Lightwater Valley Theme Park

Lightwater Valley is near Ripon in North Yorkshire. It has around 35 rides and attractions and is a theme park for younger families (more suited to children aged 9 and under). Things have changed a bit and they are now aiming at younger families. Make sure you pick up a map so that you can plan your route through the park. Most days there is a cute train running to take you from one area to the other which we love but it doesn’t take too long to walk around.
