Stockton-on-Tees Half Term Holidays

The North Yorkshire Local Authority determines the school term and holiday dates for community schools. Foundation and voluntary aided schools are recommended to adopt the same pattern of dates.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that these half term holiday dates are accurate, there are occasions when circumstances beyond our control may result in changes.

Our sponsored links on each page also list events and discounts on school holiday ideas and half term events.

Cycling the Dales as a Family

The Park Authority have been working hard to develop cycle-friendly accommodation in line with other initiatives such as the implementation of bike stands and securing rings at over 100 Dale sites. There are several detailed cycling routes available on the Park website and there are graded routes published in the high quality maps available in any information centre. Such will let you know whether you will be needing your 'serious-cyclist' mountain bike or whether your old bike in the shed can be dusted off ready for the task at hand.

You should obviously make sure that any route you have selected are suitable for your kids bikes. All information provided will comment on how 'flat' or otherwise the terrain is on each route for your consideration. So, whether you are a cycle mad family or cycle holiday novices- there is something to suite everyone. And remember, stress-free holidays are much more likely when there is a certain element of forward planning involved.

Make sure you have packed up all of your bike equipment when loading up the car – a flat tyre in the middle of a route could be rectified a lot quicker with the appropriate equipment to hand. Finally, just in case you fancy a break from the cycling, the National park also runs kids clubs throughout the UK school holidays to give your children the chance to take part in some great activities with others holidaying in the area.

Parents should accompany children to the groups but you are guaranteed to be kept busy themselves too. All events are free and booking isn't necessary so make the most of what's on offer!
