The Best Board Games to Take on Your Caravan Holiday
When it comes to holidaying in the UK, visiting West Wales and staying in a caravan is a firm favourite for many families and couples alike. Caravan holidays in West Wales have been popular for many years and that doesn’t look like it’ll be changing any time soon. However, when it rains, as it often does in the UK, you may need to stay indoors and find something else to keep the family occupied.

A great way to combat this boredom and to help pass the time is to take a few of your favourite board games on holiday with you. If you’re looking for things to do on caravan holidays if it rains then look no further, we’ve got some great board games for you to choose from.
