LEGOLAND Billund Resort is home to a large theme park with a great range of rides which are suitable for toddlers through to young teenagers. The LEGOLAND Billund Resort has two hotels and a holiday village. […]
We loved our visit to LEGOLAND at Billund in Denmark. The LEGOLAND Billund Resort is the original LEGOLAND par and it was opened on 7 June 1968 in Billund, Denmark. LEGO was invented by a Danish carpenter in Billund in 1930 so if you are a LEGO fan then this is the place to visit! All […]
Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark is centrally located in the city and is very easy to get to. When we first realised where it was located we couldn’t believe it. It is right in the heart of the city amongst shops and restaurants. Tivoli Gardens is surrounded by a large and very high wall and […]
As well as having some wonderful properties to visit the National Trust also have some of the best adventure playgrounds in the UK. This post rounds up 20 of the best National Trust playgrounds. I often think about what fun it would be to go on a tour of National Trust properties around the UK. […]
Last June we stayed at Woodland Lakes Lodges on the outskirts of Thirsk in North Yorkshire. It’s a great base to explore the local area and we were only a short drive from Monk Park Farm and Sutton Bank Visitor Centre. The site has a range of wooden lodges although our lodge was more like […]
I have been wanting to visit the Hawk Conservancy Trust for some time now as it has an excellent reputation for both its conservation work and its excellent bird of prey displays. PLUS there is the added bonus that they offer a Meet the Burrowing Owls VIP Experience. The Hawk Conservancy Trust is located near […]
My goodness, this post was a labour of love. It has taken me days’ worth of writing and research. As a caravan owner and fan of staying in static caravans, I am always on the lookout for new sites to try. I decided to compile a list of 50 seaside resorts in the UK and […]
Before we booked to go to Disneyland Paris for three days I googled like mad to find out if it was truly worth taking our nearly 3 at the time toddler. My husband and I went many years ago with friends and I didn’t have too many memories of there being loads of rides for the little ones. I was […]
Just before Christmas, I asked my son if there was anything he still wanted to do this year. Luckily for me, he asked for a themed afternoon tea. I’d had Cupcakes 2 Love in Doncaster, South Yorkshire on my to-do list so I booked us in as pre-booking is essential. Sadly we got snowed in […]
We are lucky to live between 4 great tourist attractions in the UK that offer free returns. (Once you have paid for your first visit). Before my son started school they were absolutely fabulous days out for us as we could take along a picnic and proof of our free returns. All I really had […]
I don’t know about you but I am useless at following a set walk that goes off into the countryside. We always end up getting lost. For the purpose of this post I have chosen places for families to go for a walk where it isn’t a case of crossing this stile, walking a bit […]
My son at the ripe old age of 8 had still not learnt how to ride a bike. He’d had a balance bike when he was a toddler but rarely used it. We then bought him a bike with stabilisers which he hated so he rarely rode it. We then bought him a bigger bike […]
