To Freshwater Eastand Barafundle Bay near Tenby to dig in the sand and explore the rocks. Wonderful memories of their parents enjoying this.

I would take my grandson to dive on the Great Barrier Reef, so much of the reef is dying every year I so want him to experience it in his lifetime.

I would take my grandson Oliver to Disney Land in Florida as he would absolutely love it

The Northern Lights

I have two DGC.
Who are 5 &8. This week their little life came tumbling down because their little Nana passed away.(this is their Dear Great Great Gran.)
She was their life . She lived next door to myself and after doing the teatime school run. They would dash in to tell her about their day.
My point is they now think she is the brightest star in the sky. So for me to take them to see the Northern Lights would be nothing but tremendous.
It would be an added bonus if they were to see a polar bear too .
They are obsessed but its sat that there is a possibility they may become extinct in thier lifetime.

I would take them to Indonesia and Senegal where their fathers were born. To experience a completely different culture and learn a new language and see that home can be anywhere if you open your heart and widen your horizons.

North Pole to see Santa Claus

I would take my grandchildren to Rekyvik to see the Northern lights and take them on a boat trip while we are there to see the Puffins and watch Whales take them to the thermal pond and let them see the Geezers and to breathe in the lovely fresh and clean air

I would like to take my Grandchildren to Australia to see an amazing flora and fauna, to visit Australia ZOO and admire beautiful scenery. I would love to teach them about protecting
marine environment, coral species, marine mammals and a wide range of seabirds. This would be an incredible experience for all of us which will stay in our memories forever.

I would take my three wonderful granddaughters, 4, 10 and 12 to Perth, Western Australia to see their Auntie (my daughter).
Western Australia has beautiful beaches, wonderful wildlife, sunny weather and blue skies. And lots of wonderful things to do! Idyllic!

I’d take them to the beautiful English Lake District where there are so many activities for all the family. I do rather hope it doesn’t rain too much!

It might sound dull to some - but I would love to take mine to the Isle of Wight. We live in the midlands now, but I grew up there many years ago & it holds many special memories for me.
I would love for the next generation to see this beautiful Island, enjoy the unspoilt coastlines & taste a little of the freedom I had while growing up there.

Disneyland

Jenngas Sun 13-Oct-19 09:05:22

I’d take the to the Marina Bat area in Singapore , to the top of the Marina Bay Hotel (which is shaped like a boat in the sky) and on to the Gardens by the Bay next door with the wonderful metal trees that you can go up into.

IvvieN Sun 13-Oct-19 09:13:43

I would take my grandkids to North Norway and the Arctic Circle. We’d go dog sledding (terrifying but unforgettable!), stand on frozen lakes drinking hot chocolate to see the Northern Lights, and go on a sleigh ride to see Santa and his reindeer, while the children are still young enough to believe. Magical!!

pinksilver Sun 13-Oct-19 09:22:40

I would take my granddaughter to the USA to visit family. She would travel quite a bit as they are scattered far and wide and we might leave the Florida relatives to last as we could then include a visit to Disneyland as the cherry on the cake

woo69 Sun 13-Oct-19 09:37:09

We would go to the Lake District for a week and explore lots of places I went to as a child but they haven’t been to

Juno56 Sun 13-Oct-19 10:16:37

My first grandchild hasn't been born yet (due next month) but I would take her to where I had many happy childhood holidays, and where I took her mother, Crantock in Cornwall. A traditional seaside holiday in a wonderful part of the country.

Catterygirl Sun 13-Oct-19 10:29:22

I would take them to Trinidad where I lived for a while in the 60's. I would show them how sugar grows, the amazing beaches and wildlife.

trishtone Sun 13-Oct-19 11:40:11

I'd like to take my two grandchildren to Cornwall where they can experience open spaces, beautiful beaches and fresh clean air. Their idea of a good beach is limited to a small stony and crowded area.

Anita79 Sun 13-Oct-19 11:49:15

I would take them to Scotland as I have never been. It would be fun for all of us. Love to see the Castle, the catacombs and the marvellous scenery

littlemonkeyz Sun 13-Oct-19 11:51:04

I would take them to the Canadian Rockies as that is where my parents took me as a child. I have some magical memories and would love to share them with my grandchildren.

I would take them to Bamburgh, Northumberland to walk on the golden beaches and then a trip around the beautiful castle. Then onto Holy Island and the truly wonderful area full of history. They would then be taken on a trip around Northumberland where we would stop at Seahouses for some wonderful fish and chips. Ate while watching the sea come in and out. Beautiful.
