Worth visiting for some fine architectural and other features. A large and impersonal building lacking atmosphere. Large number of unused pews in the main building while a service was on, attended by four people, in a side room. Not a church that is welcoming . But as an historical relic worth a look

I am aware of how many houses of the holy I'm getting through looking for the smiting one. Let's be clear, they're all magnificent structures. They're all remarkably well built, the craftsmanship is second to none and this example is fairly typical of how good they all are. My mind is blown on a regular basis and will continue to be blown as long as I remain untouched by lightning 🌩 bolt.

I’m not a Christian, but I love visiting churches when I travel, because I can feel the history, culture, and life in them. St. John the Baptist Church in Cirencester is a symbol of the town. I was captivated by its delicate architecture. I recently saw the musical “SIX” and became interested in the six queens, so when I found that there was a “Boleyn Cup” here, I was so excited!

The Church is beautiful, lovely service and I was made to feel very welcome ❤️ there is a fantastic selection of things to buy in the shop and the staff are very helpful. I will never forget my time here and I will definitely be back in the near future. God Bless you all 🙏🏻🕊️

Fantastic town excellent Baptist Church not religious but love buildings this is definitely one to go look around

Free to visit but they do ask for donations. Little shop inside, very pretty well worth a visit.

An excellent parish church which is large and grand enough to be a Cathedral. There are plenty of interesting exhibits inside the church, including some amazing monumental brasses and a Lego model of how Cirencester Abbey used to look. There is also a shop and a visitor book inside.

Excellent exhibits with great educational elements! The whole family enjoyed it. The people were very informative as well.

I told one of the staff that the mannequins looked too real and were a bit scary, and then she kindly showed me around the exhibition and told me some stories. All the staff were so nice and helpful, and I learned a lot about the history of Cirencester. It’s one of my loveliest memories in Cirencester. Thank you very much!

Made the mistake of "bigging" the Corinium up in my mind before entering. Big mistake. It could never live up to what my (former) drug addled brain could imagine and when you've taken as many hallucinogens as I have in the past I was expecting to be mugged by an iron age thug or Roman centurian around every corner. It's a museum and is full of museumy things from the past. Daft thing to write as I've yet to visit a museum which looks to the future. Thought it was a tad pricey even though I got the crinkley discount. The staff were nice in the extreme. They put up with the mouthy northern one (me) without banning me from returning at some point. I hope they've forgiven me for leaving my 'up the boro' message before I departed.

An excellent museum with some quite beautiful mosaics and engaging history of Cirencester over the millennia. Let down by some sloppy attention to detail with their timeline boards. Guy Fawkes' assassination attempt was a year later and Edward VII was crowned a whole 3 years before.

Brilliantly presented museum. Small enough to get round in an hour or two yet packed with great exhibits. One of the best range of Roman exhibits I've seen. Kids really enjoyed the interactive elements and the light and open layout.

Such a fabulous museum tucked away. I can't believe we hadn't been here before. Incredible Roman mosaics. Such a swathe of Gloucestershire history. Amazing resource. Lovely volunteer showed us around the Roman section. Do visit.

Entered tobe met bt informative reception staff ! A very nice lady volunteer offered to show us around the museum. We accepted and the the 3 of us will forever be grateful for the knowledge she had and the information and explanation of the museum's wonderful displays!! Thank you !! 😊 13/11/25

Truly a beautiful place to visit! The ruins are still in great condition, and it’s fascinating to walk through while reading the information provided in each area where you really get a sense of the history. There were other visitors while we were there, but it still felt peaceful, as everyone was really aware of their surroundings by being careful and quiet. When you arrive, parking is available, and then you walk across the street to reach the court and garden area. The grounds are very well maintained, tidy, and perfect for family bonding or even just a quiet, relaxing stroll. The fountain runs every hour, and there are so many picturesque spots for photos. The staff were accommodating and approachable, which made the visit even nicer. There’s also a tea room just a short walk from the court with plenty of seating and a variety of choices. The only thing I’d note is that the ruins themselves aren’t easily accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs, since you need to park them outside before entering. (There’s no ramp going to the ruins, only stairs) It would be wonderful if this could be improved in the future. Overall, a lovely and memorable place to spend time.

Been here a few times, it's under the English heritage membership. Around £11 for an adult ticket. Nice children's play area, 3 big wooden constructs along with a smaller slide and basket swing. The fountain is great with only set times it goes off, still impressive. The manor in self is more of a shell but well maintained. The tearooms off the side of the church are lovely, with indoor and outdoor options. With prices ranging £8-10 per person for lunch options.

A beautiful place to spend a relaxing day, just 15 minutes drive from Droitwich. The gardens are stunning and well-maintained, and the ruins of Witley Court add a fascinating historic touch. The fountain that runs on the hour is a must-see, plus the nearby church and tea room complete the visit perfectly. Highly recommended!

Spent a lovely afternoon wandering around the site, through the old building ruins, short walks, a church (still in use) and the wonderful fountain that runs every hour then the tea rooms to finish off the day. Seems like it's an ongoing restoration process, will have to visit again in years to come when I'm in the area, had a good day 😁.

Lovely English heritage gardens and ruined (shell) of former stately home. There are several signs throughout the (now shell of a) home, though a free audio guide is also available from the entrance. The signs are nice to see how it looked before the 1930s fire. The grounds are also pretty to walk through, as is seeing the fountain in working form on the hour. Able to have a nice overview on 45-60 minutes. Small shop, used books, and toilets near the front. Note it is about a 5-10 minute walk from the car park to the house. I’m also not sure it’s be worth the entry fee unless an English Heritage member or particularly keen to see this site.

Lovely place to wander round especially on a sunny day. Pleasant gardens, lake and woodland walks. Sad to see such a grand house in ruins, but still a fair bit to see.

Great day out, we arrived early parked it was £3.50 for the day on top of your entrance fee but they do accept Gardeners world 2 for 1. Very well maintained and enjoyable visit the fountain display is on the hour. The tea rooms were amazing had home made cake and hot drinks loads of seats. There was wedding in the church so we couldn’t go inside so will definitely go back and have a second taste test for the cakes.

A beautiful place to worship, celebrate, seek solace, and just enjoy the moment. It’s free to enter but they welcome donations! Our little pooch was able to join us for a self guided tour around the abbey. Plenty of information boards to learn about its history. There is an adjoining cafe with toilets. Well worth the visit!

Beautiful church. If you have a couple of hours, don't miss out on the riverside walk along the Severn and the Anglo-Saxon chapels of St. Mary's and St. Odda's. Things you hardly get to see anywhere!!

This magnificent Abbey started life as a Benedictine Monastery in 1102. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1540 the Abbey Church survived destruction because it was sold to the local parishioners for £453 and became the parish church. It has the largest Norman church tower in existence and is also famous for its beautiful stained glass which dates from the medieval period.

Intense resonant acoustic as a music venue. We came to experience some sublime polyphonic sacred music from the wonderful Tallis Choral Foundation. Allegri’s Miserere was a particular highlight.

Really impressive church. They were preparing for a talk about the moon, hence the gigantic moon in the pictures. I assume it'll be gone shortly. There are some very moving memorials to those who died in the wars. There is also an interesting section where medieval knights (I think) are buried. The absolute highlight for me was the shop. Probably the best church shop I've ever happened across, not big, but stocked with beautiful hand made items, all tasteful and reasonably priced. Over all worth a visit!

It's a beautiful building with an interesting history. Saved after the reformation by the local people who paid for the abbey to become the parish church, only the lady chapel and the abbey buildings were lost. Inside the Norman columns stand tall and give it a grand atmosphere along with the many heads looking down. There is some lovely stained glass from different periods, a gift shop with guide books and other items. Volunteers and staff are happy to chat and share the history of the abbey and the town. Parking is near by and there is a cafe near by

Wonderful experience. Visually stunning with much to see. It was a bonus to hear the organ being played. Top tip - look up! The ceilings are particularly beautiful.

This must be one of the most beautiful Cathedrals that I have visited. You can feel the history as you walk round. There are a number of wonderful chapels throughout. The vaulted ceiling is stunning as well as the stained glass windows. I would recommend going up to the whispering gallery. The views down into the Cathedral really worth it and tovaee the magnificent organ up close.

We really enjoyed visiting Gloucester Cathedral.The construction began in 1089 the Nave was completed in 1130.Over the centuries mor parts were added with different architectures styles. A magnificent building and it's said to be one of the finest ecclesiastical building in the UK.We really enjoyed ambling around the ethereal cloisters(a special treat for Harry Potter fans) and the beautiful stained glass windows

The Cathedral and its grounds are amazing. Entry is free but they recommend a donation and there are two tours that do cost extra. They are the crypt and highlights tour. We went on the crypt tour and our guides Peter and Graham were excellent. There are many hidden gems here and the staff and clergy we met were excellent. A great few hours can be spent here, it is very disabled friendly and there is a suprise for the Harry Potter fans.

Poppy Fields by Luxmuralis - Premium Experience Great experience. A premium ticket allowed us fast track entry (it was raining, so this was much appreciated) & a faster entry to the 1st experience. It also allowed access to an upstairs section which had good views, plus a cheeky glass of sparkling wine. The cathedral looked lovely lite up. Great experience overall & a good reminder of the sacrifices made during war & that peace is better than war.

Absolutely stunning. Voluntary donation to get in £5 or £10 for a family. Harry potter was filmed here it's stunning 😍 well worth a visit. We met up with friends and kids from ages 2 to 13 had an amazing day. So much to see and the architecture is truly breathtaking, there is 12pm prayers, you can light candles and so many interactive things. Wheelchair friendly and also visually impaired friendly (blind and deaf) absolutely brilliant day out.

Visited this amazing cathedral which holds the tomb of Edward II among others. Having visited Westminster abbey this was just as impressive. It was a pleasure to visit, and not to be missed. We did find parking available and entry to the abbey is via donation.

What a magnificent building! I can't emphasis how must have this cathedral is. Search for top 10 facts about it, learn about its history and enjoy visiting. If you are a history lover, you need at least three hours (maybe five for a best visit) to completely appreciate the whole visiting experience. Would highly recommend donating as it costs a lot to maintain this fascinating building.

Beautiful place. Esp in sunshine. Staff are brill - pleasant, polite, efficient, helpful and funny. Could do with a wider range of food, and a jacket potato 🥔 tuna 🐟 priced at £7 felt a little steep. Coffee ok. Happy to see bikers too... although 10 of us at one time might have been too many... :-) We parked in we think a bicycle parking area. It's all gravel, so take care. Toilets clean and pleasant experience. Will be back! Thank you thank you!!

The outer grounds and around the lake is an excellent walk. The side and rear gardens were very nice. There isn't a great deal to see in the house compared to other stately home's but the room attendants were excellent. We went to see the huge walled garden that has been opened for the first time in 270 years yo celebrate the 50th anniversary of opening Bowood to the public. Sadly this wasn't as impressive as we were expecting and was rather run down. For having to diversify and open to the public to help maintain the site, this really could have been opened and brought on to a high standard long ago. Toilets on site are few and far between, best one is by the entrance to the walled garden. There is a good sized play area on the way in for children up to 12.

First visit, far better than I expected. The childrens playground was unreal for a thrill seeking 3 year old and a 40 year old that refuses to grow up! The house, the grounds and the lake are beautiful. Worth walking down to the waterfall and caves. The food was good and staff very friendly and helpful. Only downside was my daughter cried because we had to leave.

A bit underwhelmed actually. The house is not as grand as expected and only one wing is open and all the bedrooms were closed at the time of our visit. The gardens are ok but have not got that much in them. The best bit was the arboretum with some huge specimen Lebanon cedars amongst many others and the small waterfall at the bottom of the grotto. You are not allowed to walk around the lake disappointingly. Only one cafe was in operation at the time of our visit with a fairly limited offering. Not enough benches in the arboretum on which to admire the tree collection.

Lovely walk around the garden and house at Bowood today, nice to walk down to the lake and find the waterfall. Then a walk through the walled garden before walking into the house and admiring the art, furniture and the stunning library. Played golf the previous day which is easily One of the best courses in the area, greens in amazing condition and the fairways showing no signs of the dry spell. An afternoon in the Spa followed by a beautiful meal with red wine, and a cheeky cocktail after, but the thing that makes it all work are the attentive, caring, thoughtful and smiling staff, nothing is too much trouble.

We had a fabulous day for our visit. The cafe was well stocked with a variety of soups, sandwiches & cake. Incl. Gluten free! Our visit was enhanced by a group of people dressed in Georgian costumes, who danced on the lawns. The house is lovely and the guides so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The walled gardens were a riot of fabulous colour and well planted. It was a pleasure. Will go again😁

It's a lovely place with beautiful grounds with grottos, lake and a lovely temple folly which is perfect in its contrast between back and front views. The attendants in the house were so enthusiastic it was infectious. The walled garden is well kept and interesting with fancy flowers and ginormous pumpkins which thrilled one visitor while we were there. The management of the estate leaves a lot to be desired. We walked to the grounds from Calne - the exit road is signed with no public access and we were stopped from walking out by an estate worker in a car "because it isn't public access". But if you're in a car, public access is just fine - pathetic Bowood Estate, pathetic! We were told that it was dangerous to walk down the access roads and were redirected to a (longer) walking route crossing the golf course, which wasn't signposted and had checkpoints and gates which were mercifully unattended otherwise we thought we'd be charged with trespass. This brought us out onto Old Derry Hill, a 40mph road with no pavements and steep banks or walls on either side - it was pretty clear Bowood Estate didn't care about our safety, just their liability. I give it 3 stars just because most people will arrive on four wheels and won't experience the sheer lack of integrity of the Estate that we got to see. I certainly won't be rushing back soon.

Beautiful gardens. Especially in autumn with all the autumnal colours. I would think it is stunning through all of the seasons. Very well maintained with lots of interesting information about trees dotted about. I learnt a few things. There is a 2000 year old lime tree that doesn’t look that old. I found that fascinating. Very good for children. You walk along a lovely wooden bridge amongst the tops of the trees. It’s a bit cheaper to go in the week than at the weekend. You can buy a membership that is well worth it if you intend to go a few times. It was busy so it seems it is very popular there. Lots of parking. You can’t do it all in one visit so we will definitely be going again. They also do concerts there.

Always a great place to visit anytime of year but it is special in the autumn. Walk further away and you soon lose the people. Take time to read about the specimen trees. Lovely quality shop and cafe. Wonderful to visit trees that were living long before you were born and hopefully still there for great grandchildren. Puts life in prospective

We visited in late October—and wow, it was absolutely breathtaking. You honestly can’t imagine how beautiful a forest can be until you see this place. The colors, the atmosphere, everything felt straight out of a painting. Totally worth the trip.

It gets very busy when the weather's good, but the autumn leaves were very beautiful. The bridge was really good too, and there were plenty of vans selling different types of food and drink. It's worth getting a map, and you can pre-book online

Such a beautiful annual tradition my family and friends have of going to see the beautiful colours of autumn at Westonbirt. It never disappoints, and the further you go in, the less busy it becomes! Most of the area is accessible to wheelchair users, which is good!

The trees at the arboretum were amazing but a part from the trees there is no much more to see. I do appreciate that arboretums are for trees mainly but other parks I have visited before offer more interesting features such as sculptures, ponds, pagodas and other types of focal point that make the experience more memorable and unique. The map provided was not easy to read, so finding your way around was challenging .The entrance price was very steep at £21, so no much value for money.

Perfect day out in a beautiful environment. We have 2 dogs and there’s areas to let the dogs off, walk them on the lead as well as areas dogs aren’t allowed. There are literally miles of pathways to walk along. An autumn visit means you get to see all the beautiful colours- there’s a fabulous walkway through the trees that gives stunning views over the parkland - which has a lot of interesting facts for both adults and children. The food deserves a special mention - there’s a separate bbq station as well as the main restaurant with a great choice if you are gluten free or vegetarian.

A stunning historical bridge with great views of the river Avon. We enjoyed a lovely boat trip down the river with a very informative skipper and a lovely,helpful young man who served hot drinks and snacks on board. It's so refreshing to see a young person working hard rather than sitting in front of a screen all day. We even spotted a heron on the trip. On the other side of the bridge, it's rather odd and ugly looking but unusual and worth a look.

Absolutely stunning! We had a wonderful meal at a restaurant along Pulteney Bridge, which was such a charming spot with plenty of great eateries to choose from. The whole city felt so clean, welcoming, and full of character. The Georgian architecture is breathtaking, the streets are steeped in history, and everywhere you turn there’s something beautiful to see. From the iconic Roman Baths to the sweeping views around the city, Bath truly captured my heart. I completely fell in love with this city and can’t wait to come back and explore even more!

Pulteney Bridge is stunning. Designed in the Palladial architectural stye, a 17-18th century take on classical architecture from ancient Greek and Roman traditions, it is one of only four bridges in the world tonhave shops across it's full span on both sides! I did not visit any of these shops so cannot speak on their quality. I can, however, advise a trip to Pulteney or a nearby bridge with a view of Pulteney at either sunrise or sunset. I did this myself, cycling across a parallel bridge before sunrise to capture a unique view of this wonderful bridge. There it stood ready for another day of supporting vehicles and pedestrians alike in making their journeys between Central Bath and the suburb of Bathwick. Infrastructure is crucial to supporting us in living our lives. When it comes in a form as aesthetically pleasing as Pulteney bridge, it is impossible not to love.

Beautiful historic bridge with lovely views of the river and weir. Great spot for photos and a peaceful walk and a must-see in Bath! Beautiful city full of history and charm. Stunning architecture, relaxing Roman Baths, and lovely riverside walks. Bath is always a joy to explore!

A wonderful roman style bridge startling the river below! No cost associated with visiting and looks wonderful on both sides! Personally I suggest visiting the rear side as it's much quieter, are plenty of nice spots to take photos, and feels totally different from the chaos of the front!

Gorgeous bridge with a nearby sluice gate and weir, this Iconic structure was built to extend the City without people realizing they are crossing the river, lined by shops and a cafe with river views it certainly is different but so brilliantly built. Just a three min walk from the Abbey and behind the Impressive Guildhall.

Wonderful piece of history. Recommend taking the boat cruise nearby (£14 for an hour pp) to see the bridge from the river.

This is a must visit in the UK. So peaceful and calm. There is ample space to park your car. You will have to have a look at the photos for you to get a glimpse of what you will experience, if you happen to plan a trip. A small play area designed for toddlers and also a range of farm animals, your toddler will be excited to see these. Some outdoor play facilities have been arranged as well.

Dropping a star because the booking info wasn't clear.. Given two booking times, 10am and 2pm.. it's not explained until after you've booked that it's "any time from 10am..." Plus.. it is a little pricey when you can access other parts of the forest for free.. BUT... It is like stepping into another world. The forest is magical. Even with other people there, it was quiet and beautiful. Lots of places to sit and enjoy nature. Steps are a little slippery so wear good shoes. There's also some farm animals to look at and an indoor and outdoor play area. Gift shop shuts at 5pm though the actual place shuts at 6pm.. something to keep in mind if you're saving your gift purchases until the end.

We spent a wonderful morning in this enchanting, magical forest. We wandered through there for about 3 hours, trying to make sure we didn't miss any of it, and back tracking to see views from different directions. We were lucky to go on a day with some sunshine, the sun light light hitting the mossy trees and lighting them up was just beautiful. Good facilities too, and friendly staff.

Please be aware , wear proper shoes, non slip and waterproof. A lot of mud, slippery, very slippery, and around 300+ stairs up and down, made out of wood and solid rocks. Beautiful views and there is a picnic area as well, enough for 100+people You can buy tickets on the spot. Just £9.90 The walk, depending of how you're moving around, it's about 2 hours, so you can enjoy the views. You can stay as long as you want, there are benches all over the place, made it off wood of course. Enjoy😊

The most stunning place. Very picturesque everywhere you look. But very slippery when it's raining. Make sure of good footwear.

The nature walk was fantastic. Feels like you're in the Ewok village. Be prepared for some mud. I would definitely visit again if I was in the area.

Gorgeous forest! I did feel let down that you have to pay to enter such a beautiful natural spot and of course I would have loved it to be bigger and to have gotten lost for considerably longer than we did. But even at the smaller scale that it is it really is quite stunning.

I enjoyed a wonderful noonday service and a lovely tower tour, which is definitely worth doing. The tower tour allows you to see interesting details inside (clock, bells) and offers a great view out over the town and countryside. Shout out to our guide, whose name I cannot recall, but she had only been on the job for a week and was already a pro. The nave and the chapels are beautiful with an especially interesting ceiling. The volunteers or staff managing the line at the entrance could use a primer on welcome and hospitality. Everyone else was a pleasure.

I had a great Tower tour experience with the Irish and English guides! It was so fun ringing the bells and learning about the normally hidden parts of this historic building. Thank you!

We attended the Bath Abbey Tower Tour and had a wonderful time! Lots of steps, you go right to the top of the Abbey (which is quite high from the ground). Incredible views of the city and such an informative tour with Toby & Jamen. Thanks again!

Loved visiting the Abbey to see the Peace Doves Art Installation. Highly recommend. We were in awe ..... the architecture and stained glass windows are incredible. A warm welcome from the lovely staff and volunteers made our visit perfect.

Lovely few hours around Bath Abbey. Pay for entry (worth it) but got a free 1hr tour which was very informative. Also paid for the tower tour, which again takes an hour. You climb 240 odd steps to bell tower, clock tower and onto the top of roof. Tour done by El and Amy (I think) who were friendly helpful and informative. The climb is a bit of a challenge and a squeeze at times but worth it. I didn't do the discovery centre and museum that are also included in the Abbey entry price.

Taking the tour is a MUST!! So informational and love that each group is small enough where it feels more intimate. Like a private tour. Fun for the entire family. Exploring the beautiful abbey and being able to climb to the very top and on the inside where history is hidden. Listening to the bells rings and the tour guides were so wonderful making it fun for everyone. Highly recommend this experience when visiting Bath. Be sure to wear suitable shoes for climbing steep stairs if you take a tour.

Wel worth the admission fee as a guided tour is included for those who wish to take part. This is highly recommended. Fascinating building and history. Gift shop.

A fantastic experience! Really enjoyed exploring the history of the Roman baths and how interactive the museum is. It really immerses you in another world and the main thermal bath pool is gorgeous to just sit down at for a moment in between learning about the history. A free audio guide is also included in the ticket, which was very welcome. Staff are kind and the gift shop has some lovely items, too. 5/5 would recommend when visiting Bath.

The must visit attraction if you ever find yourself in Bath! I will start with the fact that entry was 36 USD for one person, however, this is one of the few times I will say you are getting a lot for your money and keep in mind the amount of protection / preservation that the money goes to. Your ticket comes with an audio tour (which I skipped because I find them unbearable), there are many signs with explanations on what you're seeing, access to both floors of the main bath house, the interior has plenty of additional museum and underground excavated activities. It really does feel like a mini Pompei in the middle of England. The views are lovely, it wasn't as crowded as I expected in early November too which was a plus for taking my time to enjoy everything!

If you're visiting Bath, you have to go, its the Law! OK, it clearly isn't but you're going aren't you, because if you haven't before you need too. It's great, not expensive and spent 3.5 hours there, which probably says it all really. You won't be disappointed although I didn't think much of the shop but that's a minor detail right?

The spa is amazingly set out. The free audio phones are really good to listen to information. I loved that the visuals were added so that you were looking at rocks but could see how they would have looked in the day. Plus on the wall videos showing life there. Quite a bit of nudity be warned! The Romans weren't shy! A lovely experience. However, it is a little pricey. I wouldn't repeat it as the cost is a little high. I suppose it pays for maintenance.

Very nice, it is always very interesting to go and see sights like these. I was very surprised to see that the water was not very clean. I can only hope that when the Romans were there that it was much better, but it was very interesting to see the intricate bath house with all of the amenities that they had built

A must visit if you are ever in Bath, even despite the high price of admission. It is definitely worth it specially if you use the audio guide. I highly recommend buying a ticket in advance as the lines for buying a ticket on the day are pretty long.

Visited the Roman Baths on my latest day trip to Bath and it’s definitely a must-see! Initially was a bit skeptical of the high ticket price but once I was inside, I actually thought it was really good value because there’s just so much to see and one could easily spend a couple of hours inside! It’s also great that there are so many indoor elements for when the weather is not great. The staff working there were also lovely and really enjoyed all the interactive elements like the holograms. Don’t miss this on your next visit to Bath!

We have visited the festival of light for a few years and this year’s has been our best experience yet! The lights were very well thought out and we thought that the theme was fantastic! The animals on the drive round safari were also more active than usual which was brilliant too.

Brilliant day out! So much to do and see here. Especially if you visit when the lanterns are out. The animals were all well looked after and settled in their enclosures. We went through the safari twice as the animals were just incredible! Would love to visit again soon!

Festival of lights is incredible! We had a lovely day at the drive through safari and a wonderful evening taking in the wonderful lights. This is the 4th time I have been to a festival of lights and this was by far the best one!

Great family day out with the choice to opt out of the safari should you wish. Plenty for children to do to keep them occupied and the Bat Cave is a great experience too.. The Festival of Light is becoming an annual visit for us and we love the different themes each year. This year's Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run went down a storm with the children..🥰

We were at longleat for the festival of lights and enjoyed a full day exploring the park including the jungle cruise and safari bus. There was plenty to see and do one of the favourites was the bat cave and on both trips the staff were very helpful and informative. In the evening we enjoyed an amazing light festival and Christmas stalls.

Wow!!!! What an amazing day. Can't wait to do it again some time. The whole day had the wow factor. The safari was amazing, the light festival exceeded our expectations. We were able to take our own food, we could navigate the day at our own pace. So much to see, good variety of animals to see and up close too. Not too over crowded, loved the big tent for children to do activities in, sit down and relax on bean bags without having to pay additional charges, good value for money and will definitely recommend. A wonderful treat for the family.

Such wow factor. Everything was great. A bit busy and wet onThe Saturday but Friday was lovely and relaxed. We saw soooo many animals up close and the Farmhouse is stunning. We will be back!

Iconic spot to visit in Bath and easy to find. A bit more challenging to photograph as it's so wide! Worth a quick stroll or you can have a picnic on the green if weather permits.

As sightseeing goes, it is on the list if visiting Bath. On a sunny day, it would be great to take a picnic and sit across in the park. Today was not too sunny. Shame about the scaffolding and the modern cars, but you can't have everything.

Lovely setting and beautiful architecture. Wish they still built like this today. The museum is good and the park/gardens are really nice as well

There's not much I can say that others haven't already. A stunning piece of Georgian architecture, and I'm pretty certain the occupants of the 30 terraced houses are sick of people fawning over. Half covered in scaffold or tarpaulin, it makes you wonder it there's a local myth about the world coming to an end if it's ever completely devoid of work being carried out (like the Tower of London has a myth that if the Ravens ever all leave, the Monarchy will fall). We stayed a good distance away, so we could take in the grandeur of the place. However, at the end of the day, it's a row of houses - so you don't want to be too close to appear nosey. Just a quick walk from the town, and worth the walk to see it.

This is amazing royal crescent and with sprawling gardens. The architecture is admirable and pulls you to take snapshots. One of the top attractions of UK

We went on a toot bus ride of the whole city and skyline. We got off and visited the royal crescent. Took some pictures, had a look around and jumped back on the next bus. Lovely area.

Make sure to have a tour guide explain the significance of this place. There's a large, manicured open field in front where people are walking their dogs, running, and enjoying the scenery.

This is my second time at the Tintern Abbey, the Abbey sits on the border between England and Wales but on the Welsh side. I loved it here both times, this time they also had a trail for children to follow and uncover facts. Highly recommend a visit to Tintern Abbey if you are nearby or even passing through to Wales. With rich history, and amazing views, don't miss out.

I’ve driven past Tintern Abbey countless times over the years, always admiring its setting but never quite stopping - maybe because from the outside, it just looked like a quiet ruin with not much going on inside. But I finally made the visit, and I’m so glad I did. The moment I stepped into the church nave, everything shifted. The soaring arches and the magnificent west front with its seven-light window are breathtaking. It’s hard to believe this place was stripped bare after the dissolution in 1536, left to decay for centuries before being rediscovered by artists and poets like Wordsworth and Turner in the 18th century. You can see why they were drawn to it - the ruins are hauntingly beautiful. For just £9, it’s a deeply worthwhile visit. The abbey’s location in the lush Wye Valley adds to the magic, and there’s a convenient pay-and-display car park plus a pub nearby if you want to make a day of it. If you’ve ever passed it thinking “just another ruin,” I’d say don’t wait as long as I did. It’s far more than that.

A very nice side trip. I'm not sure it is worth travelling a long distance for. There are some nice places to see in the small town. Parking is refunded if you enter the abbey. Tickets were £18 for 2 adults.

A beautiful place to visit with some very interesting history and some significant preservation challenges. It was a weekday afternoon with very few people around which made sitting, in what was the original church hall and the surrounding grounds, and incredibly peaceful experience. There was a lot of scaffolding up and areas cordened off as they fight to save the crumbling building but it is still well worth a visit. A local pub make parking and grabbing a drink afterwards easy

What a wonderful abbey. Well worth a visit and a nice short walk through the village and over the bridge. How on earth did they build such structures so long ago! Must be the power of religion 🤔🤔

It is a fantastic place. Very imposing in a peaceful area. I realise renovation works are crucial, but over the building is closed off. Not sure the entrance price reflects that.

Magnificent ruins, quite well interpreted. In a setting that's beautiful even in mid November. The staff are very friendly in the ticket office/shop and also in the tea room. I was glad to congratulate the baker of the cakes in person.

We had a fabulous day out at Stourhead. The views and walks were amazing. The house was also so interesting! Unfortunately I can't rate it a 5 star this time as the lake had blue-green algae (lots of good warning signage though) and the flower beds and gardens were looking very dry and a bit unkempt. We will definitely visit again in Spring!

Lovely walk around a lake. Easy access and nice views. Busier than expected at October half term. Good setting off point for other walks outside the grounds of Stourhead house. Large car park, pub (check opening times), farm shop.

One of the most beautiful places ive visited recently, the architecture and the scenery is just amazing, absolutely perfect for a family to visit or walk the dog . Stourhead estate on the Wiltshire-Somerset border is the perfect day out for everyone. A breathtaking 18th century landscape garden with lakeside walks, grottoes and classical temples is only the beginning. You can also visit Stourhead House, a Palladian mansion with a fantastic regency library and beautiful art collection. Then why not climb the 205 steps to the top of King Alfred's Tower, an amazing red-brick folly, for vistas over Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, or explore one of our Iron Age hill forts.

We went on a weekend in October and there were queues to get in, but once on the grounds it didn't feel too busy at all. The autumnal colours made made the scenery all that more stunning. If you don't want to grab a sit down meal before or after your walk, I'd recommend packing a picnic

Excellent place for a day out, lots of things to see! Definitely one of my favourite National Trust places so far, highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a lovely day at stourhead visiting with my parents. The National trust House and gardens was really well set up. Probably the best National trust House and gardens for children to visit - obviously have to be careful of them around the lakes but lots of interesting things for them to do and see including in the house. The house itself you could only see downstairs which was slightly disappointing but the bits that you could see were really impressive - that included interesting architecture plus an extensive set of paintings, the furniture and the library outstanding from my perspective. The volunteers were really enthusiastic and explained about the different rooms and previous owners of the building. The house gardens and lakes are of course also very photogenic. The walk around the lakes takes about an hour we stopped on occasion because it was very hot to look inside the different grottos and buildings around the lake. Most of the refreshments and facilities are up near the house so it's worth getting ready for the walk. There are some steep cobbled sections which can be slippery in wet weather. We found a photographic exhibition was very interesting actually displayed in the gardens of the house.

Second time visiting, but in the rain which was different altogether, in a good way. Lots of features to look at when walking the vast grounds and the house is interesting, full of beautiful books and furniture as well as paintings with hidden features. Definitely worth a visit.

This place is really cool if you're a history nerd 🤓 It isn't massive so you can go round it all I'm about an hour if you're reading everything, theres cool props etc you can take photos with. You get a cool comic style booklet with your ticket, it's a nice keep sake.

One of 3 fascinating Roman museums/archaeological sites in Caerleon. The museum is very atmospheric and incredibly informative with the ability to touch and handle some recreations of typical Roman tools/devices used at the baths. A must visit if you are into history

Participated in a free tour during the 'open Wales' event running throughout September, the tour guide that gave insights to the Roman establishment across the area was very knowledgeable and spoke with such enthusiasm that he provided a great sense of what life would have been like in the area throughout the period of Roman occupation and the significance. Beautiful area and a thoroughly enjoyable day out, would highly recommend a visit. There is a small fee to enter the bath house however most of the site can be visited for free.

The Caerleon Roman Baths was one of the weaker CADW sites we have visited. It was interesting enough, but the information on the baths was weak and not presented well. They have a video playing over the bath to show water effects and people swimming (see my videos posted with the review). Looks okay, but could have been so much better with better effects, scaled more human like people, they were about 9 feet tall and had odd body shapes, etc. The wall board says men and women never bathed together and then you turn around and the image of 2 people swimming in the bath is a man and woman. Again, the info wasn’t presented well. Also the staff weren’t great. They were friendly enough but didn’t seem to know much about it and didn’t seem to want to actually talk to anyone. There was an interesting cavern under the pools that was the old drain from the pools. There is water in it today, probably ground water seeping through. The main water for the baths came from 5 miles away, amazing the work they put into the baths. The other thing that is super neat but not explained well is the heating for the hot room. It had a raised floor and they somehow used the hot air and smoke from a fire to funnel through under the floor and heat the room. Pretty amazing those Romans!

The sites are impressively well preserved and clean. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Fascinating to learn how sophisticated the roman legions were in their engineering abilities. Thought the pawprint and sandal imprint were special and added a sense of human connection to the past. The projected visuals were a creative touch, though the modern swimsuit imagery slightly detracted from historical atmosphere. Overall, a brilliant experience!

An excellent experience made even more special by the friendly staff. This attraction is well laid out and quite reasonable for admission. There are lots of kids activities and history to be experienced. If you are in this town take the time to visit. The staff will also direct you to the other Roman ruins and history in the city as well.

Pay to go in. Nice little walk around the old bath house, you can see a small portion of what was a huge site. Little clip boards given to the kids to entertain them. Interesting to visit. Doesn't take long to get around. Probably plan for 30 mins in there. No toilet inside. Pub right next door though.

A gêm of a museum and despite it's size has a fascinating collection of Roman artifacts. Has very interesting, Roman garden and dress up for children. Have been here twice and will definitely return. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly also

Loved my visit to this Museum, it doesn't look much from the outside, but it's actually awesome and there's so much to see and do inside. As well as the awesome collection of artefacts, the actual story boards and timelines of the Roman occupation are really captivating, it's not often I read every sign, but in here I did. They have lots of cool props you can get photos with & the Roman gardens out the back are very cool 😎 It is free to enter, but you can make donations if you wish. You can combine a visit here with a trip to the Roman baths, barracks and Amphitheatre, they're all close together.

Excellent free museum telling the story of Romans in and around Caerleon. Helpful staff giving information about the nearby sites - Roman Baths (CADW), the fort wall, barracks and wonderful amphitheatre ❤️

Free museum with lots of info and amazing real life artifacts. I loved the various Roman soldier suits of armour and dress. We add weapons, coins, gems, etc. Lots of stuff to entertain the kids too. It’s a must see.

A great little museum. Loads of interesting exhibits with friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

We took advantage of nearby free on street parking for our campervan. If none available there is a coach park with additional large spaces in town. There are dropped kerbs and dimpled paving at road crossing points. There was a pedestrian crossing available. There are 3 steps up to the museum but there is a ramp to the side. Inside there is good access all around. The reception desk is immediately opposite but just step to the right and beyond the donations box the museum reveals itself. There are many interesting and unique displays of Roman artifacts. Roman legionnaries stand imposingly inside and schoolchildren may be able to meet a Roman Legionary actor (by arrangement). Of particular interest was some of the bronze pans and glassware. Many of the pieces were both delicate and intricate. There is a small shop aimed at childrens purchases. There is also a fine looking Roman garden.

The tour guides were amazing. Really informative and knowledgeable. It was interesting to see all the Roman articles. You must see the Roman coffin with the remains of a Roman soldier skeleton still inside. It's a really fantastic museum , just the right size with beautiful pieces of historical armour, jewellery, pottery, and mosaic work to enjoy. You can include a visit to the Roman Baths and amphitheatre, which is nearby. Great day out, hugely enjoyable.

What an amazing place, thought it would just be planes on display, which it is, but there's way more to it than that ! There are four halls, the first is mainly Wessex helicopters and these are big !!! There's bullet holes in one from the Falklands conflict, you walk through to Hall 2 with some amazing aircraft including a Sea Vixen, Gruman and you can sit in a Vampire cockpit which we should all do, you are never to old to do that ! These planes are huge, theres also a viewing area of the airfield where you may see planes and helicopters. Walking through to Hall 3, via a helicopter where the floor vibrates and the sound fills the compartment, you exit onto an aircraft carrier... its just ...wow ! The Phantom looks ready to go, the Harrier is locked, loaded and you can see the command bridge. There's a lift which had a video display about life below deck, and so many models of carriers and the supporting vessels. You the walk through the decking of a 70's carrier which is simply brilliant. There's see through video screens which activate as you approach and you get people telling you about their roles, its so good. Finally ..Hall 4 has Concorde, what's not to love about Concorde 002, you can walk through her, theres a Fairy Delta 2.. which was at one stage the fastest aircraft on earth. Its simply a brilliant day out... there's also a lovely cafe ... so get yourself there, no matter how young or old you are !

We visited the Fleet Air Arm Museum earlier in the day, which was a smart move as it was nice and quiet. The staff at the entrance were friendly, welcoming, and gave us great advice on the best route to take. The museum itself is brilliantly laid out, with each hall flowing naturally into the next. You really get the chance to move around the aircraft and see them up close—it feels immersive rather than just a display. The collection is fantastic, giving you a real sense of the Fleet Air Arm’s history. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to make navigation in the aircraft carrier hangar a little clearer—it’s an impressive, well-designed exhibit, but we found ourselves slightly turned around at first. That said, it didn’t affect our enjoyment one bit. Overall, this is a superb museum: fascinating, hands-on, and excellent value for money. I’d absolutely recommend a visit—100%!

Great place to visit. Worth the price. Definitely buy the tickets online as they’re cheaper. There’s lots to walk round. You can walk into helicopters and planes. Staff are super friendly

An incredible collection in an absorbing and appropriate setting. Easy to gt to by road with plenty of parking once you get there. Beware the A303 can be a bit manic in high Summer traffic. Leave a whole day for t=your visit as there is plenty to read and just look at whether adult of children. You don't need a Naval background to get the best out of your visit, but listening to veterans chatting about their experiences certainly adds atmosphere. A good selection of things to buy as mementos and space to enjoy your own picnic to the sound of the nearby airfield HMS Heron, RNAS Yeovilton if you prefer. A visit to the on site cafe lets you chat and decide what to look at again.

We 'popped' in to break a journey back home from holiday. Thinking it would only be an hour or so...three hours later and we had to go to continue our journey. To give justice to the place you need a good 4-5 hours. It's absolutely amazing and I think it's all indoors as well because we didn't get to see it all. Even with our shorter visit it was well worth the entrance fee.

Loved it . Plenty to see and very well displayed.All very interesting and the chance to walk inside concord was great.All.areas were accessable to my knowledge.. See if you can ..Find the photo booth 😉 good fun .( There is a charge but only if you print off) The Food and drinks area was clean and prices were average for this type of place ( Nice pot of tea👍). Plenty of helpful & knowledgeable staff .

Based at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset, just a short drive from Yeovil, the Fleet Air Arm Museum is a must-visit for aviation enthusiasts and families . Housing Europe’s largest collection of naval aircraft, including Concorde 002, Harriers, and helicopters, the four halls chronicle the Royal Navy’s aerial history from biplanes to modern jets. Knowledgeable and friendly staff as well.

Very beautiful property. Well worth a visit. Set in a picture perfect village. Recommend the estate walk up the hill to the tower for the views.

Fabulous Elizabethan House. The grounds are beautiful. There is a timed entry to the house. Also, there is some limited access whilst a staircase is being renovated. Easy parking. Great place for a picnic.

A National Trust star. A fabulous garden with lots of different styles on display in a tiny area. An imposing house with lots of rooms to explore and a long history to understand. There’s a nice cafe and you can go for a stroke around the estate if the mood takes you.

Fantastic location. Beautiful garden. 1st floor visit only. Eldest tapestry known by National Trust. Furnuture partly not original but that's part of the history of this estate.

This is a beautiful place with three different walks around lovely grounds. The guides that tell the history of the house are very knowledgeable, polite and friendly. The upstairs area was unfortunately closed awaiting renovation but the grounds were lovely. There is a good café and I can say that the pulled pork sandwich and potato wedges were very nice and reasonably priced. I will definitely return.

Superb house & gardens. Very sad that only the ground floor available whilst extensive repairs made on the other 2 floors. Very good cafe with plenty of open air space. Dogs welcome in the grounds & cafe. Super little shop but like ALL of the NT shops & similar, all their prices are far too expensive but of course, you are part if their captive audience. Finally, the staff could not be more pleasant & helpfully esoecially that lovely lady sitting on the shadows, quietly in the study. This is a well worth visit.

A really nice place to visit, I would say that you wouldn't spend all day here as you can complete the look around in 2 to three hours. There is a play area for the little kids to keep them happy for an hour. The house is ground floor only due to problems on the second and third floors ... The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable...you also have a cafe which sells hot and cold meals as well as drinks. All in all well worth the 3 hours we spent there. One last thing the ladies walk does include a few hills and the path does contain a few trip hazards so be careful

Lovely little harbour surrounded by fish n chips and icecream huts etc..West bay beach is stunning. Great for families but as a solo hiker, I prefer somewhere a little less busy.

This is a great place to sit, chill and unwind. Views are spectacular and stunning 😍 Plenty of amenities close by, with pubs, restaurants, tea, coffee, just great!!! Great food available right near to where you could sit a d chill! Very romantic setting as the sun goes down! It's a "must visit place!"

Lovely walks and my places to stop for drinks and food

Nice little harbour with plenty of benches to sit down and have your picnic or food from one of the food huts we had small cod and chips and a tea really nice.

Nice harbour at West Bay with south west coastal walks on both sides. Good place to stop for food, coffee, ice cream, toilets, etc.

Stopped here on a coach day trip on the way to Swanage. It's a lovely town with a lovely market and lots of nooks and crannies down by the Custom House. Well worth a visit.

Bridport is a thriving community with always lots going on

Beautiful spot, a really lovely garden to walk around. Would definitely go back. 5 stars for the garden, 3.5 for the food. We went to the cafe, only a few vegan options, I have a very nice pea soup, the bread though was very dry. Husband had beetroot falafel salad and he was sure they were cauldron (brand) ones, not freshly made. Overall though, nice spot for lunch, good service and fairly priced

Our visit to the Hestercombe House and Gardens was a good morning visit just off M5. Currently being renovated it still offers an insight into the past of the house and previous uses, ground floor and couple rooms upstairs available, outside a good garden and walk through woods. Grounds a little parched after heatwave ( End of August) and need of TLC. Good restaurant on site with nice meals.

A stunning garden with accessible routes for most abilities. Enjoyed a beautiful sunny autumn walk, rounded off with lunch in the cafe. I look forward to seeing how the Hestercombe team redevelop the house if the quality of the gardens are the gauge!

Hestercombe House and Gardens is a beautiful place to visit. The gardens are stunning, with small houses, lakes, and hidden paths through the woods. It was lovely to wander with friends before heading to the café for delicious food. The staff were very friendly, and I would highly recommend visiting.

Called in on our way home from Cornwall as it breaks the journey up. Only 10 minutes from junction 25 of the M5 and fairly straightforward to get here. We arrived around 11am and it was quite busy but still able to get a space.. Headed to cafe and had a nice pot of tea and cheese scone..(scone nice and warm but butter was too hard to spread,needed to soften first).scummy though. We then visited the house and we're greeted by some friendly ladies who gave us some information sheets to read on the brief history of the house. Most of the rooms are empty from furniture but their are display cabinets with items to view and loads of pictures and history facts to read. We walked the gardens at the front of house and then headed round past the orangery and walked all the way to the top of vast rear gardens and back down the other side which is higher up and you can look down from above the water cascade ,which unfortunately this time had no water running down for full impact..quite rough and steep in places but not too bad .

Perfect place to go with a little one and dog when you aren't sure what to do and are in the area. Great for a little picnic and perfect views. Even on the cloudiest day its still beautiful.

We enjoyed our day out at Hestercombe and our dog felt welcome too. The cafe served a good variety of food that well priced. My partner had the falafel salad and I had the first finger open sandwich that were well presented and tasty. We went back after seeing the beautiful gardens for hot drinks and tasty cake. You can go to the cafe without going into the gardens if you wish

It's hard to find anything that's free these days, and it's really hard to find something free that is this good! It was suggested to us by a local when we found ourselves in the area on a wet day. It's a genuinely well thought-out, structured and filled museum with a great balance of information, story, activity and exhibits. Excellent place to spend a few hours, and please be sure to donate a few quid each as you leave.

A good museum in the castle. Plenty of exhibits. Well designed galleries and a friendly face on arrival. Nice cafe with tables in & out. One of the best attractions in Taunton, and: it's free! ( Donations welcomed )

We went in with low expectations of this museum after we'd be told by someone it was just a hotel. The layout of the museum is very well thought about and we'll put together. With an almost minimalist style throughout style wise it gives you a chance to fully embrace the stocked displays. The staff were really friendly, there was no push for sales or donations (obviously we did a donation anyway). There was a kids walkthrough which kept them full emersed throughout which cost £1. It took about an hour and 20 minutes I think to get around, looking at everything but stopping to read about the things that we found particularly interesting. I'm sure you could spend more time if you truly wanted to but this was good for us. I would say if you are visiting Taunton for the day, it's definitely worth a walk around. Particular highlights for me were the revolution section as I was completely unaware of this and the heart box and the very large shoes.

A wonderful museum with its own history. Nice staff. Entrance is free, but you can donate from £5. You can also drink coffee and have a snack on the museum grounds.

We went into the museum simply to get out of the rain and ended up staying about three hours. The displays were extremely interesting and very professional and informative in presentation. Entrance price was by donation. I would highly recommend this hidden gem if you are in the Taunton area.

Very interesting and informative of the Somerset area with lots of interesting fossils and artifacts. Well worth a visit and they do not charge for entry although do suggest donation which we were more than happy to pay.

Found myself in Taunton with a few hours to spare, so thought I would visit. Really glad I did. A fantastic museum rich in content, and full of surprises. Staff were friendly and helpful and the cafe offered good food at reasonable prices. Even if you have lived in Somerset all your life you will discover something new.

This attraction is so fun for everyone no matter your age. We visited with my Husband and had so much fun riding the tramways. The ride is around the countryside and the natural reserve with birds all around that are flying just above your head if you’re seated upstairs. It’s so beautiful! There’s few stops if you want to explore and coming back later. But there’s one where everyone has to come out in a small village. There’s a cafe, toilets and a souvenir shop. You can take the same tramway right away for the return or wait a bit to try another one. We tried a different tramway for the way back and decided to sit upstairs. It’s way more fun in our opinion but it’s nice to experience both. If you love old vehicles like ourselves you need to do it!

I don't give 5 stars often. Realy Nice . We started at the other end first as parking was realy good. (Furthest from Seaton ) im rubbish at remembering names. Getting there .... Trouble was we went the country road way to it . Hahahha blimey 🤣 . I think my sat nav was against me and used the narrowest roads out. City boys to Country Side folk . We do 60 on dual carriageway and can see infront they do that with hedges hitting each wing mirror blindfolded hahahha. We went in the wrong end so missed the sign posts. But thats part of the adventure isn't it. You must try Seaton Tramway. The staff are volunteers and passionate . We took our best mate and she was so welcome and of course had to sit downstairs 😀. There's an area on route where dogs are not allowed but you can understand why. We had a unlimited ticked but just used it to the end and back but best buy. Now we wished we stopped off some stops. Do it relax with the train track sound and enjoy the view. Our best mate was not sure what was happening on way but enjoyed the wind , but on the journey on the way back she was snoring 😴 😀 loved it

Lovely way to ride into Seaton. Caught the tram from the Clayton station and went passed some lovely sites. Wetlands looked an interesting stop but thought we'd carry straight onto Seaton and ran out of time to stop on the way back. Staff and facilities are brilliant. Highly recommended way to travel unto Seaton if you're visiting for a day.

Love it, we do a trip every autumn and enjoy the experience ever time, plus the dog can come to as she is welll behaved. A walk down to the end of the beach path and a great cafe awaits you with home made soup and delicious cakes.

Ride one of 14 trams in the fleet for three miles in one direction and back. A rover ticket allows you all day hoping on and off at any station. Dogs can ride but cant visit the nature reserve. Mind your head when on the trams as they are smaller than you think, but interesting.

Seaton Tramway is built on the old British Rail track bed and uses half size trams. Its good for families, bird watchers and just for a ride. Plenty of events throughout the year. Make sure you have time to visit tge Wetlands centre, Colyford and Colyton.

This is a great tram trip. Seaton to Colyton £16 for a day return journey, travel as much as you like and get on and off en route to visit bird hides in the nature reserve or have a great meal at Colyton Tram Cafe. The trams are beautiful pieces of history, whole enterprise is well managed and maintained. We loved the commentary. A great day despite the rain!

Great place. Definitely recommend coming here. Free entry and you can donate to help out. Donkeys were lovely and funny when one started issues with another donkey for smelling poo. They do sound like they have sore throats from all the noises they make 😂. Beautiful place tho and good clean toilets

I just had to meet Walter! The donkey whom my husband had gifted an adoption from The Donkey Sanctuary. I was expecting an old fashioned set up but I was totally wrong. The entrance is modern, well kept and clean. It is all well organised and the lovely people who work and volunteer, are well informed and willing to answer questions. We sat through a lovely informative talk where we watched the donkeys like a heard of cattle go back into the main barn that had fresh hay. They are such gentle animals, well worth the visit. It caters for all ages and with plenty of car parking spaces too. Definitely would recommend

Lovely place to visit anytime of year, free entry but please get some lunch or a gift from the shop as such a great cause. Maze and play area are great for the children, cakes were very yummy and you get a large slice! Gifts for everyone and the Donkeys are just wonderful!

Wonderful example of conservancy & protection of these gentle creatures. See many donkeys living in grassy fields and close up in their pens. Great layout of viewing walks all signposted with donkey info. Children will love it. Tea rooms and lunches also served.

What a gem this is. A peaceful, tranquil site with c.200 donkeys roaming the many paddocks. Good restaurant, gift shop, educational area and things for kids including a surprisingly tricky maze. Highly recommended way to spend an afternoon, with your dogs if you like also. Just remember to donate as the place is free entry.

Amazing place to visit. Facilities are great for visitors and Donkeys! The staff are excellent. The talk at shelter 1 when we went was very interesting and also entertaining when one naughty Donkey nibbled and undid the shoelace of the handler doing the talk. I never knew Donkeys cannot take much weight at all despite everything you see on screen and TV! Its well worth a visit. Entry is free! But please donate to such a good cause. We were visiting our adopted Donkey, Ashley on the day but the walks around the massive grounds are great to do and the cafe is well worth a stop off after too!

We went bank holiday Monday. It was busy, but didn’t feel overwhelming. We’re a family of 5 and our dog came too. Lovely to have a day out and include our dog. It was lovely to wonder around and see the donkeys. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had lunch at the restaurant. Food was a reasonable price and the wait wasn’t too long. It’s lovely that the food says where it has come from and was fresh and tasty. The burgers were massive. We popped in the shop and got a toy for our dog, which she loves very much. Was happy to spend money there as it helped support the donkeys. A lovely place to visit even if you don’t spend any money. Great to learn about what they are doing to help donkeys.

We took our three Grandsons, for Halloween experience . The weather was a bit chilly, so we did outdoor rides first. The twister, which was the main ride, they all wanted to go on, was closed. During the day, we thought it may reopen, but no. Very disappointed. Also the pirate ship and the other, similar ride, was also closed. It was not raining, as we thought, that may be why they weren't going. Later in the day, they did open, and we were able to go on. They all enjoyed the indoor play area. It was so busy, it took half an hour to get a seat. Could, definitely do with more seating. All in all, we all had a lovely day. Haunted house was fun. A free pumpkin on the way out, was a nice treat too. Would definitely recommend, for all ages.

The park has a wide range of activities and rides offering a lovely day out with our granddaughter. Helpful friendly staff and the Halloween Trick or Treat Trail added to the fun. There are plenty of covered areas if the weather takes a wet turn and a number of cafe/restaurants for a break. Food is on the expensive side but there's a reasonable selection and you can always take a picnic. I'm sure we'll be back with the grandchildren as there's plenty to do in a lovely safe and fun environment, that's easy to get to from the M5.

Arrived yesterday with my daughter and her two friends. We queued up on the log flume for around 45mins to then be rejected as they all needed an adult to ride on with them. Only three could ride this ride meaning I had to leave one child out. We have always been to crealy with no problem to fit four on the ride. The weather was great just a little tad cold. I raised this issue with a member of the team and told me nothing could be done about this. As of Halloween I paid high prices to enter the park and buy food which I feel this was not acceptable. The food needs improving for the amount of money you spend too. Apart from this we had a great day, but I think the money we spend was not worth the experience on this occasion.

I went with a few friends for their "late nights" on Halloween and yes we did rlly enjoy ourselves but because we couldn't get there any early then 5 we were only able to enjoy the park till 7 when they close. To me this doesn't feel like it should be classed as a late night, it's really lovely being at the park when it's dark it would've been nice just to have been there a bit longer

We did the Crealy Halloween event, it was clearly very busy. We arrived just before 10am and people were already in the park on rides so we knew we were in for some big queues. What we were unaware of were the extent of these massive queues. Over an hour for maximus, 40 mins for one scare maze, a hour for the scarecrow scare maze. Twister was on and off most of the day with at least a hour of queues. I have never seen it so busy and we usually come during the summer holidays. The scarecrow maze was a great idea but the amount of people going through at once really ruined the experience for us as the family infront got all the jump scares and we could see it all coming. Very underwhelmed with the younger children’s maze with 2 moving witches and some glow in the dark paint. The real issue came leaving the car park, over an hour we didn’t even move an inch it was pure chaos and staff were not interested at all in helping. Lots of the smaller rides indoors weren’t working, the floors in sooty land were sticky and not clean at all. We couldn’t put our one year old down as there was food that hadn’t been cleaned up. The larger soft play was also chaos, there were so many children in there it became quite unsafe - do you even have a limit on numbers in there ? Even the small soft play in the bit next door was so busy it didn’t feel safe. I wouldn’t ever attend another Halloween event there were 17 of us and we all left really disappointed.

We had a great time at Crealy over the summer holidays. All the staff were helpful and friendly. They were full of enthusiasm at the entrance especially Georgia in the ticket office, she was so warm and welcoming to the kids, nothing was too much trouble for her, she seemed genuinely happy to assist us even though the day that we went was a very busy day she didn’t let that phase her, she didn’t try and rush us through and didn’t come across stressed. All the staff were great on this particular day. We saw Georgia again on the way out and she even had time to stop us to make sure we had had a great day which I thought was very sweet. The theme park has rides to suit everyone, which is great when you have kids of different ages. We had a fab time.

Kids had fun, we thought there was more for young children and less for older. Queues could be better, the only two rollercoasters and the log flume took ages with two bored children. It wouldn't hurt to have something to keep kids busy in an hour's queue! Everyone else mentions the staff - while some were great and engaged, others really were not. Overall it was very expensive - especially for the time you then spend in a queue - but kids had fun.

Unlike most cathedrals, this was wonderfully peaceful and free of crowds, when I went. Lovely staff. The 'Treasures tour' is well worth the £5 - includes the 'Exeter book', which is oldest manuscript of Old English literature/poems/riddles.

Who love the architecture must visited and the interior is filled with fascinating details. My visit to Exeter Cathedral was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped through the grand west front, I was completely captivated by the sheer scale and beauty of this historical building. The most striking feature is undoubtedly the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England, which feels like a vast stone wave frozen in time above you.

A wonderful and interestingly colourful example of an English Cathedral. The painted bosses in the ceiling and carvings on the end of the Choirs seating are excellent examples. Look out for the patron saint of Dentists and her story and the historical Cathedral Cat.

Nice clean area. Very pretty. Lots of space to sit and eat on grass. If raining there is a wall tk sit on as well

One of the ancient cathedrals, however the architecture is unbelievable and must be seen in a tourist spot in Exeter. Anytime welcome, and there is a £ 5 ticket price for adult visitors. When you compare the architecture ticket, the price is nothing. It was built between ADs 50 and 75.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in the UK. Enormously huge and historic. Atmosphere is incredible.

Absolutely love it here, a glorious space. So disappointed that the statues have gone from the café, they framed the amazing ceiling so beautifully. Admit I haven't been back since x

Was a beautiful experience, The owner lit a nice candle for me and my girlfriend. Food was amazing with stunning presentation. I feel it’s unfair to judge the atmosphere as it was a monday night and nobody was there but beautiful nevertheless. Will definitely be back.

It took over 1hour for a good to arrive, table that arrived after us where served before us - there was 3 of us, and a table of 3 that arrived 20minutes after us where served before us. We order regular breakfast and I have taken a photo of the food that took over an hour to make - for that length of time maybe my expectations of the food were to High - the waitress apologised after we had been sat there an hour, and said food wouldn’t be long and that when other tables food came out. We all make mistakes, but just a rushed apology didn’t feel like amazing customer service!

Managed to make a late booking for 20, on a bank holiday. Fantastic experience food and service was amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing food, perfect location near the river and very friendly staff ! Huge amount of ice cream flavours to choose from ! Luscious !

found this little gem of a restaurant after trying to negotiate the very busy restaurants on the other side of the river. Great food, all freshly prepared so worth waiting for, owner very friendly and the best mojito served with a smile. highly recommended

Came with two LD clients. Welcomed by owners (father and daughter); food was great! Homemade, real "Taste Of Italy". Tiramisu definitely the best in Exeter, if not Devon. Come and try it and prove me wrong! I come regularly and recommend anyone with LD clients or anyone to come and enjoy your time eating, drinking and socialising here 🥰😊.

Brilliant night out. Food was amazing and the live music was a nice touch 👌
