We've been twice now over 2 years, we were a bit disappointed to see drenched is still not open. Bounce wasn't open either. But we enjoyed the rest of the rides, my son loves megaphobia and speed. The food didn't look that nice but did taste good. It was a bit expensive for the food. They do need some new rides though. There wasn't many in the park which was weird as it was the school holidays, we went on the rides many times, megaphobia at the end of the day we just kept riding without the need to get off, it was great.

Really very nice theme park with some great rides for extreme sensation. Not much waiting time. Parking is good. Main restaurant is nice with quick service.

I went to this park today with my family, it was a chill day and I found it so peaceful and pleasuring! The rides and attractions hit the spot perfectly! But my downside was the chicken burger which charged £11 per person for a burger meal. The chicken was wooded but unevenly fried, I replaced it for a cheeseburger which was slightly better but the burger bar could do much better than what I experienced. Without being said, I had a fantastic time at the park! Id definitely come here again but during a sunny day!

Very good day for younger kids, it was a shame Drench was still not working as its a great ride but Speed and Megafobia are a big pull. Poor points would be a lack of maps, toilets and water filling stations (especially these days to save on plastic). Over priced food and a lack of food outlets as alot were closed. Well maintained park set in beautiful countryside.

What a beautiful park blended in with nature, perfect for familles with young children. We had a 9, 7 and 3 year old with us and they all had a great time. Us adults also had fun on the roller-coasters and the slides. We went on a rainy day and still managed to stay all day as there was no more than 10 minute queue per ride.

A fantastic day out. Park was extremely quite which is a shame but all staff were very friendly and helpful. Only drenched was closed until 2pm when it did then open. We took our own food so can't comment on quality of food however prices did seem a bit high for what was on offer. The park has had some basic work done to it since my last visit a few years ago. Although more is needed to improve the overall appearance of the park. With a new area and roller coaster due to open later this year hopefully there will be a increase in guest numbers. Overall a great visit with lots of rides due to no queues. The annual pass is a fair price for what's on offer and after 4-5 visits the cost of the pass has been covered. With the new A road built nearby getting to the park is much easier.

Free parking, there are some great rides, and fun for all the family. Queue times were not too bad, for the summer holidays, but I felt a mobile app would have made the day more enjoyable, so we could see queue times and find our way round easier. I also felt the park could be safer, had real concerns walking round. I do recommend a visit, and secure loose articles on megaphobia, as its really rough, and prepare to get drenched on drench.

We fully enjoyed our visit to the National Botanic Garden of Wales. There was a good selection of gardens and greenhouses, and lots to take in and enjoy. The one thing that they could benefit from is more signage or information about their different gardens. Compared to other botanic gardens we have visited, this one was a little less informative. Our ticket we purchased was good for 7 days, and we did decide to come back in order to access the Birds of Prey center. Note, as of the time of our visit in July, the gardens no longer give a portion of the entry fee to the birds of prey center, so entry there is by donation, and it’s 3.50 per person for the bird show (well worth it). So while they are only accessible from in the garden, they are operating independently. However our visit there was a highlight for us.

Beautiful place to visit any time of the year, now been several times. About 5-10 minutes to get in depending on the time of year. Massive area to walk around and different walks for all capabilities. Disability scooter to hire and staff driven carts on offer. Tickets in advance i don't feel is necessary.

My husband and I visited the National Botanic Garden of Wales during the height of a storm, and surprisingly, it made the experience even more special! Despite the wild weather, we had such a fun and memorable day. The gardens looked dramatic and beautiful in the rain, and watching the water features come to life with the storm was incredible — the waterfalls and streams were really impressive. The Great Glasshouse was the perfect place to shelter for a while; warm, bright, and full of amazing plants from all over the world. Even though the weather was rough, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and there was still plenty to enjoy. We grabbed a coffee from the café and just watched the rain sweep across the landscape — it was oddly peaceful and very romantic. All in all, it turned out to be a wonderful and unforgettable day out. The gardens are beautiful in any weather, and we’d definitely recommend them for couples looking for something relaxing, different, and inspiring.

Beautiful gardens, well laid out, plenty of places to sit, relax, take in the flowers. The dome is really well laid out, very warm, but that is what it's there for to keep non native plants and trees in. Need more than one day there, tickets valid for seven days is an added bonus went back next day as was unable to see everything we wanted to. Would go again probably a different time of year.

Hidden gem in the area. I was surprised the place was not busier with how many well maintained the gardens are. The entry ticket is valid for a week, so we could return while in the area. There are great walks in the garden and around the lake. So many different flowers and varied wildlife to photograph.

The National botanic garden of Wales, is definitely worth a visit although for a one off visit slightly expensive. If you live nearby a yearly ticket would be highly advisable and I think you would get a lot of use out of it. The gardens both internal and external are superb , there is a nice cafe though a bit on the small side which can cause delays. There are lots of nice walks , though it is on different levels so getting the golf cart from reception to transport you may be advisable. There is a bird of prey centre who displays on site (for a small extra cost) and that is well worth a visit .

This has to be one of my favourite places to visit in Wales because it's utterly beautiful. Not just the flowers and plants that you see, but the views that reach far and wide across the rolling Welsh hills. It's tranquility at it's best - and now that they have dog friendly days (Mon & Fri) it's even better 🐶🐶. There is a cafe selling a range of food and drinks and a little gift shop (with reasonable prices) There is disabled parking and the main paths are disability friendly and mostly flat, there are toilets located near the cafe and quite a few benches dotted around if you want to take a seat and rest your legs or just take in the beautiful scenery! You can pay extra to get into the birds of prey center and watch the shows - the birds are magnificent so definitely one to do. If you prefer a longer amble in nature, head towards the waterfalls which are a pretty amazing sight to see. Adult Admission is roughly £16, you can buy membership for £60 which lasts for a year.

My absolute favourite place. Summer or winter it never fails due the beautiful views. Loved seeing the sunflowers but I wouldn't pay especially if you have a large family.

I just love this heavenly place, winter or summer who says you need season's to come and enjoy the beautiful view or a great walk. For parking their is plenty of space and you pay by coins , I paid £4 for 4hours which was worth it. Was lucky this time round saw the beautiful wild ponies,an eye-catcher.june will be the sunflower season don't be missing that.A must go place.plenty to eat and drink at the local pub kids adults all will enjoy.

The prettiest walk down from the national trust car park, some areas are steep, but the steps help. The beach itself is very clean, beautiful, and dog friendly. You can see works head from the beach. The walk back up will get you panting but so worth it.

Beautiful beach, tons of shells washed up on the shore, just beautiful. Nice long stretch of beach you can walk along. It is very flat but the walk down to the beach is a steep incline. There is a bench half way to rest on half way. You can see worms head from the beach which you can access from the top of the bay and walk over the top of the cliff. There is a car park at the top which you can park in with decent prices, £3 I believe but national trust members have it free. Great day out!

Absolutely stunning beach! It's a bit of a steep walk down to the beach and back up but definitely worth it if you can. Gorgeous views from the coastal path at the top too. The beach is so big it didn't seem busy. Plenty of parking when we went too in the National Trust car park. Drive to it was a lot of single track roads, not fun but again worth it!

Absolutely stunning place - one of my favourite spots in Wales. Beautiful, massive beach, clean sea, lots of parking spaces (£6 per day). The only downside is to get there as the roads are extremely narrow at time and 2 cars won't be able to fit in next to one another, other than that it's just perfect for a sunny day out 😊 Also I would mention if you visit this place with someone who struggles with walking uphill/downhill I wouldn't recommend to go down the beach as you have to walk up/down a steep hill to get there.

Great for walks, picnics, horse riding, body boarding, fishing, running, paragliding , hanggliding, a large clean beach when the tides out with some nice hills. Good selection of cafes.

The Gower is beautiful at any time, but in the spring sunshine, it's perfect. So many little bays and beaches, charming little villages with a wealth of fantastic eateries with something to suit all tastes and budgets. If you haven't visited yet, add it to your bucket list. If you have been, you'll be back

Lovely area to visit,too much to seeing one day, really enjoyed my visit, beaches are stunning,lots of history in area

A genuine place of natural beauty, it's difficult to believe that Swansea is so close by once you head into the area. Multiple stunning beaches and views, even the villages seem to have been built with the scenery in mind. We will be back again soon

Oh my goodness the gower was incredible! We've just got back from a holiday and it was fantastic, From all the coastal paths to the incredible bays, Feels like a proper escape visiting the Gower

Absolutely stunning coastline in South Wales. Beautiful beaches, with plenty of hidden gems along the way, whether it's waterfalls, an old fortress or magical forests.

A beautiful place.. must visit with kids. Go to three cliffs bay and Rochilles bay for sure. These are a little bit of a walk to get to. Something to keep in mind for older people and people with younger kids . There are a lot of other beaches too which you can drive down to . Do try out Joe's ice cream and Papi's pizza.

I'm 86 used to visit the Gower and Rhossili beach as a child. One of the top beaches in the world. Still enjoy visiting. Worms head means Sea Serpent's head.

Really enjoyable day. Boy my boys enjoyed the caves, dinosaurs and farm. They especially liked the water panning which was free. Lots to do and see and dog friendly (apart from the farm park) Be aware though that in places they walk around the area is very steep, both up and down although pathways are very safe. Views from the top were amazing. The little train from the car park to the main entrance was a great start to the visit. Would definitely recommend.

Overall this was great because of the beautiful setting, animals, and Cathedral Cave especially. *Not a suitable place for anyone with mobility issues!* The dinosaurs and gimmicky bits were quite tired and dated but didn't affect the overall experience. We spent a couple of hours here so it isn't quite as huge or a full day out as it looks online. Maybe if you have kids and do ALL the activities you might get a full day out. Dan Yr and Cathedral Cave are quite grand but the bone cave was tiny so we were in there about 5 minutes even when we listened to the audio in there. Takes longer to walk to it and back, it was the size of a large room. That specific cave is not worth it for those with limited mobility issues and it is not easy to walk to it bent over for some time as it's so low! The train running from the farm and shire horses to the main entrance and back is a brilliant addition. It's free too (can donate for air ambulance in cash boxes if you like). Runs every 5 mins and a nice view of the stones from it. No toilets at farm park but easy to hop on train back up to loos. Very very steep hills to walk up to 2 of the caves so you need to be relatively fit.

Booked here as looked good. Well definitely worth the money. The history of the caves was good, only thing couldn't hear the story properly. Came out and saw the dinosaurs. There is alot to see then walk up into the iron age village and into cathedral caves. The whole experience was brilliant. On the paths is dinosaurs some moving which was fun. There is 350 dinosaurs in total. We were there for 2 hours and would still go again. So much to see and is a good day out for all ages. There is a shire horse and activity park, we didn't go down there but only because was raining. There is accommodation which is through hoseseason. Also a campsite. Cafe is good and food good, reasonably priced. Tickets for the showcaves is worth it. Looking forward to going again. Plenty of parking.

All 3 Caves were amazing specially Cathedral Cave which had stunning views, much broader and had beautiful waterfalls in it. The Jurassic Park was also well managed and dedicated to Morgan Bros who founded those caves and all the fossils that were discovered in it. The Farm is also well managed and mostly animals are roaming free which was very nice as an experience for our kids and it’s not too crowded which makes it more safe from animals.

Very good day out for the whole family! Just make sure to wear suitable footwear as you will walk a fair distance. The children loved walking through the caves, throughout the caves are small displays and speakers telling a story so its educational, i founs this very interesting. And to finish the day off you get to walk round a huge field with a number of different animals casually walking round with you letting you pet them. I would highly recommend for all ages and will definitely visit in the future! 10/10

We had a great few hours here - visited for the caves and knew there were 'a few' dinosaur models around but hadn't realised quite as many dinosaurs. It's half caves, half dinosaurs but also a farm area with lots of animals and indoor and outdoor play areas too. So loads to keep the kids entertained. The caves were amazing too - 3 to visit in total, the first one was quite long and really interesting, the second one was huge, really impressive with a very pretty waterfall inside, and the third one wasn't so special but a great scenic viewing platform on the walk up to it. We didn't eat as had already taken sandwiches in but the cafe looked good and very reasonable, lots of lunch options.

There’s so much to see! From the incredible caves, to the almost endless number of dinosaurs, and all the animals at the bottom of the hill many of whom are friendly enough that you can pet them! The cafe was bustling and well organised with a buzzer system, they offered vegan nuggets and chips and vegan tart (chocolate or lemon).

The sheer size of this statue gets you. You don't necessarily expect something on this epic scale in a place like Ilfracombe. I used to be a regular visitor 1980s/1990s but hadn't been for about 20 years. Had no idea about the statue until I got here. Great surprise. Despite the size of it, the statue fits perfectly at the mouth of Ilfracombe's harbour, which already enjoys a dramatic setting. Like someone else mentioned, the statue and the seeing reminds you of Colossus of Rhodes. Why truth and justice? Why the skin layers? I don't know. Maybe I'll look it up later, but my initial reaction is, wow - look at the size of that thing! Cool! Infective is one of my favourite places. This statue has improved it.

Amazing sculpture towering over the Quay at Ilfracombe. This bronze statue is apparently on loan. It's a striking piece of artwork by Damien Hirst. The pregnant lady with a sword held high above her head looks out across the Bristol channel. It stands over 20 metres high. There is an information board explaining about the statue and how it represents 'Life'. Has to be seen up close to be really appreciated.

Verity is a striking bronze sculpture by artist Damien Hirst, located at the edge of Ilfracombe Harbour in North Devon. Standing 20 metres tall, the statue depicts a pregnant woman holding a sword in one hand and scales behind her back, symbolising justice and truth. One side of the statue shows the woman's outer form, while the other side is anatomically exposed, revealing muscles, organs, and the unborn baby inside her womb. Installed in 2012, Verity has become a major landmark in Ilfracombe, attracting visitors from around the country. The statue stands on a base of legal books, further reinforcing its symbolic message of justice and strength. The detail in the sculpture is impressive, and its scale makes it visible from many points around the harbour. Public opinion has been mixed—some admire its bold design and powerful message, while others find it controversial or challenging to look at. Regardless of opinion, it has undeniably put Ilfracombe on the cultural map. Visiting Verity in person allows you to appreciate the craftsmanship and the impact of the piece. It’s a thought-provoking work of art that adds a unique and modern element to the traditional coastal scenery of the town.

We were surprised to discover this impressive, large, 20 meter high statue of a woman at the mouth of Ilfracombe Harbour. It is a bronze sculpture created by Damien Hirst. On one side it depicts the outer form with her holding a sword and scales - justice and truth. The other side is a bit more gruesome showing her internal organs and a baby developing in her womb. Not the sort of thing you'll find gracing most harbour entrances.

Absolutely stunning artwork and interpretation of justice and strength, the statue is so unique and as you approach from afar its immense size is incredible and leaves you in awe, the information boards below the statue are a great addition and give so much information.

Takes your Breath away its truly magical sight

Absolutely stunning piece of artwork by Damien Hirst. Parking (payable) available right next to her, but do walk around the harbour and admire her from afar too.

Great fun and something totally different! We went as a family of 4 (kids 8 and 11) and all had a fab time. The staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable, particularly the gentleman who took us down into the mines. We learnt a lot and really enjoyed being able to Immerse ourselves in such a big bit of the areas history.

A thoroughly enjoyable day out. There was a quite a queue for the underground tour, but it was well worth it. Our guide, Mark, was brilliant. He really brought to life how it must have been to work down a coal mine, at the same time being funny and engaging. At one point he got the group to turn their lights off. It was amazing just how dark it actually was. A complete absence of light! Really great experience that I'd wholeheartedly recommend. It's not just for geeks...

This was one of the best tours ive ever been on! The history was amazing to learn on the underground tour. Your not allowed any of your belongings on you in the mines, but the tour guides were amazing friendly happy to answer any questions and told the story amazingly it truly was a great experience to have and learn about. Definitely recommend a visit the gift shop was full of amazing goodies too!

This was an incredible experience and so much more than I expected!!! You can spend a long time just on what you get with only a small (£5) parking fee, but I highly recommend paying the small (£5 adult) fee to get to have an underground tour... it would have been well worth it for half the time, but for this, you get a full tour of approximately 50minutes, with an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide, ours had worked mines for generations! The location by itself has stunning views around, and the free "King Coal" exhibit has an immersive and interactive experience, so you can get to see what it would have been like for the miners of the past should you not wish to head under yourselves. To top it all off is the free to enter bathhouse, which has more of what you'd expect from a museum (glass encased exhibits).

Despite the heavy rain, we enjoyed our visit. The underground tours were fully booked (due to school visits) which didn't matter too much because we had been a few years ago. It might be worth booking ahead - £8 per person instead of £5 on the day. I love reading all the miners' stories on the locker doors in the Miners' Bath House. All the buildings around the site are worth exploring. There's just so much to see. The museum in the bath House is very interesting - just the right amount of information to ignite your interest and want to read more as you wander around. My teenage boys found it very interesting as they had done when they were 7 and 10.

We had a great time at this fab museum. Our guide was awesome. Hearing about the mine from someone who worked there really brought it to life. Would definately recommend it others. We visited on a the free weekend so it was busy with long queue times but even despite that all our group of 7 thought it was great.

Friendly welcome, very informative and interesting exhibitions, definitelly recommended when in the area. Great source of local history. Entry is free, £5 for car park, which is is fair.

A fantastic place to spend all day. You can just walk around, do some rope activities or just be stunned at the beauty. For both indoorsy and outdoorsy people. There are 2 stunning art galleries and suitable for children too. I absolutely loved it and it is free. No tickets and no need to buy a map. The signs are everywhere and you can not be lost. There are some pubs locally but they were so full for lunches we had to wait for an hour! Not worth the price so bring your lunch and drinks unless you want to definitely try fish and chips in-house or go to the restaurant located at the start of your journey but that has a very poor review. Overall an amazing day out. On a windy day wear layers & definitely warm yourself up by walking around.

Really nice afternoon out. It's free so I won't be too harsh but it would benefit from some more information dotted about. Lots of stuff was shut which is understandable in the middle of the week etc but wish it was clearer before walking around. Most of the buildings were shut or empty. But the ones with the volunteers were great. Loved the fire going in the farmhouse it makes it feel real. Should be more info on the process of how i the buildings were moved as that's fascinating in itself!

This museum is very much like a cultural theme park, reconstructing historical buildings from around Wales within a beautiful landscape. The staff are not only extraordinary friendly and welcoming, but seem genuinely kind and patient. Many families come with young children and the site provides good entertainment for kids. On top of that, it is free to enter. This is definitely one of the greatest places in Cardiff.

We had a lovely day here. Definitely worth a visit. We were a group of 12 with 2 dogs, and our ages ranged from 12 to 81 and they all enjoyed the walks from house to house. It was also lovely to listen to the members of staff with all their knowledge. I knocked a star off the experience due to not being able to take the dogs in for cooked food in the main restaurant. A member of staff told us that we could eat in the cafe the other end of the estate. Once we got there, it was only pre packed sandwiches and cakes. We wanted cooked food. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable day

Parking here is £7 for the whole day or free for blue badge holders. I've been here a few times but think it's amazing how old buildings have been taken down n rebuilt exactly as the stood before the vulcan pub is finished and sells alcohol bur it looks amazing and the shops are a blast from the past the place is massive but so peaceful also seeing how our ancestors lived compared to today is mind blowing would recommend visiting if never been before .

Wonderful Museum! each building is interesting and immerses you into the past. it’s free and perfect for a day out for all ages. Bring a pack lunch! the only expense was £7 for all day parking and some gift shop goodies.

We had a great experience at the Museum. Lovely main building with ample parking and facilities. It has a big food court too. The main attraction was the Welsh houses in the complex. They depict the ancient Welsh life effectively. Must have taken a lot of effort to relocate and rebuild these iconic buildings.

Dunster Castle is magical and so incredibly beautiful. We visited it on a beautiful summer day, the kids loved the outdoor games and the bat trail activity. The castle inside is very well cared for and the gardens are a dream to explore. Highly recommend. Tickets can only be bought on site :)

Fantastic building in an amazing location. Extremely rare leather and silver leaf paintings are breathtaking. Extensive gardens; steep in parts with a great kids play area. The mill was an added bonus. Well maintained, producing and selling their own flour with a super cafe nearby.

Historically amazing place, the castle was very interesting and well looked after. We enjoyed learning about it's history. The shops however were lacking gluten free options and we had to leave early to get food elsewhere.

The village surrounding the castle is beautiful, and lovely to walk through on the way to the castle including the secret garden ran by the castle gardener. Just be aware there are some rather steep slopes to walk up. There are a few cafes that do cream tea outside the castle and also museums and shops. Once actually in the castle grounds there are also lots of slopes to walk up and down to access different areas. There is lots of information about the castle and how it came to be what it is today and also some original features. The views from the castle are wonderful and can see for miles. There is parking for the castle and also other parking nearby if needed. There is a watermill that is still operating which they use to make flour, you can also buy this in the shop as well as other local produce.

What a great place. Very well kept. Fantastic gardens all around the castle and down to the Watermill. The gardens down to the mill are fantastic for children. If you are going to see Dunster properly, it will take a good 4 hours. Great Cafe at the Mill as well, which is all in working order.

A really beautiful castle with stunning views from the top of the hill. The water mill is a must visit too and it’s a lovely stroll through the village to get there!

Look out for the secret passage! We've visited many times,we go to buy the milled oats and flour ground at the mill once or twice a week. Dunster is a lovely little place.

A warm welcome to a warm cathedral with free entry which is a big plus these days. Dogs welcome too. We enjoyed our stay and contributed well in excess of the modest £5 suggestion. The linked Mappa Mundi and chain library exhibition is a must visit and is subject to a separate charge. There is a small café too and outside seating in warmer weather. Highly recommend place to visit.

We were recommended this by a friend to visit as a must see attraction in Hereford. The Cathedral alone is an amazing experience to discover all the historical information and architecture. The Mapps Mundi and Chained Library is a unique experience with excellent staff who happily explain all aspects of these unique artifacts. The Cathedral is free to enter but you have to pay a reasonable fee for the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library. There is also a cafe and toilets if needed and the whole area is ideal for those that have mobility issues or are wheelchair users.

Free to enter cathedral. A wonder of craftsmanship and design. A place of worship that's existed according to CoE for over 1300 years. The Cathedral has been there since 1300. There is an exhibition there on maps and books from over 700 years ago, it's a paid for ticket entrance but worth it. Nice gardens and cafe.

We went to see the chained library and the magna Carta Very interesting. Great Cathedral and of course has the SAS window. Very interesting vist and quite a nice cafe.

A wonderful cathedral with a great deal to see. Seeing the Mappa Mundi and chained library is not cheap at £7 per adult but was highly worthwhile. The Mappa Mundi is much more impressive and fascinating than I expected from reproductions.

Went mainly to see the Mappa Mundi and the chained library. Volunteers freely offered interesting information on the exhibitions and there's the usual nice coffee and gift shops. Friendly people working and volunteering here, as you'd expect. A pleasant way to spend some time in a pleasant town.

Great place to visit. 'City Praise' is a great event to go to. Every so often, almost once a month, possibly two, the various church congregations in Hereford gather at the Cathedral to worship together.

Definitely worth the trip to the castle. The views from the top are amazing. Quite steep steps to go up to the top though. I would also recommend doing the tour for the extra money. The tour takes you to some extra places that you are not allowed to go on with a standard admission ticket. You will need to look at the times when the tours take place before you go.

Cardiff Castle is an absolute must-see if you’re visiting the city. Right in the centre, it blends Roman foundations, medieval walls, and lavish Victorian Gothic interiors in one incredible site. You can wander through the impressive castle apartments, climb the Norman keep for sweeping city views, and explore the old wartime tunnels hidden beneath the walls. Everything is beautifully preserved and full of detail — ornate ceilings, stained glass, intricate woodwork, and fascinating exhibits. The audio guide and staff give great insight into the castle’s long history, from Roman times to World War II. The castle grounds are peaceful and surprisingly spacious given it’s right in the heart of Cardiff, perfect for a stroll or a quiet break from the city bustle. There’s also a lovely café and shop on-site. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just looking for something iconic to see in Cardiff, this place is well worth the visit!

One of the better castles I've visited. Plenty to see and explore, interactive audio download available and very reasonably priced. The cafe and gift shop are quite small but the staff are helpful and friendly.

This castle is worth visiting. Many things to see and do. The house is lovely and there’s an informative museum too. Children love to roam at the ground. No parking available on the site. You need to find one on the other place.

Lovely castle at the heart of Cardiff city centre. One of the most well-preserved castles we visited. We visited on a weekday so it was not too crowded. The highlight was walking through the WW2 air raid shelter. The posters, the darkness and the sound effects from the speakers really enhanced our experience and we felt as if we travelled back in time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our visit and we highly recommend it as a must see when you visit Cardiff.

Lovely well-maintained castle, friendly staff, and spacious lawns which make for a beautiful sight. It’a not very big but it’s lovely to see and the Firing Line museum below is informative and interesting. Worth a visit!

A really brilliant experience here. Make sure you download the audio guide and bring your earphones. One thing I would have preferred is that their locations and different numbers so you would know what to listen to add particular spots. But it's great to see so many languages catered for and despite it being busy, it was a really peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere. Definitely a highlight on my trip to Cardiff.

First time we've have visited the Principality Stadium and it was very impressive. The overall design for spectators is excellent. Having a capacity of 75000 you still fell close to the action. Also first time to an International rugby game and although Wales lost we had a really good day.

Great ticketing policy with changing QR codes. Easy access to the ground. The toilets were in good condition, but down a lot of stairs. Phenomenal light shows and a great rugby match.

We attended the stadium for the Oasis concert and it was AMAZING! The stadium is huge and there was a wide selection of drinks on offer and reasonably prices. The system thag implemented made it quick service and the staff were friendly. What an incredible experience, keep an eye out of events here because it was well worth attending.

Saw a fantastic game, Wales Vs Japan. A real back and forth match, with some great play. The seating in the middle section gives excellent views of the pitch. The beer is £7.50 a pint. Getting in and out was fast and easy.

Watched a very hard fought rugby match which had us on the edge of our seats. The roof was closed so made the atmosphere even nicer on a cold winters day. The seats were spacious and facilities clean. Found it was one of the easier stadiums to get in and out off. In fhe heart if Csrdiff so easy to walk to and from restarants, pubs and clubs

Awesome stadium. Events are organised very well. The facilities are plentiful. Toilets are clean. Crowd management is also of a very good system,

Best stadium in the world caters for everybody from alcohol-free zones for families to adult areas. The roof enclosure really does cater for The best possible playing conditions and also amazing facilities for concerts. The recent Wales versus New Zealand rugby match was absolutely excellent with amazing, half-time entertainment. I cannot wait to take my family again.

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

I wish they had a sunny beer terrace on the top floor of the pier—it would make a huge difference. Watching the sunset with a beer in hand is the kind of memorable experience people come back for. Many piers in California offer that, and it really elevates the visit. I also noticed a few loose floorboards that caused someone to stumble, so hopefully those get fixed sooner rather than later.

Lovely spot for a walk — the pier has stunning views, especially around sunset. It’s £2 to get on, which feels fair for how well kept it is. There’s a fun little arcade at the end with a mix of old-school and newer games, great for kids or a quick go yourself. Perfect place to unwind and take in the view.

We had an amazing time at The Grand Pier and Weston-super-Mare! The beach was lively with so much to do rides, food stalls, ice cream, and activities for everyone. The sand was absolutely amazing and so soft, perfect for relaxing or playing with the kids. We stayed to watch the sunset, which was phenomenal! The only downsides were that the water was quite dirty and stayed far out most of the day, only coming closer around 6 in the evening. Overall though, it was such a fun and memorable day out. Definitely worth a visit

The rides were great fun, and the wristband offers good value for unlimited rides. Just be aware that go-karting requires closed-toe shoes—so no sandals! The 2p machines were entertaining but a bit stingy with the prizes. Also, the £2 initial entrance fee to the pier feels a little steep, especially if you're just planning a short visit. It was a great way to spend time together and make some happy memories.

Went to see Richard Hawley and his band who were outstanding. I'm not sure why they were performing here as the venue was too small for an artist of this stature. It is a weird venue because it is situated in the midst of arcade machines. But the sound was good. I wouldn't rush back to a gig there.

The pier last caught fire in 2008. I'd rather walk through the embers and ashes of what was left than the monstrosity they replaced it with. Surely some visionary could've been consulted to do something different? It's all 'kiss me quick' and the old and tired sparkly 'let's throw some money into the slot machine'. Okay, twenty-first century themed slot machines, but it's all the same old, same old. So put on a pair of sunglasses 👓, put two quid through the entrance gate and bore yourself stupid. The Grand Pier is like the featured coffee I bought there. Nothing special.

Day out to Weston Supermare and a wander down the pier. £2 entry through turnstiles. Lovely walk - or there’s a free train- we came back on the train being big kids, or rather we were full from a delicious lunch at Tiffany’s. Great views out to sea - tide was out so it was mostly sand! Played on a few machines in the arcade but didn’t win anything!

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.

This place is fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit today with 2 teenagers who are not normally bird fans. The setting is beautiful, lovely trees and gardens, great facilities (vegan food options, thank you!) and the aviaries were clean & well kept. Had reservations about paying to see captive birds but learning more about the work done here to help endangered species made us happy to support the work. Flying displays were the best we've seen, so entertaining and very informative. Moved through the display at a good rate so not boring for kids and handlers were really knowledgeable and professional. Sound system actually worked so you could hear every word! Thoroughly recommended visiting and would go again.

Thoroughly enjoyed a day out here. The place isn’t brilliantly signposted to get to but once you’re there it’s brilliant. The place is kept up together really nicely, there’s a little cafe which does a great selection of food. The staff all around the site are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I’d say the flight displays are a must!!! You get to see some of the birds in action but I won’t tell you too much otherwise I’ll spoil it. Highly recommend a visit to here, you must book ahead online.

Incredible place doing some fantastic conservation work. Myself and my children enjoyed our visit, the displays are worth waiting around for. I used to visit when I was a child so it's lovely to bring my family back to enjoy the huge variety of birds. We took a picnic as there's lots of areas to sit, the cafe is well stocked too as we had a peak and bought a coffee. The gift shop was small but stocked with lots of goodies to choose at the end of our visit. Jemima and the team are so knowledgeable and you can tell how much care is gone into the birds enclosures, displays and the gardens are beautiful. Highly recommend you pay a visit, I also donate on my birthday each year as I know the funds are well used. Can't wait to go back.

Had a fantastic time at the International Centre for birds of Prey! Really great value for money, great flying demonstrations and great facilities. We took our 8 month old who loved looking at the flying demonstrations. There is great pram access and baby changing facilities. Really looking forward to going back, and definitely considering becoming a member. This facility does great work around the world. Highly recommend a visit.

Highly recommended! Very suitable to all age groups. Good value for money. Lots of birds are available to view and the demonstration is absolutely fun to watch. A lot to learn. The dogs are also a bonus. If you come across this, please visit and support them.

This place is amazing!! Cannot rate it highly enough! The best day out we've had in a very long time..... Even without the Covid induced lack of days out! 😂 The staff are very knowledgeable and clearly have a deep affection for all the birds in their care. There were 3 flying displays throughout our day and we didn't see the same bird fly twice. We spent all day there and honestly, it felt like we'd only been there for a short time despite being there all day. Really didn't want to leave! Will definitely be returning as soon as we can.

The centre is lovely, great selection of birds that you get very close to and great to looking at. The flying demonstration was good, however the sound on the PA kept cutting out. The only thing that let it down and it was kind of a big one for us was that during our picnic were we sat on the supplied picnic benches next to the coffee shop there 5 dogs that seemed to belong to the centre owners / staff that came around us and did nothing but beg for food and generally annoy us and spoil our picnic. I have no problem with dogs being allowed to roam around this kind of places but only ones that are fully trained. We also saw these same dogs using the parks grass and bench area as a toilet which again wasn't great. Shame really.

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

Such a jolly guy to welcome us at entrance/pay desk! Very helpful and friendly. He recommended we take our time to look in detail at everything as there are lots of 'play on words' signage giving plenty of laughs! Great that the ticket price allows free entry for a week from visit. I thought £20.50 was reasonable as we spent 2 n half hours and there's lots of interesting history and information about the costs and man hours involved in the creation and production/maintenance of the models. It is constantly evolving, we really enjoyed our visit !!

This was an amazing day out. So many tiny details and so many puns. Look out for where's wally and friends! The person who designed this place was a genius. The models are all beautifully made and the landscaping is amazing. It is in a valley so you will have to walk up and downhill, however, everything is laid with concrete and there are handrails as well. I went round it with a buggy and it was fine. There are indoor parts as well including mythical kingdoms and more detailed models. The crazy golf was fun as well and is included in the ticket price. There is a coffee shop with snacks and bathrooms at the top as well. There's also baby changing areas. I would recommend going during the day to see all of the tiny details. You can return within 7 days free with your ticket. We went the following night to see the illuminations which were beautiful. I will come again next year with my family ☺️ Thank you so much to the lovely staff who made our day as well!

Now this place was a surprise, I only thought I'd be here a couple of hours....... 4 hours later, so much to see and take in, the place was alot bigger than expected, I loved it...... Even played a round of mini golf 😂. It looks like you could get to do I night time visit on special occasions (would have loved to have done that, maybe next time I'm in the area 😁). Definitely a place to visit with or without the kids.

Went there during school holidays, and we were pleasantly surprised how big and lovely this village is. Lots of interesting displays, since it was October everywhere were skeletons and other spooky things. Since we are local we also got 25% discount which was nice. Lovely little gift shop and cafe. Parking - pay and display.

Well worth going. It looks like nothing from the outside but big once inside. The quality of the exhibits is very high showing craftsmanship and a sense of humour. Entrance is from a local council car park paid on RingGo

Visited babbacombe with my partner , we both loved It, the attention to detail is crazy , you easily spend 2/3 hours there , also free crazy golf included in your admission ! Only downside and it's not the model villages fault , you have to pay for parking as it's owned by the council ( shock ) it's around £4 for 3 hours

Really good little model village with a lot of humour, crazy golf and a cafe. There's also some indoor bits which are really good. Public car park outside

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended Experience! An absolute must-do if you’re in the area. The caves themselves are fascinating – steeped in history, atmosphere, and stories that stretch back millions of years. Walking in and around the site feels like stepping into another world. A very special shout-out to Mark, our guide. He was engaging, funny, and crystal clear in his delivery. More than that, he was interactive and knew exactly how to bring the history to life, making the experience immersive from start to finish. If you’re looking for something unique, memorable, and truly eye-opening, this is one of the best things to do. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

I attended a little while ago for the first time despite being local to the area, firstly we stopped off for a coffee as it was very much needed first thing and I didn't have anything to fault with it, if anything I remember it being one of the better lattes I've had in the bay which is saying something. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable when booking making the process quick and painless. In terms of the guided tour this was pretty damn good, the tour guide was knowledgeable and engaged with the tour on numerous occasions, always happy to answer any questions put towards them and ensured everyone's safety in the darker areas. If you're looking for something unique and different from the daily grind I'd definitely recommend trying this out, either solo or as a family.

Kent's Cavern - Fantastic geological marvel. Naturally formed over 500 million years. You cannot help but be in awe of this cavernous wonder. You have a fully guided tour who is informative and friendly and willing to answer all questions. I have seen they do special events in the caves as well, which seems a great idea. Such as Halloween/Christmas/Movie nights. Unfortunately... This attraction is not the longest and you could easily be in and out within the hour. Disability access isnt great but they do highlight this before you visit. I do feel soo much more could be done to enhance the experience and make you stay on site longer creating more of a day out of your experience. There is a woodland walk they have built but a lot more investment is needed to make it engaging. Money is tight these days, and i wouldn't even like to begin to imagine the amount insurance costs for something like this! and i hope it is protected forever going forwards... But to make money sometimes you need to spend money! and this is definitely one of those attractions.

Had a fantastic time in the caves today! We visited with our 3 children and arrived 5mins late due to having to walk from our accommodation and the gentleman on the desk was extremely helpful and moved us to the next tour which we truly appreciated. Our guide Alan was fabulous ; engaging, informative and knowledgeable. Really interesting tour which lasted about an hour but flew by as it was so enjoyable. The caves are well lit and it has good flooring - there was a granny in flip flops and socks on our tour and she managed fine! We had a cream tea after which were lovely and generous portions, the cafe staff were all very polite, friendly and helpful, we had a lovely time and would highly recommend thank you! X

Fantastic place to visit when in Torquay and well worth visiting if further away. Surprisingly large cave with excellent tour guides. I went in October so there were only 4 visitors so had a great experience with no crowds. Highly recommended!

A real holiday highlight, these stunning caverns are shown in as natural a state as possible and are all the better for it. Enhanced by the top quality guides, the shows are inclusive and family friendly without glossing the less clean parts of history. Fascinating and a must visit while in the area

Absolutely fascinating experience at Kent's Cavern. Our tour guide, Emelia, was brilliant. Her knowledge of the caves, prehistoric history, and little details made the entire tour come to life. The caves themselves are stunning and incredibly well preserved. It’s amazing to think how much history is hidden underground. Everything was well organised, from the welcome at the front desk to the informative tour and café afterwards. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Whether you’re into history, geology, or just looking for something unique to do, Kent’s Cavern is a must visit. Don’t miss it!

Follow the Bristol Zoo sign with an Elephant. When you arrive, there's no Elephant! Overall a great attraction, especially for youngsters. Plenty to see and a lovely walk throughout too. I only dropped a star as at least 5 attractions were empty or undergoing maintainance. This has been the case on previous visits too. The restaurant inside is well spaced, clean and tidy, good service from the staff too. My only reservation was the high prices (as to be expected at the type of attractions). The array of wildlife is good, I particularly recommended trying to coordinate with certain feeding times for a more enhanced visit. After lunch, we tried 4 vending machines for ice-cream, all were out of order. This was a slight disappointment to my daughter (not my pocket!). Overall a good day out. Advisable to book your tickets online to avoid disappointment. I would certainly recommend this attraction. Less than an hour journey from Cardiff.

Great selection of animals..very enjoyable experience. All the animals look happy and relaxed so I'm certain they're treated well. Great time to see the animals in their daily routine. I understand people's reservations on animals on captivity but a lot of the animals here are in danger of extinction so I'm glad to see their breeding program to help restore the population. Overall a wonderful experience

The zoo itself was awesome, the exhibits were diverse and especially the aquarium and reptile house were really well scaped! Saw a lot of animals I haven't seen before and caught some great animal behaviours. Sad to see it closing but looking forward to my first visit to Wild Place later this year! Deducted one star for it taking 30 minutes to park, but that won't be a problem when they move out of the city 💜

A fantastic day out for the family. A wide variety of wildlife from flamingos to lions. All the obvious attractions you’d expect. The restaurant was spacious and the good was good. Plenty of baby changing facilities. Parking was easy and in close proximity to the Zoo. At £4 unlimited the parking was a very reasonable price. I would highly recommended this attraction for a fun day out. My only negative was that pushchair access was not easy st times and wheel chair users may struggle as none of the doors were extra wide or powered. Other than that a brilliant day out. We will be back again soon

Amazing zoo! The exhibits were great and the animals were easy to see. There was a lot of things to do with kids. We spent about 4 hours here with our 3 kids and could have spent more time. We brought our buggy and it was easy to get around everywhere.

Many animals absent or not in viewing areas when visiting, which I guess can’t be helped to a certain degree. No comms regarding enclosure timings / closures info regarding feeding times / talks on a sandwich board at entry only. Took over an hour to find a parking space after finding out when getting to the zoo the car park was full and the entrance barred. The limited on street parking around the zoo all has a 3 hr max stay which isn’t helpful. On trying to ring the zoo to find out if we are still allowed to attend outside of our half hour slot, nobody was answering the phones so wasn’t sure either way. Heading towards the not well advertised overflow car park which was managed by luck it wasn’t apparent if it was full or not but there appeared to be no entrance. That is to say save for an area where 2 individuals in hi-vis sat away from the road, one rolling a joint the other playing on their phone. Eventually finding a spot to park on street that wasn’t limited to a 3hr window, on walking past the zoo car park it became evident there wasn’t any active management of the car parks as despite still being closed there were numerous empty spaces available. The penguins were a highlight though these days there are few and trying to see them at feeding time is awkward due to the crowd. The best for me was the seal feeding and talk as despite the crowd I was able to see due to the animals being clearly much larger than penguins. The fruit bats able to walk around overhead was also an enjoyable experience. Witnessed and area of concern when I was exiting through the gift shop, where an employee was weaving a stack of boxes through the busy crowds above her head height balanced on a wheelchair of all things?! I doubt that was on the risk assessment.

Lovely family day out. You can get really up close with the animals and the staff are all on hand to answer any questions. Feeding the birds is a wonderful experience for all ages and the butterfly house is also a hit. Never had an issue with parking although the car park is pretty small. We always take our own food but there are facilities there in which to purchase but as with all places, expect to pay for this. All in all, a lovely day out.

A must do when visiting the Clifton Suspension Bridge is visiting it by foot. There is a great walk from the river going up (you have to cross a busy road, but it is worth it as you see the bridge from different heights and angles. There is a digital tour with lots of information, download recommended!

A nice attraction in Bristol to visit for sure. The Clifton Suspension Bridge offers stunning views and plenty to explore around it. Whether you walk across and capture the beautiful sights of the surrounding villages or visit the nearby observatory, it’s always worth the trip. There are benches where you can sit, relax, and take in the scenery and a great spot to enjoy a coffee, unwind, or even have a picnic.

Really beautiful and stunning brigde. Great views on both side of the bridge. You can walk down on both side and get lovely pictures. There is a third spot from where you can capture the whole bridge and some facts about the bridge is given.

Before sharing my review, I want to acknowledge that the Clifton Suspension Bridge, despite its beauty, has sadly been the site of tragic losses. That’s why it’s so important to remember that help is always available. The Samaritans can be reached 24/7 at 116 123, with compassionate people ready to listen and support you through any situation. Remember, you matter, and the world is brighter with your smile in it. The Clifton Suspension Bridge is truly a sight to behold. Its beauty is breathtaking, especially when viewed from afar with the Avon Gorge beneath it. The bridge is steeped in history, having been designed by the famous engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1864. Walking across the bridge is free, and it gives you an incredible perspective of the surrounding area. Driving over it costs £1.50 for cars, which feels fair considering its importance. Visiting at night is especially beautiful with the lights turned on, creating a magical atmosphere. The bridge is not just a stunning piece of architecture, but also a vital link for transportation in the area and a symbol of Bristol itself.

A beautiful landmark, parking in the area is free on Sundays. We took a lovely stroll through the Beech woodland which then opens out to the Gorge below and then Clifton Bridge…..wow.

An absolutely amazing experience! The nature and scenery were breathtaking, with stunning views that reminded me of the beautiful mountain landscapes from where I come from. The location is truly unique and worth visiting. There’s a small toll for cars, but it’s free if you walk – and walking across gives you a completely different, more enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

This attraction is definitely worth a visit just for the breathtaking views across the valley. It's free to walk across unless your in a car that is and then you pay at the toll. Walking across did seem busy and you have to move with the traffic if people. There's lots of photo opportunitie here and when your thirsty after your walk across and back you can visit the nearby castle for refreshments.

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.

Our first time here and it did not disappoint! £20 for our tickets was completely worth it, there was so much to do! I took my 2 year old boy and he thoroughly enjoyed it, buggy park is at the beginning for any families, so take bags with you for the kids so it saves you heading back there to collect them (I left everything on the pram) not realising there isn’t enough space for them. The caves are something else and was an experience, so gorgeous and so much to learn about. Can be rather slippy and muddy so wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Some places you do have to duck and walk under due to low ceilings so take this into account if wanting to visit. Always being sturdy and strong on your feet too, I almost slipped and there is a lot of stairs! So much for children to do, my son was kept occupied the whole day we were there; 10:30 - 2:30! Highly recommend and we will be visiting again, it rained the whole day for us and didn’t ruin it at all!

The cave tour was great, with a small enough group you could still see and hear well. Only a couple of places where you had to drop low for height clearance. Good grip footwear/sensible shoes recommended. The rest of wookey hole was aimed mainly at kids with a dinosaur park, mini golf and amusements amongst the offerings. The cafe by the golf course was awful though. Cold coffee from the machines, very limited food offerings and the smell was less than pleasant. All 'hot' drinks were discarded. Staff were very friendly and professional.

Loved Wookey hole. Stayed at the lodges by the hotel, which were nice. The caves were great to go down into and the guide was informative. When you go back outside, there's a dinosaur wilderness which is good for little kids. We did the 4D cinema which was entertaining. If the weather hadn't been so bad, we would have done the crazy golf. But saying that, the weather added to the atmosphere, so didn't dampen out spirits. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic day out, great value for money, so interesting & informative with the history. The circus was ok though a big well done to the young ladies who performed. 4D cinema was fun ( though effects were slightly out of sync) little amusement inside was good, great array old fashioned amusement machines. Crazy golf was fun but gets busy.Food & drink available here or bring your own. It was well worth the drive from Shropshire.

Excellent caves but aren't for unsuitable for people who have disabilities due to uneven surfaces,loads of steps & a number of low ceilings heights. The views are stunning & there are a lot of things you can do in the caves. When you exit them you walk through a prehistoric area with animated dinosaurs, great for the kids. There's also a 4D cinema experience, circus( acrobats), mini golf, arcades ,(all included in the admission ticket.) & gift shop. There is a restaurant/cafe for food & drinks although choice is a little restricted.

Lovely time spent here, caves took approx 45 minutes with a guide giving lots of info. There is a 4D cinema and a circus 🎪 (weekends and school holidays). There is lots to do for children here.

We had a brilliant day, there is so much to do! Caves are great, 4D cinema was brilliant and my children loved the theatre. It’s really good value for money, having adventure golf included! We would definitely visit again

We visited Wells Cathedral on the recommendation of a former Wells Cathedral School student, and we enjoyed our time immensely. On entry one is struck by the magnificent 14th Century Scissors Arches that support the tower, then as one looks at the walls, that the cathedral is almost completely Early English Gothic style. Intricate carvings, some amusing (a man working to remove a thorn from his foot, someone with a toothache) are found everywhere. An amazing 14th Century astronomical clock - the second oldest in England - still works and marks quarter hours with a figure named Jack Blandifers striking bells with his hand and both feet while a set of knights on horseback joust each other. The north side of the cathedral holds the Chapter House, an absolutely stunning octagon with soaring fan vaulting and terrific acoustics. Outside, the West Front, which contains about 300 sculpted figures is currently undergoing restoration work, and because of this, much of the surface is hidden behind scaffolding while the stonemasons do their bit. Practical details: Admission when we visited was £15.00, with kids free. One can also purchase a Joint Ticket that includes entry to the adjacent Bishop’s Palace and Gardens. There is a nice café and well-stocked gift shop. Volunteer “Highlights” tours are available, and we spent an excellent hour with Mark. Parking was initially a bit of a challenge, but we eventually found space along side the Cathedral Green. Other parking options are available nearby.

Situated at one of the quietest towns in western England. The cathedral is an architectural marvel. Every inch of the walls tells you story from ancient to medieval history of the Christianity. A beautiful place where tranquility meets serenity.

This is a must see if you are in the area. The cathedral is lovely in all aspects. Make sure to do a docent tour, of which there are several. These volunteers have a wealth of knowledge, a good sense of humor, and will teach you many things. The architecture, furnishings, and artistry are evident everywhere in this fabulous cathedral.

At the foot of the Mendips Hills lies the charming town of Wells, famous primarily for its magnificent Cathedral Church of St. Andrew. In 705, an abbey was built on the site of a Roman mausoleum; the baptismal font from this abbey is still in use and is thus the oldest surviving object in the cathedral. In 909, the abbey church became the seat of Athelm, the first Bishop of Wells, a role the cathedral has fulfilled since 1245. Construction of the current cathedral began around 1180 and was completed in 1306. However, the building immediately proved too small, so work began on the cathedral extension, which was completed in 1490. Due to the various construction phases, the church also features various Gothic styles. The first phase is characterized by the Early English Gothic style, the second by the Decorated Gothic style, and the towers are in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The church was damaged twice, during the English Civil War and the Monmouth Rebellion, but the damage was repaired each time. In the mid-19th and late 20th centuries, the cathedral underwent a major restoration, allowing the 300,000 visitors who visit annually to admire the building in all its splendor. Wells Cathedral: an unmissable highlight of ecclesiastical architecture!

This is the best cathedral in Europe wish I could go every day to wells. the clock inside is very good. Must be a lot of work & cost to keep it going

Stunning piece of history which is so accessible to all. Situated in the centre of Wells, in amongst so many places to see. For me one of the highlights of the West country. So great

Beautiful cathedral, we very much enjoyed looking round, so much to see . The weather was not on are side, but we did look outside and up.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!
