Love this beach. If you can time it at low tide there are miles of sandy beach with little pools to paddle in. You can save money by pre booking parking the day before ( pre 11pm I think) . Then a short walk to the beach. If you turn left towards east wittering ( about 1.5 miles I think) there is a lovely walk and dunes. If you turn right there are cafes and food…but restrictions over dogs on beach in front of the huts. The day we were there there were a big group of kids doing litter picking and the beach was beautiful

As a dedicated fan of Jane Austen I have wanted to visit the Jane Austen house for quite some time. I was able to do so today and it was so wonderful. The staff are present to answer questions and are so helpful. They enjoy your own excitement. The home has been beautifully restored and includes so many items of Jane's. It was a joy to see the table where she wrote her novels. I leaned out the window that she probably leaned out of once upon a time. The grounds are lovely to explore as well. It was amazing to see first editions of all of her books!

This was a great glimpse into Roman History. The museum gives an interesting timeline, with many artefacts. The mosaics are amazing and you can see them in situ quite close up from walkways. Incredibly what you see is only a fraction of the Palace. The gardens are lovely and there is parking and a decent cafe.

I was in the area for business travel and decided to drop by to check out this park because my kids love dinosaurs and I seen they had a dinosaur area. I was not disappointed at all with the entire park. To enter the park you have to pay a fee.... It was about $25 US which is normal for most amusemant park like this one. They had great play structures/parks within the park that included wooden jungle gyms, metal slides and swings. Kids would have a blast climbing and running around! There is also this giant inflated balloon that kids can climb on and bounce on that is surrounded by sand in case a little one falls off. It stands about 5ft off the ground and the kids I seen were having a blast jumping and rolling off of it. There is a giant wooden ship which was pretty cool too. There is also a little feeding anima farm! In the middle of the park is a large lake. Lots of birds and I guess you can also fish there too. Seen a guy fishing for carp. Unsure if it's good fishing though buy hey, give it a try. There is a dirt path around that lake which brings you to the other side of the park where they have more play structures and the dinosaur exhibit area. There are approximately 20 fake dinosaurs along with a little informational piece about each one. If you have little ones, they could easily be scared because they have their teeth showing and don't don't look friendly but hey, that's a dinosaur for ya. They have sounds playing as you walk through to add to the experience which was cool. Definitely would take my kids. As you make your way around there is a splash pad for those hot days when the kids want to play in water along with another play park and slides next to it. There are also some hiking trails within the park as you first enter that I didn't get a chance to do but they say allow for an hour depending on which trail you decide to do. Cool park with cafes, sweet treats, and of course souvenirs to take home. Enjoy!

Beautiful and interesting! Very friendly staff and one of the less Cathedrals were you don't have to pay exorbitant entry prices. Donations are welcomed, totally fair!!!

Always a fantastic day out. Very knowledgeable volunteers. Gorgeous gardens, even though a been drooping from the heat this time around. Places to picnic and walk. A great little book nook. One of our favourite venues.

Fantastic place to walk around , well managed and maintained , yet a bit of jungle :) which I like. Very relaxing place , a real forest, highly recommended to anyone visiting , close to all the amenities too

We used the Hampshire Top Attraction website to get discounted entry. It's a lovely clean attraction with a couple of cafes serving a variety of food and drink. We bought a picnic with us and there were plenty of places to stop and eat at picnic benches in the sun and shade. We didn't walk around until after lunch as our children enjoyed the new tree top adventure park so much. Even though we have young children the tree top adventure was safe for them and mostly big enough for us adults to climb up and walk upright with them, adults are also able to fit on the slides and we weren't the only ones having a go!! The birds are well cared for and we wandered around slowly, our children enjoyed looking into the exhibits and trying to find the different birds. They absolutely loved the exhibits where the birds were free roaming and flying around our heads. All in all it was a slow paced, relaxed day out enjoyed by all.

I was kindly treated to two nights at Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery for my birthday. We stayed in the Pool House room, which is right by a pool, hot tub and sauna. These facilities are exclusively for the use of the pool House guests, so you can enjoy some privacy and don't get disturbed by other guests coming and going. The room is well appointed, with an ensuite bath/shower room, and views directly onto the vineyard catching the morning sun. Breakfast was included and done very well, with the option of a full English. The wine tour and tasting lasted about 2 hours, taking you on a tour of the vineyard and winery/brewery facilities, finished off with a tasting of some of their wines, beers and liqueurs. Very enjoyable indeed! They have a deal with a local pub for dinner, which includes a taxi ride there and back (about a 5-10 minute drive to Hambledon village). The menu was excellent and well worth it. We both cycle and enjoyed the excellent cycling in spectacular scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the winery and hope to go back at some point. It's a bit more to stay in the Pool House compared with the main house rooms, but worth it if you enjoy the facilities it offers.

A very interesting property, the exterior is not much to shout about, looks more like a prison block however the interior is quite amazing with highly painted walls and ceilings by famous artists. The hanging art collections are a joy to view and the staff were very informative and helpful. Also visited the Turner vision exhibition which was a little disappointing. Overall a very pleasant day out but more for adults rather than children.

We really enjoyed our visit. So much better that we thought it would be. We visited all parts and needed five hours to do so. The castle is stunning to see close up. The interior is vast. The gardens excellent. All very well maintained. Unlike National Trust properties all the guides are paid, not volunteers. They know the history well. The views across the countryside from the battlements and lovely. I recommend visiting. It is worth every penny of the entrance fee.

Great day out. Arrived when it opened and left at 5:45 children were 6 and 3. It was busy but from talking to others not as busy as school holidays. Smaller rides the wait was short which worked for us. Took the older one on 3 that that the other couldn't go on too. Went on enough to say it was worth it. My only criticism is there is no sense of pace with the staff. Could have moved the que a little faster if they were more enthusiastic. This is not a reflection on all the rides it was just on a few. Model village was fascinating for the kids with lots of moving parts. Once rides were over we spent at least half an hour there, could have spent longer. Took a packed lunch with us but plenty on food places. Would go back when my youngest is able to get on more rides.

I went to see the BANFF Mountain Film Festival, and it was amazing! After attending Gee Atherton's talk, I knew exactly where I wanted to sit. However, with the large screen and stage, you could honestly sit further back and still have a great view without any issues.

I only bother to do reviews if it’s worth raving about and this place certainly is! We didn’t actually anticipate how big Fishers Farm was going to be so we didn’t actually manage to do half the activities/ facilities available. We were here for 4 hours and it wasn’t enough! The food outlets are brilliant, the staff are extremely friendly and appear to actually enjoy their job which is rare to see nowadays. All ages can appreciate this farm. If you’re thinking about it, do it! My daughter had the time of her life, as did mum and dad 🙈

A great evening watching Joe Pasquale and Brian Conley. The seats in the upper circle are very steeply banked, so beware if you're not good with heights. The seats are also small and a snug fit so not much legroom or either side of you. Great venue though and polite staff!

Magnificent chapel with a Gothic architectural grandeur more typical of a fine cathedral, situated within the grounds of Windsor Castle. One of the highlights of the castle visit, the chapel's interior is as impressive as its exterior, with stunning ceilings, soaring arches and ornate oriel windows. Unfortunately photography is not permitted inside, but this helps keep visitors flowing through to avoid crowding. A number of memorials reside within the chapel, with 10 former royals laid to rest inside. The digital audio guide covers the chapel in detail and helps enhance the visitor experience. The chapel opening times are more restricted than the rest of the castle grounds, so it's worth checking the website before visiting to avoid disappointment.

A Breathtaking Journey Through History My visit to Windsor Castle was an absolutely unforgettable experience. It is not just a castle; it is a living monument to British history and royalty, and it truly deserves its reputation. The castle itself is magnificently grand and imposing, set against beautifully manicured lawns and pristine gardens. The contrast between the sturdy, historic stone walls and the flawless green landscaping is strikingly beautiful. Inside, the arrangement of the State Apartments is both logical and fascinating. Each room flows into the next, revealing its unique function, from grand halls for ceremonies to more intimate living quarters. They are beautifully preserved and offer a genuine sense of how the palace operated. Furthermore, the furnishings are not merely decorative; they are functional pieces of art. The vast and diverse collections are utterly precious. I was particularly captivated by the extensive array of portraits of royal members. These paintings, varying in size, are so vividly lifelike that they seem to breathe, telling the story of the monarchy across the centuries. The entire visit was an eye-opening and dazzling spectacle. It leaves one in deep awe of the British Royal Family's centuries of influence, global history, and their immense accumulation of cultural and artistic treasures. It was, without a doubt, a trip that was worth taking in every sense.

Nice place to visit sunny day . The access group employees including me visited the place to clean the beach organised by marine conservation society. Please help them. There are good few eateries in the area and shops.

Great spot for a wee hike and ramble. Impressive views and very helpful staff at the National Trust cabin. Tried to come here before but it was mist bound. This time there was excellent weather and views.

Hampton Court Palace is a magnificent historic site full of Tudor charm and rich history. The gardens are stunning and perfect for a leisurely walk. The palace interiors are grand, showcasing beautiful architecture and fascinating exhibitions. Staff are mostly helpful, though some areas could be improved for visitor engagement. The audio guide enhances the experience. A great day out for history lovers and families alike, though ticket prices are a bit steep

Cassiobury Park is a wonderful spot for a family day out, with plenty of open green spaces that make it perfect for picnics. The park has a variety of food options nearby, including cafés and kiosks where you can grab snacks, ice creams, or a hot drink to enjoy while relaxing on the grass. It’s easy to find a quiet patch for a picnic, whether you prefer being near the hub of activity or tucked away in a more peaceful corner. The atmosphere feels welcoming, and there’s a nice balance between areas to unwind and spaces buzzing with families. For children, the play areas are a real highlight—modern, safe, and full of equipment to keep them entertained for hours. The splash park in summer is a particular favorite, making it great for warm days. Walking along the canal adds another layer of charm, as you can watch narrowboats glide past or simply enjoy a gentle stroll. Between the kids’ attractions, the scenic waterway, and the relaxed picnic-friendly vibe, Cassiobury Park offers something for everyone and easily fills a day with simple but memorable pleasures.

We stayed in the Safari Hotel for 4 nights and had the best time! The room was clean and large which was great as we could put some toys out on the floor for our 14 month old. The one thing that stood out the most was the friendliness of the staff. Every single person we came into contact with from the reception team, cleaners and restaurant staff were friendly, helpful and polite. On the first morning our breakfast was served in the Temple Restaurant and we were greeted by Joanne who blew us away with her attentiveness and thoroughness to show us exactly where everything was. We felt so welcome. The next morning and for the rest of our stay we had breakfast at the Zafari restaurant where Julie looked after us. Julie was AMAZING with our daughter and would make a special effort to come over every morning to check we were okay and play with our daughter. Julie would sing songs and play with her and it really made us feel we were in the right place for our family. Julie is a STAR. We enjoyed 2 days in the park itself and loved every part of it. Seeing the animals was our favourite as this is something we could all do as a family. We had a great stay and will definitely be back. Thank you! 🙂

A great space for concerts. Saw the Stranglers and Skids on the night. Car parking at Gade 24hr car park quite close. Accessible for wheelchairs. A security arch was at entrance. No food on the night and beer wasn't all that either. Bands were great though.

What a fantastic day out for the whole family! So much to do for both my toddler and 5 year old. They were constantly entertained! The characters/entertainers were brilliant! The indoor play area was probably the cleanest soft play I've ever been to. The facilities were clean too. Couldn't recommend it more. Definitely worth the money!

Tilgate Park is a fantastic place for a family day out, offering something for everyone. The park is beautifully maintained, with plenty of open green spaces, scenic walking trails, and a stunning lake that makes for a perfect picnic spot. The adventure playground kept the kids entertained for hours, and there’s even a Go Ape for those looking for more thrills. For those who enjoy a bit of relaxation, the gardens and peaceful wooded areas are perfect for a quiet stroll. And if you don’t feel like packing a picnic, the café on-site offers tasty food and drinks. Whether you’re visiting with young children, teenagers, or just looking for a great outdoor spot, Tilgate Park is a fantastic choice! We’ll definitely be back.

Such a beautiful beautiful park! It’s so vast that you can walk around for the whole day and there’ll still be places left unexplored. It’s hands down one of the best green spaces in London. The park has this peaceful, wild atmosphere that’s hard to find in London. There are open grasslands, wooded areas, little ponds, and loads of walking and cycling paths that can keep you exploring for hours. If you’re lucky, you will find deer casually wandering around. You can walk, run, bike, or simple chill under a tree, it feels amazing to do so, connecting with nature and with your own thoughts. You can also get some great views over London from King Henry’s Mound. I went on a sunny weekend and the crowd wasn’t much as expected. The park is so big that if you walk a bit further in, you’ll always find quiet spots. And if you are a Ted Lasso fan, you’ll find places in Richmond that you’d have seen in the series. Highly recommend the place!

Visited this farm back in April and it was a wonderful experience, so beautiful seeing so many tulips of different species. It's a huge field full of plants. There is a shop and stalls selling drinks and food. The only negative aspect it's a very touristy attraction so it was a bit crowded. We visited during the weekend maybe during the week is better. Highly recommended.

Wakehurst botanical garden is a great place to take your dog(s) for a walk. There are several routes you can choose from, we usually take the long round trip. There are some no dog zones but there is plenty to explore where you can take your dog. There is a big field which is an off lead area for doggies, full of smells to sniff. If you come without dogs, I recommend visiting the mansion, the water gardens and the wetland walk around the lake. We have been here in different seasons but there is always something to see or a different route to explore. Highly recommended. Great facilities as well, plenty of parking, toilets in different places and two cafes to choose from.

Visited the garden with my dog. Really friendly staff and lovely grounds. It's also great, if you're on your own like me, to be able to take your dog in the cafe and shop to buy things as some sites do not allow this. Only thing I would say is it would be nice to see more NT sites bringing back garden only admittance charges. £18 for the house and garden is good value but with parking not included it's allot if you are only visiting the garden for an hour.
