About the author
Jane Anderson has been a travel writer and editor for over 25 years. Once her kids came along 18 and 15 years ago (in 2022), her focus turned to enriching family travel experiences which landed her the job of Editor of Family Traveller magazine and website. She is also author of Dorset, New Forest & Isle of Wight with Kids and Brittany with Kids published by Footprint Guides. She is particularly interested in local adventures and how to travel sustainably, and how to give children enriching travel experiences close to home. Having travelled around the world, she genuinely feels that the UK is one of the best and most rewarding places to explore with children, with the added benefit of no flying or jetlag!
Holly Tuppen has been a travel writer for over ten years, specialising in sustainable escapes. She's a writer for the Guardian, The Telegraph, and Conde Nast Traveller, and is author of Sustainable Travel. Having travelled the world without flying pre-kids, for the last seven years, she's embraced the same slow travel ethos closer to home. With a five and seven-year-old in tow, Holly loves nothing more than seeking out and shouting out about the huge variety of adventures to be had within the UK's shores, whether exploring the car-free Small Isles or swotting up on space exploration in Bristol.
