Days Out

Whether you are looking for just something to do for an hour or two or wanting to get out for the day, these pages are our growing list of places we know about (or been recommended) suitable for adults and children.

As attractions change, come and go this page will naturally always be in the process of being reorganised and populated with entries as and when either we come across them or somebody suggests it.

We have split our suggestions for days out into several sections:

Countryside and Coast

Areas of countryside and coast, some well known others less so, open to the public for exploring and having a great day out.

Visitor attractions

Our page of short walks and visitor attractions (free and those that charge an entry fee)

Recreation/special activities and 'Gift Days'

Recreational activities that we have found suitable for children and/or youth.

If you know of an attraction or place to visit, suitable for small or large groups of youth and children we would love to hear about it and we'll add it to the list. Particularly any attractions that don't have a web presence. Any comments about your experience of it will also be most welcome. Email us with your suggestion.
