I don't usually give 5 stars out, but RAMM is well deserving of 5. Firstly, the admission is entirely free, which is always lovely. The exhibitions on show are fascinating to look at and learn about, and the staff are remarkably friendly. To top it all off, the café was unbelievably affordable, which is a marvellous addition. Therefore, if you are local and looking for a day out or simply in the area looking for something to do, it is a must do!

Love architecture and history and this is perfect place for me to visit. Amazing Cathedral that has a history of over 1000 years going back to the Saxon times. This cathedral is one of those historical places which are well preserved medieval stone vaulted ceiling. Firstly the church was constructed over 1000 years ago by saxons, and after many changes over the times as well as air raided by Nazis in WW2. Didn’t get a chance to look around inside because of construction work going on. There’s much to look around because every corner is full of sculptures and monuments. Specially i like the front of cathedral and around with 1000 sculptures on display giving you an amazing look of this building. There’s an astronomical clock very like the one in Prague. These days entry is just £5 which is nothing what you get. Its one of the must see landmark in Devon. If you’re in Exeter then try not to miss.

Our second visit in a month, family of 4 with a 10 and 13 year old. Diggerland Devon is a fantastic day out. Plenty for everyone to do and so much fun! The staff were all enthusiastic and helpful and the site was clean and well-run. We will recommend to everyone.

First ever visit to Crealy, what a fab place. Even though the weather in the morning was a mix of torrential rain and sun and we were skeptical of how successful the day would be, there was so much to do to suit all weathers and the kids X2 (and us adults x4) had he best time. Facilities were amazing, everything was very clean and tidy and rides are clearly well maintained. There were multiple different options for food and the pizzas and jackets potatos were delicious. We had the best day and will definitely be back again! Thank you for giving us an amazing family day out.

Our first visit to Hestercombe. It's been on our list to visit for ages. Very lovely staff at the entrance. Explained everything we needed to know. The gardens were lovely. Unfortunately it's been so dry that they are looking a bit parched. It didn't spoil our enjoyment though. Map is easy to read. Be aware that a lot of the trails are quite hilly and rough under foot so not suitable if you have mobility issues. There are however trails that are suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs etc. We didnt use the café as we brought our own food. The café is independently run. All in all a lovely few hours wander.

This was a surprise stop on a simple Saturday free time. The outside lures you in, a castle but a humble, clean, inviting one. The courtyard was charming and the gift shop was nice. It was fascinating to learn the history of the area I had explored for a while now. The staff were prideful and enthusiastic, helpful, and there was way more to see than expected - the history was rich, rebellious, tragic, charming. I do hope to return during special events and seasons.

Spotted signposted on our way to Sidmouth and decided to swing by on our way back and very happy we did. It was a lovely place to drop by at and a big place to walk around leisurely. Loads of donkeys all over the place and a fun little maze. Free entrance but we made a donation and bought some bits on their shop as it goes towards a nice cause looking after them and provides a nice place to come if you are in the area. Recommend it and if in the area again I am sure we would swing by again as like I say, was a nice place to walk around if nothing else. We went on a Saturday afternoon and was easy to park and not too busy. Relatively flat under foot, not that it mattered to us but just letting you know if you have any walking issues.

What a wonderful spot. I had done some walking in the area last year with my family but told myself that will come here on my bike. Got great weather, ice cream and coffee and 10h on the bike from London and back.

Lovely old world attraction that takes you through some picturesque countryside and ends up in the town of Colyton which is a nice place to wander around and grab some lunch. I would say not really suited to older children, but good day out for the family and you can get on and off all you like at other stops and make a full day of it! Well worth a visit!

We came with the children and booked in advance using tesco vouchers which is brilliant value. We started expoloring caves with knowledgable a d funny guide, caves were fantastic. Then we went through dinosaurs which were impressive as they moved. We attended the movie with great effects and had lunch in the cafe menu wasn't excessive but freshly cooked and reasonable priced and they had salad bar. . The paper museum was great but we didn't catch the demonstration. The circus performance was amazing and very entertaining. The crazy golf was great too eventhough we got very wet. Overall it's great place to visit with family only 20min from Cheddar village.

Amazing building! The Chapter House alone is remarkable and beautiful. Fascinating scissor arches in the main structure. Then you can spend another 2 hours+ in the Bishop's Palace and it's beautiful gardens!

Although the top two floors are closed for renovation, the ground floor is open and worth a visit. Grounds are extensive and plenty of long walks available. Suitable for dogs although there were some cattle in the grounds, which didn't seem to mind visitors. Cafe was good with plenty of seating. We had an interesting talk on the exterior of the building from Ray, which we enjoyed.

This was worth the visit and bigger than expected. Loved the way it was laid out and how they transitioned from one hanger onto a replica of a flight deck. Good informative videos. If you have a pram or are using a wheelchair it is still accessible though signs outside not so obvious but at the big stairs just head to left of them and press buzzer on gate. Staff very friendly and helpful. Next to the old cafe there is also a playground and tables where could have a small picnic.

We were overwhelmed to see this stunningly beautiful landmark during our recent day trip to Bath. Possibly the best example of Georgian Architecture. Facing a beautiful green lawn, a row of 30 terraced houses built about 250 years back, in the shape of a Crescent, offer a breathtaking view. On a nice sunny day, just admiring the beauty of this masterpiece, was so relaxing.

Hadn't visited here since the 1970s! It's really been developed so well. Audio guides were great, with enough but not too much information. Whole experience was immersive and very interesting. Great on a rainy day. We spent 2 hours here and loved it.

A unique bridge into Bath with shops and cafes right on it! The walk across the bridge is very pleasant, especially the beautiful views of the River Avon and the old buildings of the city. A great place for photos, a leisurely stroll and a quick stop at a cafe. The history and atmosphere is impressive!

Bath Abbey is an amazing place! The majestic architecture, beautiful stained glass, and incredible atmosphere are truly inspiring. The interior is richly decorated, and there is a gift shop as well as the opportunity to light candles. The tour provides lots of interesting insights into the Abbey's history. I highly recommend visiting to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this historic site.

My new home. It’s been a year since I moved here. Have now for the first time really started appreciating the beauty, magic in the air and home.

First visit here very impressive with extensive grounds. They certainly knew how to do it in style those days. Volunteers were very welcoming and informative. Plenty of rooms to visit with information books. Overwhelmed by the portraits so many such a lot to take in. Trees, grounds and temples were magnificent. Refreshments were very good plenty of choice especially near the pub. Combined a trip to Alfred s tower which is very close. Look how small the bricks are. Spent a good full day here

​Longleat Safari Park was an absolutely brilliant day out yet again—my fifth visit, in fact! The best part was easily the safari drive, and choosing the guided bus tour was a genius move. Our driver gave fantastic commentary, dropping great facts and making sure we all got a brilliant view—especially when we were nose-to-nose with the lions and those cheeky monkeys. The driver's humour, personality, and in-depth experience really stood out; that’s definitely something Longleat should be proud of. ​Just a heads-up though: get there as early as you possibly can! I made sure to explore the main grounds first this time. I highly recommend hitting the major attractions early before the crowds build up. Make the Boat Safari—to see the sea lions, gorillas, and monkeys—your first stop, followed up by the charming Longleat Railway. Both of those get busy really quickly. ​My one real bummer was finding out the penguin area was closed when I visited due to the avian bird flu pandemic. It was tough missing them, but totally understandable. Overall, Longleat is an outstanding family adventure and a must-do, but you’ll definitely need a solid plan to fit it all in!

Absolutely love this site. I know, it's a chalked dude on a hill but it is really a site to see. The hike is a bit of a trek but great views. The viewing area has a few spots to park but there is a car park down the road. Quick walk to town from the car park, or a little hike to the big guy.

Weymouth Beach is one of the most beautiful and family-friendly beaches on the south coast of England. With its *golden sand*, *gentle waves*, and *shallow waters*, it’s ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and beach games. The beach is clean, well-maintained, and has lifeguards during peak times, adding to the safety and comfort. There’s a classic British seaside charm here, with *donkey rides*, *ice cream stands*, *punch and judy shows*, and plenty of cafés and shops nearby. The long promenade is perfect for a walk with sea views, and there's easy access to toilets and seating areas. A perfect spot for a relaxing day out with family or friends — peaceful, scenic, and full of coastal charm. Highly recommended!

Went down in the evening after a lovely meal out. Watched the sailing vessels go past. Felt very liberating. Lovely space and lovely area. Be extremely careful of the water & ridal movements around this area as they can be extremely harsh & fast. Lovely place for a picnic or just somewhere to watch the world go by.

We recently visited the Tank Museum and it turned out to be one of the best museum experiences we've had in a long time. It’s a fantastic place for both kids and adults, offering something engaging for everyone. The entrance fee is very reasonable, and the fact that you can return for free within the next 12 months is a great bonus. I also suggest booking tickets online to save a few pounds. The museum itself is thoughtfully designed, with various areas that are both educational and enjoyable to explore. As suggested on their website, you really do need at least 4 hours to fully appreciate everything, it’s a place worth taking your time in. The café even has a soft play area, which is a brilliant addition for families with young children. The gift shop is another highlight, with a wide range of items at very good prices. Although we unfortunately missed it, the live tank action displays held on certain school holiday Mondays through Thursdays sound like an incredible experience and are definitely on our list for the next visit. Overall, I highly recommend the Tank Museum. It’s a memorable day out, well worth the time, and excellent value for money.

A great place to visit. Good price. Fascinating to spend time watching many different breeds. Keeper talks are informative and interesting. They know so much about each individual monkey & their back story. Some real characters there. A pleasant day out. Really enjoyed it. Would go again

I had a broken molar tooth extracted in August. Tamara was extremely good. I was worried that the tooth would break during the process and result in some uncomfortable 'digging around' to get it all out. She was very reassuring and I'm glad to say that she got the tooth out in one go. I had minimal bleeding and my gum soon healed. This dental practice is excellent. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you Jo & Co.

Three generations had a wonderful day here at Heavy Horse Farm. Once you've paid your entrance fee, all the activities and attractions (and there are SO many!) are free. It's not just about the horses, there are so many other things to enjoy too. You can bring a picnic as we did. It's a very safe space for children to just have a great fun day. My granddaughter who's autistic, was treated with kindness and allowed to help with the feeding and leading.

A beautiful traditional station with old steam and diesel engine train takes you back into time. We parked round the corner in Swanage car park costing £8 for the whole day parking and has a toilet on site and lots of parking space. We booked 2 x family tickets for up to 5 people per family for £45 each. Lots of space on train and lovely staff at the station and the station even had the old traditional feel and look about it. Once boarded on train the train visits 4 stations along the route. We got off at Corfe Castle and took a walk and lunch seeing the historic castle ruins and village. To visit the castle you have to purchase tickets but we opted to see the ruins from the path route and hill top views. The village has lots of shops to eat, drink and buy souvenirs. Was really great to hear the history and story from a volunteer who has been working on the train line for over 30 years. He was very funny and had a great sense of humour not just telling us about the train history but about the castle history also. Its a must visit, transports you back into time and worth the money. Thank you to everyone who is keeping this history alive!!

With a multi-storey car park next door, you're ok for somewhere to park, but I would suggest you pay for your parking before you leave the event to get out quicker. We only took about 20 minutes but I have heard stories about taking an hour to get out. The venue itself is very nice, modern and well-managed. I have seen many bands play there, and always had a good experience. Staff are helpful. Easy to get in and out of.
