An absolutely fantastic distillery tour! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I seriously recommend this experience. Our guide was clearly passionate about their product, and we learned so much about how they make their whisky — all done the old-fashioned way, which was fascinating to see. On top of that, there’s a lovely perfume store and a crystal shop on site, which made the visit even more

A Truly Memorable Visit to Wallace Monument The Wallace Monument is a wonderfully organized attraction with excellent access and free shuttle service. At the foot of the hill stands a spacious, free car park for both cars and buses – a thoughtful gesture from the local council. Nearby, you’ll find a visitor centre with a gift shop, clean toilets, and a café. The small shuttle bus departs regularly from just outside and takes visitors up the hill in about 3 minutes. For those who prefer to walk, the uphill path takes about 15 minutes – it’s quite steep but paved and equipped with benches for resting along the way. At the top, there’s a viewing terrace with benches placed around the tower, offering a place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Entrance to the monument closes at 5 PM, so make sure to arrive in good time. Exploring all the exhibition rooms inside the tower takes about 30 minutes, including climbing the very narrow spiral staircase. The exhibits are engaging and well-curated, including a short but informative film about the Battle of Stirling Bridge and the legendary William Wallace himself. The panoramic view from the observation platform at the top of the tower is absolutely breathtaking and leaves a lasting impression. The vista over the battlefield and the river below is truly unforgettable. After descending, consider stopping by the gift shop – it’s the best place to find affordable souvenirs such as magnets, T-shirts, and unique memorabilia. Opposite the shop, there is also a small bistro for drinks and light meals. You can return downhill either on foot or via shuttle. In total, the visit takes about 3 hours. On a beautiful day, this is a perfect spot for a short historical journey and an outdoor lunch with a view.

My wife and I went first thing in the morning when it opened at 930am. on a Saturday. The castle was wonderful and rich in history. We did not have a tour guide, just walked around ourselves and enjoyed the beauty and architecture of this historical place. The views are stunning. About a 17-minute uphill walk from the train station, and it seemed way faster on the way down, like 5 minutes. It's worth exploring and enjoying the excellent and magnificent history Scotland has to offer. It also has a few gift shops around the location and also toilets which is a plus. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Don't forget your Stirling Castle Magnets!

We used our National Trust membership for access and expected just to wander round a wet battlefield. Instead, we were given an informative and engaging guided talk through the visitor centre. Because of this, we understood so much more about why this battle was important, and how a small army achieved such astonishing success. The large audio visual nicely demonstrates the weapons used and their effectiveness, while still being appropriate for children. It made the following walk out to the memorial more meaningful, as we could understand what had happened at which bits of the landscape. It really is all very well done. There is also a nice cafe with large windows and a variety of seating available. The toilets were clean and no queue. There's a room with costumes of the era to try on.

Absolutely brilliant museum! Can't miss this one when on Glasgow! Definitely worth spending some time here and then some! Setting aside the great architecture of the building itself the collections are absolutely fantastic catering to varying tastes from Natural History to Painting to Design. And to top it all, it's free! The shop doesn't disappoint either if that's high on your priorities 😉

Anyone that gives this museum less than 5 stars needs to have a word with themselves. This museum is such an asset to Glasgow and worth a visit for all ages. Firstly it’s free which after visiting we couldn’t believe. There is so much to see and do and we spent hours exploring all the exhibits. Inside is split over two floors with all areas wheelchair accessible. You can get up and close with vehicles of all shapes and sizes from old police cars, ambulances and fire engines to steam rollers, motorbikes and cars of every shape and size. It has a great selection of steam trains on display and we loved the old fashioned street display where it felt you were walking back in time and you could explore all the old shops and even subway train. There is a lovely wee cafe and gift shop too.

The street is full of all kinds of shops. There are some good souvernir shops along here. It does get very busy at the weekends, particularly during the late afternoon. There are places to eat along the street. The street is accessible to people who use a wheelchair.

Brilliant day at the jousting and reenactments event on the grounds of the palace. As we'd bought tickets for the event, we were able to access the palace also. Great fun exploring with fantastic views from the top of the tower. The jousting and medieval village together with the authentic music and costumes made for a really enjoyable family day out for not much money. Lots of stuff to get the kids involved

Beautiful cemetery within walking distance of Glasgow city centre. Spent about an hour looking around. I'm sure there would be something interesting to see each visit. Very peaceful with lovely views of Glasgow Cathedral and loved the spring blossom. Free to enter.

Hands down one of the best zoo in the UK. It's just £21 on the spot in 2025. it has an incredible story behind It so many animals and such a good variety. The zoo is very walkable. The talks were interesting. A big kids play area. And you can get chased by a goose. And some unique animals like the bear, the goose and more. I got no words, I was really happy there.

Very nice place to walk around - lots to see and do - but the views of the Falls are the best thing about it still. I was staying in the hotel and the weather picked up so I had a good walk round before the rain reappeared. Used to come years ago with the kids - and it is still as beautiful. Nicely looked after. Well worth a visit, especially if you haven’t been before.

Beautiful place and so impressive. The building is amazing and the tour we had was superb. The lady was very engaging and knew her stuff so the tour was fascinating. Lunch was delicious and the staff were all fantastic. My daughter is 10 and enjoyed the adventure playground, but so did my 14 year old son. Can't recommend enough!

We did the late night discovery event, and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff were so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and passionate. They really brought everything to life with their knowledge and enthusiasm. We asked endless questions and they patiently answered every single one! The facility is incredible, the view is breathtaking. But the main attraction is the dark sky, which boggles the mind. We have stiff necks from spending hours stargazing! I cannot recommend it more highly! We loved every minute.

We really enjoyed our visit here. As members there was no entrance fee, but even if we were paying the entrance fees due a family of 3 was really reasonable. The castle ans grounds are really well looked after and there is a lot of interesting things to see inside the castle. It is definitely worth walking to the old castle ruins just a 5 minute walk behind the main castle. It is a great place to take a picnic and there is also a really nice park for the kids too tuckered away.

Small museum but definitely well worth a visit. Discover the story behind the 'porridge' at HM Greta which was the largest munitions factory during the 1st World War. Found it fascinating and spent quite some time there. Staff were very helpful and informative. There is a small gift shop and nice cafe. Suitable to wheelchair users as there is a lift to upper floor and suitable clean toilets.

Brilliant, knowledgeable, fun, kind, friendly staff everywhere. Loads to see, touch, do & learn. Lovely cafe & gift shop. Archeological team working outside in real time digging up history. Brilliant to see & appreciate the last 2000 years of history.

Is Center Parcs expensive? Yes. Is it worth the money? Absolutely! We stayed in a 2 bedroom Woodland Lodge in Badger Wood, it was lovely. Spotlessly clean, super comfortable and a perfect location. We had red squirrels on our deck every day, ducks coming to see us and a variety of other birds too. So peaceful and relaxing. The activities were well run and great fun. The pool was spotlessly clean and very warm. We all had a wonderful time!

We visited Aira Force during a weekend away from Manchester and were really pleased we made the stop. We arrived early, so parking was easy, though I can imagine it gets quite busy later in the day, especially during peak times. There is a bit of walking involved, including a fair number of steps, so it may not be ideal for those with larger pushchairs or anyone who finds walking difficult. That said, the paths are well maintained and the surroundings are lovely. The waterfalls themselves were fantastic powerful, scenic and well worth the effort. The whole area has a peaceful, natural charm and is clearly well looked after. It’s somewhere we would definitely return to next time we’re in the area. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys nature and a bit of light walking.

Around a 30 min walk to the top with a more accessible route available and gorgeous view at the end. Caught a beautiful sunset as well!

We had a lovely boat trip around the lake. It’s huge with lots to see and learn about while on our boat trip. We had excellent weather which helped.

Do you enjoy the imaginary world created by the wonderful Beatrix Potter, or simply the famous Peter Rabbit? This is a great place to spend the day exploring an amazing curated environment in a busy town. Make sure you travel light and avoid bringing your buggy if possible as it does get rather tight spaced with the audience viewing but they do control no. Of people at a time as there is a 3min video at the start. Get the free activity book and find the answers with your children. There is also two cafe - one that offers coffee and cakes and painting, the other (across the road) is newly added which offers food also but closes early and can get rather busy.

I visited the Wensleydale Creamery with my two young daughters (ages 1 and 4) and we all had a lovely time. The demonstration on how cheese is made was really interesting, and it was great to be able to view the factory in action. The cheese tasting was a highlight for me – so many varieties to try, and all delicious. I also found the prices in the shop and café to be very reasonable, which was a nice surprise. My girls especially enjoyed the interactive parts of the visitor experience, which kept them engaged and made it fun for the whole family. Overall, it’s a great place for both adults and children to enjoy. I’d definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the Yorkshire Dales.

This experience was enriching. Parking is excellent; if you time it right, there's no need to wait for the tour. Make sure you dress warmly and have shoes that don't slip. The staff on tour was friendly and really knowledgeable. Well done. I do recommend the visit as the cave experience is unique in every way. However, the staff in the shop were a bit sour, with no smiles or kindness. I felt like I was being watched all the time. One young man at the till had excellent customer skills and knowledge. Thank you, overall great experience.

What a great day out, really nice walk, quite difficult for older people, and a definite no for a little of disabled. But give it a go if you have good support and family assistance. They have a few places for a brew or snack, and even an ice cream van about half way. I think we took about 3 + hours, and walked about 4 miles. Do it you won't regret.

Visited on Tuesday 01st October 2024. Lovely visit to the town including Eric Morecambe's Statue. Beyond the statue itself, there is a user-activated audio guide to Eric's history. Details of that history are captured in engravings and plaques around the statue on various levels. Parking nearby and the area has been maintained well.

Had a wonderful and interesting tour by Sandra. You do need a tour to see most of the castle, but it was well worth it. Courtyard and businesses inside are free otherwise. Fascinating to be inside both the historic (and only closed recently) prison and the still functioning crown courts. Building is stunning and lovely views from just outside too

Brilliant farm for a family day out, lots of animals for the children to pet and hand feed, indoor play area with bouncy castle and ball park, outside playground with trampoline. Picnic area outside and cafe which sells delicious ice creams and hot/cold foods. Lots of different animals all happy to let you pet them. Museum on site and clean toilets available. Easy to get to and from the farm the farm with bus stop right at the entrance. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a glorious sunny day and Brockholes had been on our to-go list for some time. What a beautiful place, it's well laid out, there is a great team of volunteers to provide advice, lots of picnic tables and food walks. We will most definitely return.

Brilliant day! The team of volunteers are wonderful, friendly and kind. They take such good care of the birds and are great with the audience, especially the children. So many beautiful owls and birds of prey. If you watch the 12.30 display there’s plenty of opportunities for the kids to help fly the birds and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and entertaining. The thing I loved is that the place isn’t polished and aimed at rinsing money out of tourists, it’s all about the birds and making sure they are cared for and understood. A little hidden gem. Thank you for having us, we’ll be back!

We are tourists visiting the area, and we had a wonderful time at Smithills Open Farm! The atmosphere was fantastic, and everyone was so kind and friendly. A special mention goes to the gentleman driving the tractor ride – he was incredibly cheerful and friendly, and made the experience even more fun. There are many different animals to see, and lots of fun activities for both kids and adults. We took part in several of the attractions and enjoyed every minute of it. The only thing we didn’t like was seeing the owls kept in very small cages, and the calves separated from their mothers, which made us a bit sad. We also noticed a sense of sadness in the eyes of the cows being milked, which was quite touching. Additionally, we believe that very young children should not be allowed to hold the animals on their own. It would be better if they could simply touch them gently under the supervision of a farm staff member, as small children often don’t yet have the awareness to handle animals carefully, and may unintentionally cause them harm. We highly recommend this place to families and tourists – it’s a great day out!
