Best flying show I have seen, really interesting education about the birds and very passionate people, the birds welfare is a priority and they do some great work - we loved it so much we stayed for the second flights, highlight was the Sea Eagle in flight and the Burrowing Owl and the x4 kites flying together, peregrine was amazingly fast and the European owl so silent, vultures too were fascinating, highly recommend for everyone - food was good too at the cafe and locally sourced and rubbish recycled. Do go along and support them as I imagine it is very expensive to run, they do rescue work as well and breeding programme for the endangered species.

Fascinating one hour tour with a short walk down the pit. Very informative and insightful. Couldn’t fault Richard who was our patient guide (and also a miner) - a real character with a great sense of humour. Loved it. Great cafe too.

Wonderful selection of herbs organised well and informative. Only open on certain days, check website for details. Brilliant courses on herb garden design given by Jekka herself, and now cooking with herbs available. Lovely coffee shop with refreshments and herbs for sale on open days, including seeds and original prints, cards and graphics by Hannah, Jekka's daughter. Very inspiring. come and linger.

Me and my friend Sophie had such an exciting and fun visit here! Angel was fantastic and told us all about the Llamas... they were so calm and friendly and with the coffee and homemade biscuits at the end we really felt at home by the end of the time there! Would definitely recommend for something different to try.

Who hasn't dreamed of staying in a romantic castle tucked away in the English countryside? You can at the 16th-century Thornbury, which is a perfect home base for exploring the region of South Wales, the Cotswolds, Bristol, Wye Valley and Somerset.

We bought the afternoon tea at an local auction the castle had kindly donated. Fantastic selection of teas and a beautifully presented selection of sandwiches, quiches, scones and cakes. Didn’t realise the castle had been taken over by a hotel chain so many changes since my last visit over 20 years ago. The grounds are spectacular with the two heli pads as you enter through the walls. A lovely place to watch the birds dancing in the skies and dream of days gone by.
10. Chedworth Roman Villa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 888 reviews
Considered one of the most extensive and complete Roman villas in England, this structure was occupied from the late second century to the mid-fourth century.
Reviewed By RhinoLondon_England - Ottery St. Mary, United Kingdom
The floors and foundations of a large Roman Villa with the mosaics of the principal rooms under a specially created building with floating walkways as well as other outlying remains set in a most peaceful head-of-the-valley setting in a remote location. There’s plenty of outside space to sit, stroll and picnic, a small museum in a Victorian hunting lodge, a National Trust visitor centre with shop & etc. Parking is either immediately adjacent or a short stroll away. Well worth the trip.
