Head to the beach

Close to Watford is the Ruislip Lido, which is only a 25-minute drive away.

While it’s not a seaside resort there is a beach that surrounds a 60-acre lake. You can’t swim in the lake but you can sunbathe until your heart’s content.

There is also a play area for children to be kept entertained.
