A lovely family day out, this is a very old model village but has been kept beautifully. The park also has a great kids play area. This attraction does close during the coldest winter months though…

It is a great idea to book ahead with this one, weekdays are better as the park gets very crowded at weekends and bank holidays. A great tip is to arrive very early then make your way to the furthest point in the park and make your way back to the exit enjoying the rides as you go… Everybody else is doing it the other way!

Lovely large park with miles of walks and a some brilliant play areas for kids, plus a brilliant coffee shop. There is also a Sunday market on the last Sunday of each month. This is also worth a visit because it is a major filming location for the UK... I bet you can spot a location for a film you recently watched...! There is a parking charge of £2.50-3.50, but it is worth it. Also a branch (no pun intended!) of Go Ape! Lots of fun…
