BEE-COME A HERO THIS SUMMER ON HF HOLIDAYS' FAMILY ADVENTURES

Enjoy breathtaking views of the great outdoors and help to protect endangered wildlife on a Family Walking Adventure with HF Holidays this summer, where under 11's go free.

Bees are crucial to the environment, with EcoWatch stating that they are responsible for the production of 70% of the world's fruit, vegetables and seeds. Despite this, they are in danger, with 97% of their natural habitats lost over the years.*

HF Holidays has teamed up with local beekeepers and set up hives in the grounds of their country houses at Selworthy, Freshwater Bay, Derwentwater and Abingworth where they will champion the cause to preserve these beautiful creatures for generations to come.

On arrival, each child will receive a pack of HF Holidays bee seeds, containing an array of wildflower seeds that the bees just love. Children can then use them in their own garden at home and join the fight to save British bees.

Families can get a real buzz from their holiday this summer and choose from a selection of HF Holidays' UK Family Walking Adventures, including:

• Selworthy, Exmoor: 7 night Family Walking Adventure from £838pp plus under 11's go free

Departing on 29 July, families can enjoy a variety of guided walks with HF Holidays and explore the stunning national park, spot red deer and ponies from the top of Selworthy Beacon and even take the cliff railway up from Lynmouth to Lynton and the Valley of Rocks.
