their favourite farmyard animals and explore another side of the local countryside. There are a number of excellent farms in East Yorkshire for you to visit, including Honey Suckle Farm, Sledmere House, and Sewerby Hall.
Go on a leaf hunt
Another fun thing to do outdoors with kids, a leaf hunt provides a great opportunity for your little ones to get further acquainted with nature. Autumn leaves come in a diverse range of shapes, colours and sizes, with interesting features and textures. Spend an afternoon searching for brightly coloured leaves and collect your favourites to create an autumn garland, or even take rubbings to create your own painted masterpiece. Take your kids on a leaf hunt in a wide, open, natural space like the grounds at Burton Constable Holiday Park to provide them with a day of true autumnal fun.
If you’re looking for a place to get away and enjoy fun things to do outdoors, Burton Constable Holiday Park could be the perfect place for you to escape with your family. We offer a range of luxury lodges, holiday homes, camping and glamping pods where you can relax and enjoy the scenic surroundings. You can venture out into the Park for a walking, biking or hiking trip, or you can enjoy a bite to eat from our Woodland Store or enjoy a relaxing drink at the Lakeside Bar.
