It seems at the moment you can’t move for town trails.
We LOVE town trails. We’ve done the Fish Trail in Hull several times, and the guild heritage trail in Beverley.
Do you have a local town trail? Continue reading

Day five of our Lake District adventure and we decided to go and hunt for Superworm and the Gruffalo at Whinlatter Forest. Less than an hour’s drive from Penrith, Whinlatter Forest is a haven of walking, cycling, and wildlife-spotting fun.

Aira Force Falls, Ullswater, Cumbria
All information is correct at time of publication – August 2015
Day four of our Lake District adventure and we set off for Dockray to do another first – see an actual real-life waterfall. As we live in a watery but very flat area of the UK, a decent waterfall is something which the children have never seen. We thought we should use the opportunity of being in the Lake District to visit one.

South Lakes Safari Zoo, Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria
Day three of our Lake District holiday and we ventured a bit further afield – to South Lakes Safari Zoo, which is around a 1hr 30 minute drive from our Penrith base. We had heard that it was excellent value and great for children, so we thought we’d give it a whirl.
13Aug/15
Keswick Climbing Wall, Keswick, Cumbria
Day two of our Lake District adventure and the morning saw us take advantage of the resort’s very nice swimming pool.
After a refreshing swim and some quick lunch, we drove the twenty minutes to the popular town of Keswick, and paid a visit to Keswick Climbing Wall and Outdoor Activity Centre. Continue reading

Lakes Aquarium, Newby Bridge, Cumbria
Day one of our Lake District adventure and our trip on Windermere Lake Cruises took us to Lakeside where we disembarked and had a little visit to Lakes Aquarium, which is right next door to Lakeside harbour, and is brilliant for a more inclement day, which true to form, it was!

Windermere Lake Cruises, The Lake District
Day one of our Lake District adventure saw us drive south for an hour to Bowness-on-Windermere and our children experience something I think was a first for them – go on a proper boat. Continue reading
