Back to EpisodesA Literary-Themed UK Family Adventure (Part 1) – Planning a Trip with Teens with Lauren Eanes
Description
This week on the podcast Tracy chats with listener Lauren Eanes, who turned her family’s shared love of books into a literary-themed UK adventure. From Dickens’ Broadstairs and Winnie-the-Pooh’s Ashdown Forest to Tolkien and Lewis in Oxford and the landscapes of Watership Down, Lauren shares how stories shaped their itinerary - and how she kept her teens engaged along the way.
You’ll hear practical tips for planning a smooth family trip: combining trains with short car hire, using Airbnbs and meal deals to budget for splurges, and building in rest days for happy travellers.
Packed with inspiration, logistics, and lessons learned, this episode shows how to bring Britain’s literary world to life for the whole family.
