You’ve finished your exams and you’re ready for a break, right? Well,we’ve been looking at thousands of UK holiday destinations for teenagers and chosen four that we think you will love. Take your pick!

A.

Teens in search of excitement and extreme sport will have an unforgettable time at Wales’ newest adventure centre. Deep below the Snowdonia National Park, The Llechwedd Slate Caverns hide a strange underground world of trampoline nets and zip lines where you can fly and jump through an old mine. Above ground, there are 4x4 drives and a tourist train for those who want something more relaxing, but others need to prepare themselves for a truly unique and breathtaking experience: the fastest zip line in the world! Fly over the Welsh countryside for nearly two kilometres, where you can travel at speeds of up over 100 mph while taking in unbeatable mountain views. Cabins are available from £120 per night. Book now!

B.

England’s capital is full of entertainment. This is especially the case if you are keen on history and culture. You can walk past the UK Parliament and the guards at Buckingham Palace or enjoy many of London’s city parks where there is always something going on. But, where London excels, is its museums. You can spend hours in the Natural History Museum, the British Museum or the Science Museum with their amazing permanent exhibitions. One thing is for sure, you will never be short of activities to stimulate your mind in this city. Double rooms are available from £167 but there are plenty of youth hostels that can be much cheaper. Book now!

C.

If you’re a fan of waves or bodyboarding, Cornwall is where you want to be. It’s a great place to learn to surf, and everyone who comes here can easily see why. The long sandy beaches are truly awesome, and the waves are perfect for all levels of surfer. Another reason to come to Cornwall is the Eden Project which hosts the largest indoor rainforest in the world. Walk through thousands of plants from South East Asia, and West Africa to tropical South America. It’s like stepping into a different world. Family rooms in luxury hotels with a pool from £260. Book now!

D.

Alton Towers is the UK’s biggest theme park. Get your adrenaline rush from rides such Rita (0-60mph in 2.5 seconds), Oblivion (the world’s first vertical drop rollercoaster) and Galactica (a "flying" rollercoaster with riders in a horizontal flight position). New for this year is the Alton Towers Dungeon, a 45-minute hi-tech journey through dark history with real actors. There’s plenty of places to stay, including hotels, forest lodges and stargazing pods –wooden houses with glass roofs so you sleep under the stars. We also love the Rollercoaster restaurant, in which food literally flies through the air to your table. Holiday homes from £120. Book now!
