We had a fantastic, memorable family experience here! The session was very well organised and managed, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, the animals were all well cared for and loved, and there were lovely extra touches such as the tea and cake, feeding the other animals as well as the alpacas, and the sweet little shop of souvenirs! The booking system was straightforward and effective, with clear information on what to expect and how to come prepared, as well as reminders running up to the event. We would definitely recommend the experience!

National Trust Cliveden

Set high above the Thames with far-reaching views, Cliveden’s impressive gardens and majestic woodlands capture the grandeur of a bygone era. There's lots going on around the estate whether it's for a gentle stroll through the formal gardens or a race through the woods with the children, dogs and adults - Cliveden has something for everyone, and everyone's welcome!

Reviewed By B5802OGlisab

Such beautiful gardens need a visit. Families and dogs are welcome which is lovely to see. The water gardens and pools reminded us of Monets paintings. There is a playground for children, lovely sculptures about the gardens, lots of different specimens of trees and flowers including a rose garden planted with David Austin roses. The smell was delightful!

National Trust Stowe

The scale, grandeur and beauty of Stowe has inspired writers, philosophers, artists, politicians and members of the public from the 18th century to the present day. Since the National Trust acquired the gardens in the late 1980s, an ambitious programme of restoration has ensured that over 40 temples and monuments remain, gracing an inspiring backdrop of lakes and valleys with an endless variety of walks and trails, a delightful visit, any time of year.

Reviewed By L2270ICdavidp - Rochester, United Kingdom

These are the most spectacular gardens to visit. Be prepared to walk about 3 miles and use the map provided at the entrance to get the best experience. There is a buggy ride if you need it.After a short walk from the New Inn, you enter the gardens and are treated to a spectacular view across the lake towards the house. As you walk around the estate, you come across quirky structures, statues, glades and more. There’s a surprise around every corner. Stowe is a wonderful example of 18th century opulence- a great example of showing off about wealth , a legacy that we can still enjoy today.

As a nervous beginner, over 50 years old, I've had 4 fab ski lessons with different instructors in the last few weeks - John, Alex, Ovi and Gary. All very patient, clear informative, and I'm making progress beyond what I expected. Slow but sure! They always work at my pace. Great facility and excellent instructors.

Lovely place to visit in Olney. The team have worked hard to make the gardens and museum Covid safe. Great to learn so much more about Cowper and Newton and their ministry in the area that has impacted so many lives over the years. Great fun for all ages and lots of interesting things to see and learn about. Would recommend visiting when you're in the area.

Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital Visitor's Centre

Reviewed By JNewman93 - Derby, United Kingdom

I turned up expecting a small centre for wildlife rehabilitation, instead it was almost zoo sized! it was absolutely amazing! I honestly didn’t realise just how big this place is, speaking of zoo’s, tiggywinkles Centre is better than some zoo’s that I have been to. You can get right up close to the endearing wildlife within the centre such as ducks, hedgehogs, badgers, foxes, birds of prey, various deer to name a few. The staff a very knowledgeable and give talks and you can tell they are so keen about their work and the what they do for wildlife is exceptional! Its a brilliant visit set in a lovely area of England. I absolutely will be visiting again very soon. Thanks for an amazing day tiggywinkles.

A beautiful, historic landmark and exclusive wedding venue with extensive award-winning gardens, tucked away in idyllic Buckinghamshire countryside. Chenies Manor House is one of the UK’s finest Tudor Mansion Houses. Steeped in history, the Grade I Listed building is set in Buckinghamshire’s charming estate village of Chenies and overlooks the Chess Valley.

The idyllic rural setting of the manor also benefits close proximity to London and London Heathrow, situated just outside of the M25.

Reviewed By Croxley4 - Rickmansworth, United Kingdom

Beautiful gardens on a rainy afternoon. Optional free interesting and passionate talk given on the history of the manor by a lady with a broken wrist ( apologies I didn't ask your name) including details of some fairly recent finds by the Time Team and some ghostly tales followed by coffee and cake included in the £6.00 timed tea room ticket. There is also a well deeper than the height of Nelson's Column that you can see right to the bottom of thanks to some clever lighting. Although the manor and church weren't open there is still plenty to see. Will definitely return when the house reopens.
