Took our 3 kids (all 4 and under) for the day. Staff were really welcoming and they had 'Andy's adventure' theme with lots of extra bits around the park. These were hosted by staff and really clever and fun for the kids. The theme ran across the whole park and there were some really clever bits the kids got to be involved with. There are still some areas of the park under construction but there is still plenty to see and explore. You can definitely see the vision and it will be a great zoo over the next few years. There were some lovely play parks and climbing bits for the kids. Not many animals but this will increase. The animals they did have were in some great enclosures with easy visibility and unique viewing points. The bear walk was lovely and memorable! Paths were lined with blackberry bushes which felt really natural and aided in the wildlife support. Lots of fun signs and interesting bits for the kids to see along the way. My kids loved the maze too. We had a lovely day out and will return again see what changes and animals are there. It has been cleverly thought out and designed perfectly for both visitors and animals/wildlife.

Nice little zoo, aimed at younger children. Lots of walking around to the different exhibits. We looked at everything at a leisurely pace with several drinks and food stops in under six hours. The site is expanding. Hopefully they will also build more toilets - the current lack of being really my only criticism. Probably best visited when the weather is half decent.

I had a lovely day here. There’s a lot of space for the animals and it’s nice that they are able to roam around. There’s not as big a selection of animals, but there are still plenty there to see. We got lucky and managed to see all the animals. There’s still work in progress, and there’s some work under construction. The highlight for me was seeing the giraffes. One of the giraffes was really close. It was amazing to see. The bear woods was good too, as we managed to see the bears come out at the perfect time. We got ice cream at the end, which was delicious. I had a really nice day here at the zoo. I’d highly recommend it for a day out.

Had a lovely time visiting Bristol Zoo Project. Loved seeing all of the animals. Keepers/ volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. Loved the talks they did throughout the day. Spacious car park, clean facilities and lots of places to sit and have food and drink. The only downside are the prices for food and drink. Would recommend a visit!

Been to Bristol Zoo before, but not the new location. Still very much in the process of moving over to the new area and all for that, nothing against it, but we went here for the Andy Day trail/experience and Halloween very much took over, there were only a few things to do with Andy Day and my daughter would have loved to have seen more. Hopefully our next visit will be better with more animals moved across, alot of areas empty and only 1 in some places. But we will be back!

It was disappointing that some areas, such as the pandas, were off-limits but not disclosed when we booked, and volunteers said we didn’t see much of the lemurs because of the construction noise in the next field. That said, the giraffes were great, meerkats lovely and the bear forest walk a great spot to see the shambling brown giants napping in the sun. The site is very pleasant and much kinder to the animals than the old Clifton plot.

Having read some negative reviews we almost didn’t go. People said they didn’t see animals and it was expensive. We decided to take our granddaughters and hope to see a few animals, we took sandwiches and drinks. We got there in time to see lemurs being fed. We saw cheetahs in the field adjacent. Then the giraffes, then the bear walk, which is brilliant. We saw all four bears close to. Saw a wolverine with food, a lynx enjoying the afternoon cool, then wolves, close to although through glass, but -wow. Saw the red river hog, red pandas, hornbills. I think the only thing we didn’t see was the deer. There’s plenty of space, several good playgrounds for children of different ages. We bought two ice creams which cost £6.50, and two cups of tea also for £6.50, which - yes, was quite expensive. A family ticket costs about £65 or £75 with a donation. But all in all, we had a great day out. Oh and access is so easy by car, just off J17, M5.

Visited on a Saturday very very busy place. Shop area is very nice with lots of small businesses and cafes. Cheddar cheese shop to buy diff cheeses and a Scrumpy cideshop were nice. We drove up the gorge as it was raining but a lot of people were walking.

Cheddar Gorge is absolutely stunning – the dramatic limestone cliffs are breathtaking, and the views are incredible. Walking along the trails is an amazing experience, with wild goats roaming freely and the peaceful atmosphere of nature all around. A perfect spot for a day trip, especially at sunrise or sunset

A few days away in Cheddar Gorge. I know you'll say, it's too early.! However staying in the Christmas Cottage is wonderful if you like Christmas. It's a great position for the town centre, great location. Lots of restaurants, shops and coffee stops which is fine for me. Parking could be a problem, although we found it okay. Had a walk up Jacobs Ladder which is next to the cottage. The cottage has three bedrooms. A wonderful kitchen and roof to balcony What can one say, if you are a child at heart you'll love it. So Fantastico Fantastico Fantastico. And a X for Santa. Hope I'm on the Good List.!

The caves are amazing The gift shops and cafe are lovely Parking is an issue understandable because of the location the museum is a bit pointless and small no tour guides just 2 people dressed up taking your tickets

What a natural beauty! Lovely little village with a fantastic natural wonder very close by! If you don't fancy walking, just drive through the George. Plenty of chance to stop for photos

Its a beautiful place but filled with paid car parks. Of course nobody using them as the council is not providing toilet nor small coffee place to refresh. Just wants your money for going to nature and the place has asphalt patches. "Well done whoever thought of it!"

Nice view, even though it isn't the most spectacular gorge I've seen. Some payed and some free parking available. In the evening it fills up with kids doing rounds in their tuned cars and bikes which is quite disruptive to the entire atmosphere. Some great sport climbing here.

The best kitchen garden, they use companion planting and serve the veg in the cafe, delicious! The house is splendid but the volunteers made all the difference! They were so caring, knowledge and the pianist played wonderfully!

Beautiful house & lots of rooms to view. Lovely grounds to sit in as we had a nice sunny day. The volunteering staff were fantastic & there were plenty around to answer any questions & they were very knowledgeable. There is a cafe serving drinks & food & the coffee was very nice & there were plenty of tables & seats. I always take my own food being intolerant to gluten & dairy so I cannot comment on the menu although there was a notice at the till saying "please let the staff know if you have any allergens". Highly recommended & we really enjoyed our visit.

Tyntesfield, a striking Victorian Gothic Revival house near Bristol, offers not only a glimpse into the grandeur of 19th-century family life but also a captivating escape into nature. Beyond its turrets and ornate interiors, the estate boasts sweeping parkland and carefully designed gardens that lend themselves perfectly to a two-hour walk. Visitors can meander through rose-scented terraces, wander the arboretum with its collection of exotic trees, and follow shaded paths that reveal ornamental lakes and hidden viewpoints over the rolling Somerset hills. The route takes in both formal landscaping and wilder woodland, blending history with horticultural beauty, and leaving walkers with a sense of both discovery and tranquillity.

Beautiful National Trust property.There are a lot of lovely rooms to explore.The Chapel is Beautiful. You can take a lovely walk down to the walled garden and green house.The is a play area here for children and very small cafe to get dri ks and snacks.Up at the sister centre there is a much larger cafe serving lunches etc.In the court yard there's tea wagon and a ice cream van

Nice big estate to explore. Good second hand book shop. House is beautifully cared for with a fantastic collection. Could do with more info on the family but are very helpful staff around. Toilets around site as well as cafes, play areas. Big car park.

Beautiful property and lovely gardens. Worth the hype, though it has been given 'the NT Treatment' in that the rooms are not 'exactly' as they were when the NT took it over which was sort of what I was expecting. But don't let that put you off. Plenty for the kids to do in the grounds. Little in the house to interest kids.

A nice house with Gardens. Not far off M5 Motorway it offers walks around Gardens and visit to house. Plenty of parking space and was quite full when we went Bank Holiday Weekend. Bit parched in places due to heatwave but still nice. Some walking needed but transport provided from carpark to house if bit frail. Has couple of cafe's and gift shops. Usual trust prices in shop. I.e pricy. £20 adult entry fee for Gardens and 2 floors of house.

Another place I was sceptical to visit not being sure whether it would be my thing or not but believe me when I say they have something for everyone and you can easily kill a couple of hours here. If you have any older family members it’s well worth taking them for a trip down memory lane. I brought a coach group here and the staff were amazing and made everything so easy. On site cafe with good food at an even better price. I was so impressed with the place I brought my partner along to see it on my day off

Free on site parking. Large on site cafe. A museum with lots of historical domestic, shop and farm memorabilia. Only expected to be there for a couple of hours but as we found it so interesting ended up spending all day there. Highly recommend. Please spread the word about this excellent museum, I think they need a few more visitors to help make it viable to keep it open, it was very quiet on the day we visited.

This is a truly amazing place, especially if you're old, like me. There are collections of all sorts of things ranging from thimbles to tractors, cameras and cars. There is a wealth of history here and it'll take hours to look at all the thousands of exhibits. It also has a very good cafe. My 14 year old granddaughter loved the place too. Be sure to visit it. There are also a collection of grommets etc. See photos.

On holiday in the area and we were told that this was s place that was definitely worth a visit. This place is simply amazing! Not being sure whether it would be my sort of place to see, we were blown away; they have something for everyone and you can easily kill a couple of hours here. The onsite site cafe has good food at an even better price. I was so impressed with the place, that we're making plans to travel back and visit again. Thank you.

What a great place to visit. So much to see for farming, motor or history fans or just for the nostalgia. The cafe was excellent, good food at very reasonable prices, toilet facilities very clean and also disabled friendly with accessible routes. Highly recommend

What an amazing place. So much modern history (20th century) to explore. Told it might take 2-3 hours, after 4 hours of information overload, I will definitely need to return. This will be to look at all the things I missed on this visit. Ideal for older people to look back on our younger days & important history for younger ones to see how their parents/grandparents lived in so many ways. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The cafe was pleasant to. A relaxed and informative visit. Well done to all.

Incredible place and definitely well worth a visit!! This collection must have taken decades to put together and to visit it for £10 entry is a fantastic deal! The cafe is also good value and the food is very good. All staff are very friendly. Looking forward to returning. Thanks

Absolutely amazing!! Would recommend time after time. One of the best zoos I have been too. Normally in zoos you get the feeling that the animals don't have much room, or place to roam and genuinely feel sorry for them but here you have such a feeling of happiness for them, they have so much room to walk around, enrichment to play with and look so happy and healthy! Not only that, the talks and experiences they have whilst there are so lovely, they tell you so much about each animal, show you their way of feeding them, and get to know each animal on a personal level. The play centre for children is lovely too, really inclusive of all ages. The cafe their was amazing! Yes prices are a little more than your average cafe prices but I think its so so worth it. The food was absolutely perfect and is the quality you would find in an upmarket place. Definitely go!

Excellent zoo, first time visiting. We stopped here on the way down to our holiday to Cornwall, to break up a 6.5 hour journey. They have a good selection of animals that look very healthy and have plenty of outdoor space. We managed to see all the animals quite easily (unlike some other well known zoos). A big shout out to Eric who was doing tractor rides for the visitors, my little boy loved it. They had plenty of indoor play areas and big slides that the kids loved. The zoo looks to be slowly growing and have a Tiger enclosure planned very soon. We would definitely visit again in future.

We visited on a weekday so it wasn't super busy, but there was still a fair amount of people. The staff were very pleasant and very knowledgeable. We watched a bird of prey talk and it was really interesting - the birds are clearly well looked after and trained to a very high standard. The maze is a great touch! I love that it has questions to help you through - maybe you might learn some stuff at the same time. Overall, a very good time. There are many play areas for kids, animal feed available, a good mix of animals (I love that as soon as I went to take a photo of the bear, he hid behind a post and then poked his head out) Also there was an epidemic of members losing their membership cards while we were there! I also really love that they have a history wall with highlights dating all the way back to 1999.

We had the best day out at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm! It was a family visit with my 3 year old and 8 year old, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. There are so many animals to see, and my kids were especially fascinated by the elephants - such a rare and special treat in the UK. The monkeys put on a great show for us too!!!Every part of the zoo felt like it deserved its own highlight. The range of activities is amazing: - Fantastic playgrounds for both little and big kids. - A huge maze that kept us all entertained. - And plenty of space to explore and run around. There were lot of seating areas, picnic spots, ice-cream shops and a food area as well. It’s very thoughtfully laid out and very family-friendly. Ample parking spaces - no stress in finding one! An absolutely brilliant day out. We will definitely be coming back!

This is a fantastic place to visit it has lots of different options apart from the brilliant Zoo ,including a food outlets and several different play themed activities for children,including soft play,parks,trampolines. The zoo side the animals have some of the best enclosure I have seen in a zoo,with lots of outdoor areas for them to roam they seem very content. It’s also has several places for a quick pit stop to get refreshments also several toilets . The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the soft play structure it looks like a converted barn it’s brilliant inside with well planned and built amenities but my concern is the roof,it’s asbestos corrugated sheeting (I noticed the animals indoor building has corrugated metal sheeting ) I can’t understand why asbestos has been used. Whilst its use can pose a risk if in any way it breaks down,all materials eventually deteriorates,whilst a small risk ,I really can’t understand its use especially in a children’s environment.

A really great place to visit if you are an animal lover. The farm has a great variety of animals, with more coming soon according to the site. They have different animals, from lions to elephants and a expansive site to walk around. We also had food from here, we ordered 2 pork burritos. They were around £12.50 each which is a little expensive and to be honest, they werent that impressive for taste and we actually left a bit of our food. It was quite bland and the pork was not the best we tasted. The only part that had the best taste was the sauce, which was quite tangy. We know not to order this next time. Even the toasties were around £8 each. Besides the food, the staff were friendly and helpful and we had a great time. We even went on the tractor ride for £2 each and that was a nice little ride. Another disappointing part was the fact that the bird walk enclosure was closed due to guidelines on avian flu, which is not the parks fault, but did take away from the experience slightly. We also found out they run experiences and encounters which for some people will be great, but they do seem very pricey. We saw 2 people in the zoo participating in the Capybara encounter. Which you can talk to a member of staff about the animal and feed them. Unsure of how long it lasts for as website lacks that information and we did not ask at the time, but it costs £50 per person, which is pretty steep when you factor in what you get for it and the cost to enter the zoo. The animal experiences however seem more vast, but do cost considerably more, but for how much more you may be able to do in them, it may be worth it to some people. The giraffe experience for example is £190 for 2 people, which is pretty pricey. All in all it was a great day. Got to feed the animals, got to pet some of the smaller animals they had during the meet and greet and got to explore the zoo. This was our second time here. Would definitely recommend and will return again.

Great day out despite wet weather. We arrived just after 11 and in time for the meerkat feeding which my 1 year old loved. It was a bit of a shame my little one couldn’t go in the soft play due to maintenance but overall seeing the animals made up for it. Great mixture of farm animals eg. goats, highland cows, llama and alpacas and domesticated pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils and rats. Wild animals including birds, white rhinos, elephants and lions etc (just naming a few 😜). There was plenty of benches and a covered picnic area, we brought our own food as thought food online looked a bit pricey. It was very quiet so great for my toddler to see all the animals. The only things I would mention are the food kiosks are unmanned around the park but the food barn and ice cream parlour next door are open, the milkshakes aren’t worth the £5 as it was very small and didn’t taste overly nice. I will also mention that one of the bears kept turning and shaking its head so I don’t know if it was stressed or what. Oh and the bird display was amazing! Overall lovely family day out!

Nice caves but not much geological structures to see. The main attraction of the cave was actually the art trail inside it with a few sculptures to be found and learn more about them. Free parking available on site. Facilities were ok with a cafe and toilets available.

Interesting experience and nice to do on a hot day as the caves are 10c. The sculptures are pleasant but I found the mines and history more engaging. The cafe is nice and had a good selection of drinks and cakes including a few Gluten free cakes.

Brilliant caves and even more special with the sculpture exhibition that’s on this summer. Visited in summer holidays on a wet morning, with two children (ages 8 and 9). We all enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend! It was quite busy, but we hadn’t booked in advance and were allowed in straight away. Free parking, there’s also a cafe on site but we didn’t visit it ourselves.

Always visit the caves whenever we are in the area. Enjoyed the sculpture exhibition - a unique art gallery underground! However, I do feel that this took a lot away from the actual caves/mines and there seemed to be less info about them than I remember previously so I wonder if plaques had been removed or hidden for the exhibition. Still an enjoyable visit.

We enjoy a decent visit to some caves and Clearwell Caves was no exception. The caves themselves are brilliant. A good bit of history to check out at the start of the tour. They also have some exhibitions in the caves which were really good. This was better than I expected

This was the most unique art gallery I have ever been in. I would say it’s a must see, even children 5 and up on my opinion would enjoy it. Most of my explorations were done on my own with no other visitors. It is a little dark with the exhibitions spot lit. If you are claustrophobic you might have a hard time. It took me about 2 hours to explore, you should also wear good shoes here. I enjoyed the museum that talked about ochre and ore mining, and likes that many of the sculptures were metal. I really enjoyed the exhibition and would definitely go again. There is a cafe, and games as well as toilets. There is an outside sitting area with a semi adventure playground. I loved it, but I also loved that here the staff say #sconeAsingone. Nice to meet you Jonathan and Sue!

My third visit here with my family and we were fortunate to be there for the very last day of the modern art exhibition. Such a fascinating place with lots of historical stories and accounts from people who worked these mines. A must visit if you're in this area !

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Had a free day pass for two adults courtesy of the Daily Express. The Castle is set back above the village of Goodrich, surrounded by green fields. Plenty of parking which is charged at £4 for the whole day. Disabled parking is nearer entrance on the level. But if not able to walk from the entrance the disabled can drive their vehicles closer to the Castle. With each entry you get a voice recorder which describes sections of the Castle at certain points. The Castle is very well maintained considering the age. Good views of the surrounding area all around the Castle. Worth a visit, there is also a cafe and gift shop at the entrance.

I used to go as a kid roughly 20 years ago and I found it is still fun to go even today! The area is well protected and preserved. Local cafe anf gift shop with easy access toilets. The castle is stunning! The people were friendly and were ready to help even when we forgot our batteries, they honestly went above and beyond! 5/5 stars in all areas!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Visited recently during a weekday, a nice walk up from the car park with beautiful countryside views. Impressive castle remains overlooking the river. You can pick up an audio guide at the shop / entry point if required. Lots of history as this Norman castle was stormed during the English civil war.

Superb - really great visit to the castle today - loads more to see and explore than we thought! Nice little cafe and gift shop, plenty of parking. Do have yo pay to park and enter prices are typical for English heritage site (pricey) but the site is well worth a visit.

Definitely a good place to visit, especially if you are history nut or have children interested in medieval knights and damsels in distress. From a military power perspective it's certainly impressive and understandable in the landscape. My only grump is that £62 for 4 adults plus parking is pretty steep now. Add in a cafe stop and that's a big day out for most people.

As EH members, we were looking somewhere to visit whilst on holiday and dog friendly. Found Goodrich Castle great place to visit, some great history and some well preserved ruins. Stopped at the cafe for lunch as well, which was excellent and good value. Well worth a visit.

Amazing place, but if you plan on joining English Heritage to get the free entry do it before you go as the setup takes a long time. Apart from that the castle itself is impressive and interesting, beautiful area to get some amazing photos.

I recommend planning your visit during low tide. This allows you to walk right out onto the sands, getting up close to the lighthouse and enjoying uninterrupted views without contending with the notoriously soft mud closer to the esplanade.

Very enigmatic. Park by one of the piers and walk along the beach. Sand is flat when the tide is out. Be warned can be very muddy, so if you have furry friends take a towel and bucket if water 🙂

The Burnham-on-Sea Low Lighthouse, fondly referred to as 'the Lighthouse on Legs', has a rich and dynamic history that has evolved significantly since its construction in 1832 and continues to play an operational role today. Additional information. Visiting is easy as this is on the public beach, the nearest parking would be on Poplar Road ( 51.24464740501554, -3.000507843662151) but this is busy. There is however plenty of parking on the sea front (51.2391062944699, -2.9989930766074693) then there is an easy 1.1 KM walk along the beach. There are lots of facilities on the sea front.

Amazing sunsets can be seen here whether tide in or out. Stunningly beautiful ones. So peacefully & I only live a 5min walk from front door to sardines.

A lovely walk with the dog from the promenade to the lighthouse. Perfect swimming under the lighthouse for dogs too!

Beautiful sandy beach and fabulous historic lighthouse - well worth a visit - unspoilt and quiet in the autumn and winter

A great beach. Definitely ideal for walking across (especially as the weather treated us so well). Overall not too busy, generally very clean and with nice, smooth sand. Recommend visiting.

Would have been lovely in its heyday but now a bit run down. Lots to see over a 3 hour visit. Soft play area. Play fort and trampolines. Various animals to feed and set times to handle reptiles. Friendly staff. Better to visit on dry sunny days, take a picnic. Racoon looking old and lonely but well looked after. Foxes have large outdoor area. Prices on par with most adventure parks, a bit expensive. All theme park rides out of action and have been for a while. Quite a few empty enclosures.

Needed a bit of an update , particularly on entering. A lot of empty enclosures and broken rides/areas... however as you get further in the animal part (farm) is quite nice. But you are already on a downer as you walk in. The soft play was great and the little cafe part too.

Lovely staff and good variety of animals! Yes it needs updating as its been left to run down a little but taking into account the animals, soft play and cafe, walk through wallaby enclosure, animal meets and trampolines, I think its worth it. With some more money put into it, it has huge potential! Staff are keen to do the work to and get things upgraded so will be back again for sure!

I used to come to this farm regularly as a child and hadn’t been back for over 20 years since moving away. The farm has grown a lot with more animals and activities, but still has the same charm. The staff were all fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the animals. The enclosures are spacious and well thought out, and it was inspiring to hear about the rescue work of the charity. A special mention goes to Lucy, one of the keepers we met during our visit. Hearing about her hands-on rescue efforts, including personally helping to bring in the chinchillas was truly heartwarming. This farm is perfect for all ages (even those without children) and a must-visit for animal lovers!

Really aimed at younger children, but who doesn't like stroking bunnies and guinea pigs 😊 Staff are lovely and friendly, plenty of places for your picnic. Sat nav couldn't find it but our phones took us straight there, plenty of free parking. Recommend a visit

Thank you so much to the lovely staff who were on site on the 15th. Your warmth and professionalism made this a memorable and excellent day out. I highly recommend this park to everyone!

We went on a Sunday. I was scared we won't be able to get in as I didn't purchase our tickets online in advance. I was surprised to see the empty car park on arrival. Tickets are way too pricey for the offering. As soon as you enter you will see how bad is the park Condition. Toilets are clean, staff is lovely. They have a small buffet in the soft play. Children had fun but it is not worth the money.

We were in a Friday, no waiting queue to go in, definitely buy tickets online its cheaper. It's a good fun for few hours, but not enough rides to keep you busy for entire day. In two hours you can finnish all the rides. Good variety of food and drinks and surprisingly clean all around. I will comeback here.

It claims to be biggest free entry theme park in the UK and they are not wrong. Reasonable ticket prices, and many varieties of fun rides for kids of all ages and adults. You can buy 1 day, 3 days or annual pass or top up the credits and use them to take selective rides you like. Buy online in advance to make big savings. If you are fond of rides, buying a day pass definitely worth it. Toilets are available and plenty of food stalls. Rides are also thrilling and joyful. They are also open for longer times on selective days, check their website for their schedules.

Brean Leisure Theme park I was so pleasantly surprised by this park.Plenty to do for all ages.You can buy tokens or wristbands.We got unlimited bands and had a blast.We found the park to be extremely clean,completely friendly and not overly croweded.Staff are friendly and plenty of food options Rides,arcades,Trampolines and funfair games. Sweet Treats Brean takes the cake...Literally.Sweets,stuffed cookies,choco strawbs,crepes and doughnuts.You would be silly not to stop in and say hello to the Amazing team of ladies that make the sweet shop even Sweeter.My cookies were delicious,mainly the orea and dubai style🤤 Thank you Brean for a lovely day. 10/10 park.i highly recommend others to visit and I'd defo return in future

Great place to take the kids, you can spend a couple of hours or all day here. Lots of rides for all ages. Kids over 1.2m can access all rides and the staff do check the childrens height. Lots of fun to be had. Dogs are allowed on site on leads. There's are water bowls dotted around the park. Wrist bands are cheaper if you buy online.

Always a good time here. Average prices by today's standards. Visited again recently. Unfortunately the opening hours were very limited, shame considering it's June, and a few of the bigger rides were out of order. Still, the wristbands were cheap enough, so made the most of what was available! Good for little ones!

Great amusement park with plenty of rides to choose I thought ice cream and drinks food weren’t over priced at all

I go here at least 2 a year and never have any issues, wend on Saturday for the fireworks it says on there website you can get the wristbands from 2pm got told some story about them closing for 30 mins so go to the other queue which I did not understand a word he was on about then got told after waiting 39 mins no you can only get them after 3pm when it was 2.45pm the staff was so unfull which I never had at Brean before and service so I just say to my kids sod the fireworks and Brean and went the the arcade on the main road where the staff was a lot more friendly and wanted to be there unlike Brean Theme park, I will not be back for some time now

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nicely done with projecting figures in the baths, recordings and informative signs, videos and models. Children and adults can learn a lot about the Romans. The amphitheatre and baracks are 5-10 minutes walk away. Unfortunately we missed the museum as we came too late.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This time of year (winter, early spring) its quiet, so better now to have a look around and take some pictures. Would be a great place for a duel. Summer time it's a great place to relax on the grass upon a piece of roman history.

Caerleon is a delight and fortunately on the day we visited there was a wonderful volunteer who painted amazing pictures in your mind about what was going on here. Its free to entry and is quite stunning and suprising to see this still standing.

The amphitheatre is pretty cool, it's outdoors and free to go, so worth stopping by. It's certainly a lot quieter now than it would have been when there were games on there 🤣 Even on a dry day the ground can be a little uneven and slidy, so take care when walking down the slopes etc

Great outdoor spot. Very well kept! It would be great to see more illustrations around the place to bring this it to life.

The Caerleon Amphitheatre is an incredible piece of history, built around AD 90 as part of the Roman fortress of Isca Augusta, home to the Second Augustan Legion. Once able to seat around 6,000 people, it hosted military training, gladiatorial games, and public gatherings nearly 2,000 years ago. For us, visiting on a sunny day was a real pleasure. Sitting together on the “terraces” with our eyes closed, we could almost feel the atmosphere of this place as it might have been two millennia ago — the sound of the crowd, the clash of weapons, and the energy of the arena coming to life in our imagination.

Great place to visit with the kids. Public toilet close by, easy to park. You can just wonder in and you don't need to pay. There is a small museum just up the road, and you can also pay and visit the Roman Bath house. Just opposite the amphitheatre you can visit the remains of some of the old buildings, follow the long stretch of grass opposite and turn right at the bottom. We visited during an event where they put on circus skills and had Romans and Gladiators there. On a normal day you just see the ruins which is a nice picnic spot the kids can climb over the amphitheatre.

We visited the amphitheatre & the barracks. Signage definitely needs to be put in place to find it & to better explain what you can see. Would have enhanced our visit. Free to visit, but pay to park traffic wardens about daily so find a proper parking bay/place or pay a £25 fine. Roman museum free to enter & really worth a visit for lots of info & loads of Roman artifacts.

Perhaps this is a tad unfair but I was only allowed into the front of the Centre, or was it the centre of the front? All doors to where the punters sit to watch performances were locked. I asked a member of staff if I could have a look but he refused. I joked that what I'd seen so far was so good it could've been built in England. Lead balloon time. Lighten up little Welsh man, okay, you weren't amused but a deafening silence would've been better than the response you gave. Coming over the border? Don't. We'll sing you away. Keep a welcome in the hillside, keep a welcome in the Vales, I may be back one day.

I got there early with my sister, staff great directed to the relevant place. We were able to get a drink and have a sit down for a bit. Been there for cabaret and the other shows there brilliant highly recommend. Only downside is if you drive everyone tries to get out straight away and they tend to get stuck in the parking part across the street

**The Wales Millennium Centre: A World-Class Cultural Destination** The Wales Millennium Centre stands as one of Cardiff's most impressive architectural achievements, and after experiencing "The Book of Mormon" there, I can confidently say it lives up to its reputation as a premier cultural venue. The building itself is breathtaking from the moment you approach. The distinctive design creates an immediate sense of anticipation, and the location in Cardiff Bay couldn't be more perfect. The waterfront setting adds to the overall experience, making a visit feel like a special occasion. What truly sets this venue apart is the theatre itself. The comfort level is exceptional - genuinely the most comfortable live theatre experience I've encountered. The seating is thoughtfully designed, allowing you to focus entirely on the performance without any distractions from cramped conditions or poor sightlines. The technical aspects are flawless. Both the acoustics and visibility are outstanding, ensuring every seat in the house offers an excellent experience. During "The Book of Mormon," every word was crystal clear and every visual detail was perfectly visible, which is exactly what you want from a musical production. Even the gift shop deserves recognition. Rather than the typical tourist fare, they offer unique and lovely items that feel special. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. The Wales Millennium Centre delivers on every level - from its stunning architecture and prime location to its superior comfort and technical excellence. It's a venue that enhances any performance, making it a true cultural jewel in Cardiff Bay. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-tier theatre experience.

We’ve come here many times. A wide range of theatrical productions, ballets and musicals are on offer. Tickets are affordable, particularly for young people. Drinks and snacks aren’t too bad either. Good parking facilities nearby. Spectacular setting in the bay. We had a great time seeing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

Ten theater was absolutely stunning! I mentioned how much of an art work the theater was to a staff member and they were kind enough to give me a brief history on it. The auditorium is massive and I did hear someone mentioned how they were far away but that they felt as if they were close.

We've been to this venue a number of times over the years, but I've been remiss in leaving a review. Having visited the centre to see Warhorse yesterday, itself a stunningly ambitious and superbly crafted and choreographed show, it's just worth mentioning that the Wales Millennium Centre is a fabulous and beautiful building - inside and out - and the auditorium is incredible with fantastic views and audio and lighting. Just a delight to visit.

Visited recently to see War Horse. The show was fantastic, seats comfy and venue excellent. Friendly staff and service and we loved the shop called Armadillo inside the centre. What a super shop selling loads of fab, unusually and quirky items. loved it ❤️

Cardiff Bay is an absolute gem! With its scenic waterfront, bustling cafes, and the stunning Wales Millennium Centre, it’s th perfect place for a relaxed day out

Nice restaurants & great views. Parking not always easy. Play areas for children.

Plenty of places to eat and a few gift shops to browse in too. Great to walk around the barrage to Penarth Head, and view the bay from another perspective.

Nice place to visit if near Cardiff, Wales. Things to do and see. Plenty of food places to explore and try out. There was boats ride available around the bay. (Need to check times and dates, for when available). There a few hotels nearby and parking available.

It’s a nice place to visit in Cardiff. Amazing view. A lot of restaurants and shops around. Mermaid car park at walking distance. Would recommend to take a walk if you happen to come Cardiff.

Really has come on and improved. The bay is now fully open and vibrant. The ghost development of past has come of age. Really pleasant on a hot sunny day. Enjoy a reasonably price boat trip out if the weather is fine

A cornucopia of arts, sports, business, maritime and political history with delightful retail outlets and eateries/bars/pubs/ restaurants to suit every taste!

What an experience! Two very contrasting parts - natural history and art. The museum is completely free and, very kindly stored my suitcase whilst visiting. Several staff members engaged to discuss the exhibits - I found out that T Rex hunted in packs AND made a noise akin to a turkey, not a roar! A great way to spend the afternoon (especially if you're a kid).

Reminded me of the Natural History Museum in London. The section on Welsh geology is incredibly (too?) detailed. The cafe had no vegan food. The building is very grand. In summary, an old school museum.

This museum was free. If you like Art and History you should visit, it's beautiful, huge, and they even have toys in some rooms to keep the children busy. There's donation station to help towards the museum.

5th August 2025 This was my first visit to the Cardiff Museum, I took my Canadian cousin's family. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The layout was simple and easy to follow, every exhibit was marked with a brief description & history. What I loved most of all was how child friendly Cardiff Museum is. There were a number of stools for children to sit down, view and take notes if they preferred. In some displays there were artifacts like hats, caps, puzzles, etc that the children could use and have fun. A really good place to visit and it's free to enter.

I had an unbelievable experience at the National Museum of Wales. Words don’t do justice—this is simply a place you must visit! The museum beautifully captures Welsh history, culture, and art. From the fascinating natural history displays and archaeological treasures to the world-class collection of Impressionist paintings, every section is filled with stories worth exploring. I especially enjoyed seeing highlights from Wales’ industrial past and the stunning art galleries featuring works by Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh. Pros: Free entry (a huge plus!) Wide variety of exhibits (art, history, natural sciences) Great for families and all ages. Rich insight into Welsh heritage and culture. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in Wales, don’t miss it—it’s more than just a museum, it’s a journey through time.

A nice location for you to visit with art and ceramics, natural history and so on. You will see the oldest elephant 🐘 skeleton and many good knowledge for Roman culture. Better for a weekend break if you see outside is rainy and need clean free toilets. Sometimes, they play good violin 🎻 and great classical music group🎶. Last time, I heard the Harry Potter song there 👌

I visited the National Museum Cardiff on Thursday and had an amazing experience. The staff were incredibly helpful, and I joined a family painting activity which was brilliant. The atmosphere was inspiring, and the museum is very family- and child-friendly, with something for everyone to enjoy. A perfect place to visit in the summer – highly recommended for families and anyone in 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.

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.

These photos are from U12 row 33 (the very back row of the upper tier) and there was a great view of the stage for Oasis in July 2025. Events at the stadium are always well-organised. Obviously there are bar and toilet queues at busy times as you'd expect, but they move fast. Weirdly the person serving behind the bar was 17 (turning 18 at midnight) and she was able to make the drinks but not sell the drinks which caused a delay... but happy birthday to her! Exiting the stadium after an event is surprisingly fast.

My 1st visit to the stadium I wish it had been for rugby union match but next time. This time it was for a concert Catfish and the bottle men getting to stadium easy to find. Well signed for all entrances, the staff were brilliant.(I can't remember the staff members who helped me and then my wife re-enter after I lost my phone and amazingly a bloke and his partner found it answered the call and since we left after Travis played and there was thousands of people inside and the tickets were on my phone the staff allowed us back and retrieve it THANK YOU ) the stadium is easy to get around lots of facilities for all the bar only took card no cash but staff were super polite and friendly the stadium is amazing and can't wait to go back to watch the rugby

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

A fantastic stadium to watch both sport events and music events! Comfortable seats for stadium seats! Sensibly priced seats! Lots of drinks and food on offer to buy, minimal queues when support acts were starting.

I was here for the Lana Del Rey concert. I'm originally from Germany. The stadium is really beautiful. I felt very safe at all times. There were friendly staff everywhere who helped you. It took about 30 minutes to get into the stadium, which I think is a reasonable time. Especially when you consider all the crowds. In the stadium itself, you have the opportunity to buy drinks and food in many different places. The queues there were absolutely reasonable. I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes. There were plenty of toilets and the staff pointed out where there were no queues. Overall, it was a great experience for me. I would definitely come to Cardiff again for a concert. Generally people of Cardiff were very sweet and warm-hearted. A big thank you and compliments to all the security staff and employees, especially at gate 5, M19 🫶🏻

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.

Really beautiful example of an 17th century Tithe Barn that has been restored sympathetically using the original traditional methods. The lime mortar on the exterior is really well done with the additional white lime wash to finish it off. If you're interested in history or architecture it's well worth a look!

Lovely place for a quiet coffee and something to eat. A little off the beaten track but worth finding and supporting. Very easy recommend.

It's a beauty of a place - food/volunteers & overall ambience is lovely. Lots of community help & classes. Highly recommend. Mary Teear

A timid welcome followed by the most generous and best fruit cake I tasted in years

Visited today, and took part in an activity turning pipecleaners into flowers. The tutor was very helpful with us novices, and the local ladies we sat with were a joy to be with. We spent a lovely time with them, some of them novices to, and came away clutching the flowers we made. Everyone we met made us very welcome. Thank you Abergavenny.

It was the lady in the museum who suggested we visit the tithe barn . Thankyou ! ! What a beautiful space with a millennium tapestry upstairs and a lovely 😍 👌 resident artist downstairs.we spent ages here and also visited the church next door to see the Jesse tree carving. Don't miss this as the Tate Modern consider it one of the most important medieval works to survive in the UK .

Excellent visitor attraction, with a small but interesting exhibition and knowledgable volunteers to tell visitors about the stunning millenium embroidery. Downstairs there is an artist in residence and cards / prints for sale. Well worth a visit.

A lovely free to visit dog/family friendly attraction this ruins/museum is. Fairly near to the town centre and parking is available a 5 minutes walk from the centre. The attraction is a lovely area to walk around and take a few photos and let the kids go! A lovely historic 11th century ruined castle and exceptional museum.... Worth 30 minutes of anyone's time. Visited 24th October 2025

Nice museum with changing exhibitions. Interesting ruins. Free entry. Very friendly staff. Toilets on site.

Really lovely hidden gem. Visited on Sunday lunchtime, barely anyone there. Free admission. If you are in the area, definitely worth a visit. Museum have a gift shop, varied exhibitions. It's not big so you can see everything in 30min or so

An amazing preservation of this historic site with many sign posts of the importance and heritage of the Castle and the City. The staff are very friendly and the museum hosts impressive displays. It is free to visit with car parks close. There is no access to the museum if you are not ambulant, but the grounds are easy to get around.

Lovely little Museum, busy today but not overcrowded, nice to see families enjoying picnics in the well kept grounds

Absolutely outstanding great Castle museum visit staff very helpful and friendly

Actually the museum is closed on a Monday but the castle grounds are very nice

Fantastic lunch spot, delicious ploughman's and local apple juice. Helpful and attentive staff, thanks for such a lovely afternoon

This place is well worth a visit...plenty of seating in the rustic barn style upper room. Although it's not table service the food is good, best cheese scone I've had in a long while. Staff are friendly and welcoming and food is delivered to the table after ordering. The cheese selection is great if your looking for something to take home and you can try the selection before buying. Revisited again recently and found same as always, excellent ploughman's and good service Road closure due to works on A44 seems to have affected business, but they are open as usual. Make the effort, well worth it.

Had a wonderful lunch here today. The soup was amazing and my husband enjoyed a cheese platter, which was made gluten free with no hassle at all. Looking forward to trying the local cider we bought in the shop later. Decore is charming too. Will definitely go to again when next in the area. Thank you for the warm welcome!

A coincident find of a gem in our travels. Can buy vegetarian cheese here. Delicious hot chocolate. Clean toilets, too

A very enjoyable tour and talk about cheesemaking. Made even better with a lovely cafe for lunch, where you can Sample the cheese!

I've missed the opening times, or just missed the turning way too many times! Finally got my act together and O. M. G! The cheeses are out of this world! Now it's programmed into the sat-nav, no excuses, I'll be back! 👌💖

Went back to the Monkland Cheesemaking Café & Farm Shop. We had ad a magnificent Blue Cheese Ploughman’s and a fantastic Ham & Chutney roll. Bought more cheese than is healthy and washed it all down with 2 amazing Cappuccinos. The staff were super helpful and know their cheeses and are happy to let you sample. It really is a destination shop… give it a look.

Well done yet again NT, today was a joy. If you enjoy your walking, you'll love Croft Castle and Parkland. Fantastic scenery, undulating walks through woods, forests, pastures and around lakes. All clearly marked, some easy, some quite testing but rewarding. Staff at the whole site were brilliant as always. The Castle (house) is lovely and very interesting, the walled garden with glasshouse is one of the best we've been in. Greatly recommended.

Really enjoyed our second visit to Croft Castle, managed to do another of the walks. The views from the Iron Age hillfort are stunning, especially with all the Autumn colours on the trees. Will be returning as we really enjoy the walks with all the ancient trees. Love the mistletoe in the orchard this time of year too.

Except for a 200-year period between 1746 to 1923, the Croft family has lived on site since 1085. The building has evolved over the centuries to what it is now, with the family still occupying apartments on the second story. The adjacent St. Michael’s Church dates to the 1400s and contains the tombs of some early Crofts. Family portraits and framed photos enhance reinforce the image of the house as a family home. There’s ample parking, tea room and bookshop to round out your visit.

Ancient tree walk is well worth it. A sparrowhark was visiting the roof trusses in the unusual church. Walled garden was no longer in full flower but the old apple trees were displaying all their fruits in amazing variety.

We had a lovely day here following some of the walks, while appreciating the beautiful big trees and ghost trees. The house is nice, the cafe does delicious food and the staff are very friendly. We hope to return one day.

Nice walk around the castle, gardens and Croft Wood. Tickets are a bit pricey but not too bad. I would prefer to coming in spring for next time though

Croft Castle and parkland is beyond gorgeous in every season! Such great walks, lovely food in the cafe and the staff are always jolly and welcoming. Absolutely loved the Ghost Trees walk, and the story of what the skeleton trees offer to the natural environment has honestly changed the way I think about the world. Thank you NT!

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.

Very special place in the middle of a long beautiful walking route. I wanted to stay in the hotel but think it may have not bothered to open because 1st week of April so cold. Website didn’t say it was shut. Best to go when it is open because the lovely caller cafe gets people gathered on the lawn. It is desolate without people

We didn't stay but a great place to stop for a drink and refreshment! It's a shame that they don't allow dogs, but really well located. There's a free car park and an public loo, so good for any intrepid explorers start/finish. Really nice welcoming staff and lots of walks in the local area!

We only went for the priory, which is well worth the trip to see it . We were amazed to see the adjoining farm offered b&b , pub with food & I presume they operate the camp site next door. Will be sure to return

I didn’t stay here but stopped for a drink on the end of a camping trip. Beautiful old place, very well maintained with a free car park on the east side of Brecon Beacons

Fancy a pint in the cellar of an abandoned monastery, this is the pace for you? Wander the ruins with a whiskey? Atmospheric, great food, friendly staff and a good selection of drinks. Awesome location.

Stopped by the cellar pub for a beer while walking through the area. It's a beautiful location in the valley with the hotel built into the ruins of the Priory.

I don’t normally do many reviews but I thought this place deserve one. We went a few evenings during our holidays and I have to say we were really impressed with the quality of the food and service; delicious homemade warm food after a long day walking; friendly and welcoming staff and reasonable prices. On top of that the location was simply perfect- the views, sunset was something else. I would definitely recommend and we will be back!!

Visited the pub with a large group, beautiful quirky pub under the hotel. We visited before our walk for a quick pint/coffee and finishing pint and meal after. Great selection of Meals, snacks(beautiful Welsh cakes) and the best cider! Staff super friendly, we had a great chat with Gareth. Our group of 8 were well accommodated.

This was a gorgeous location in a place where we stopped to walk around for a view and to park a vehicle as we were walking the top ridge of the mountains to the other side. This would have been a fabulous photo opportunity and a nice place for a casual stroll, but they do not allow dogs. There are signs telling you no dogs, no picnics, no unattended children. There must have been 15 unattended children running around and yelling in the area but our dogs were not allowed. I must say, our dogs are much better behaved than those children 🙂 We might have liked to stop and purchase something to eat or drink but when you are walking all day with three dogs, this opportunity was not provided.

Excellent afternoon. The marshals were absolutely “on the ball” for players safety. Our game leader was Matt. Matt was excellent…incredibly patient, professional, informative, took no “nonsense” and made sure all players had a great time. Definitely recommend for all. 5*

We had a great time playing outdoor laser tag. We played a variety of games on different maps and our marshal Rich was great. Will definitely be going back.

Thank you for a great day !!! We came as a group from the nhs with both staff and patients!! What a day, thank you for being so kind and helping us from booking to allowing us to film on site - it is hugely appreciated !! When we were back in the car park everyone was asking to come back and we are looking to book in the summer. Callie was a lovely add on as everyone loves dogs and she is extremely well behaved. Thanks again!!

Great day with two groups who worked really well together supported by a knowledgeable, friendly team of Marshalls who gave clear instructions and were great hosts. Highly recommended

Great family day out.

Great day out for my mates stag do. Matt was great fun throughout the day. Thank you for a fun day out

What a great day we all had. The guys at Taskforce were fantastic couldn’t do enough for us. We were a group of 22 age from 8-55 I’d definitely recommend to all.
