From the moment we met the gate guard til the moment we left the staff treated us warmly and looked after us superbly. The tour started at the Hall by the Orchard Restaurant and from this point no photos allowed ( apart from the courtyard) The day was sunny and warm and we were given detailed facts about the eclectic mix of plants, pots and follies throughout the garden. The ethos of the king was comprehensively conveyed that the garden is entirely organic and sustainable. It was April 17th so all the daffodils had gone but azaleas, cowslips and fritillary were in abundance. The topiary is stunning, the sound of birds can be heard and water fountains dotted around add to the ambience. The stumpery was the most interesting for me that day as the azalea/ hydrangea walk was not in flower. I thought we would see more of the garden than we did but there was no wandering allowed as armed police are watching your every move. You are allowed to see the iconic thyme / yew hedge pathway that frames the house but not allowed down it. 75mins went by very quickly but it was enjoyable. I was looking forward to a pot of tea and a scone in the Orchard tea room but the price of this was £12.50. Although the tea is a reasonable £3.50 per pot I was shocked by the price of a slice of cake for £9 ! The waitress however was very attentive and we enjoyed a pot of tea only. As the ticket was £32 each for the tour we thought this was a tad overpriced. I have seen reviews from 2 years ago that cakes were individually priced at £3.95 and this would have rounded off the visit nicely. Please bring this back. The shop is smaller than expected but beautiful Highgrove produce was available to buy. All in all a good visit but I’d recommend coming in early August as the wild flower meadow may be in full bloom and this year maybe spectacular. If you are being dropped off as we were, note to the driver to drive all the way to the carpark although the signs indicate otherwise.

WOW, what a wonderful place to visit, beautiful gardens, fantastic tour and the staff have amazing knowledge about the different plants and how King Charles developed the gardens over the many years he's lived there. Must go back again, we were so lucky to visit on such a sunny hot day, would love to see it at a different time of the year.

Wow! What a wonderful afternoon being shown around the gardens. The grounds are absolutely awesome with so much thought gone into every aspect. So much to see and take in at every turn. Rounded off with a lovely slice of cake and pot of tea in the restaurant. All the employees clearly love working there from the chaps who greet you on the drive, and the very knowledgeable guide to the catering guys... all very enthusiastic about what they do. I will go back again for sure to see everything in a different season.

Beautiful, artistic and peaceful gardens. Magical!! We were able to visit King Charles III Private Residence and Gardens courtesy of Burberry. We were guests of Burberry, who made this tour and day visit happen. Thank you to Burberry and Highgrove Gardens. Thank you as well to His Majesty King Charles III for providing this opportunity to visit his private gardens at his residence. His creativity and passion he continues to create at Highgrove is inspiring and beautiful.

Need to book tickets for the guided garden tour well in advance. Tours are limited to 20 people at a time. Our guide was very interesting and the various small garden's are all very different. Our tour lasted 90 minutes then we had a lovely lunch in the restaurant. Strictly no photos in the garden which is understandable. Everything was just perfect.

Beautiful gardens and a privilege to share our King & Queen's private space briefly. Excellent tour guide.

Although not well sign-posted, be aware, extremely courteous and friendly staff, tour led by the lovely Michelle who was full of interesting anecdotes and information. Fabulous experience!

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

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

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

Fabulous experience walking around Westonbirt. We took Teddy and be aware you're not allowed to take dogs into the Old part of the Arboretum so had to leave him in the car for that bit. It's one of the most impressive areas so it's a must visit. Giant redwoods and amazing colours despite the iffy weather.

Beautiful trees manicured to perfection, one thing i would say though is there wasnt much in the way of wildlife, no squirrels not many birds found a few mushrooms but other than sheep and horses jist the occasional robin, of course not the fault of the arboretum but a little concerning! We arrived at 9am when they open and the place was relatively quiet really amazing autumn colours 😍 loved seeing all the perfect trees the beeches and norwegian spruce were a personal favourite. Accesible woth food stands cafe and benches signposts and learning resources couldnt say more in favour of the arboretum!!

This has to be the best place to see so many of the worlds loveliest trees form all over our planet. Their maple and Acer trees have to be seen to believe how stunningly beautiful they are, we were totally taken aback my their presence. What a brilliant place to spend several hours in absolute heaven on earth. I think it is a must do, if you are anywhere near it, at any time of the year.

Lovely place to visit, amazing trees and setup. The place can be busy but they're geared up for it, parking was very easy and quick, I'd recommend booking to speed up getting in. You get given a map on entry and are free to wander round, we visited the Acer glade and maple loop for the autumn colours. I guess the only thing I'd think about is bring layers, it was quite cold when we went and there's not much space indoors so you may end up on a bench outside for seating. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

Absolutely amazing day at this little treasure of a railway. Booked a diesel driving experience for our son and was not disappointed. Arrived early and was given a really informative tour by Rob who was really passionate about the railway and that really showed. Then we moved into the driving. The two Adam’s who were teaching were fantastic, our son jumped straight into the cab and was driving within a few minutes. A quick 10 minute run before a short wait before driving the whole length of the track for about 20-30 mins. The Adam’s answered all his questions and gave us lots of information about the train and the route and made us feel really welcome. Doug looked after us in the brake van and explained what was happening every step of the way. It was an amazing day out and well worth it!! Will definitely look at doing again

Had a nice afternoon here. Everyone was very friendly and the trains were running but with a delay to a broken down engine so we joined a returning trip. We arrived on the off chance and managed to get a ticket but I suggest booking online. The journey is a relatively short one and the turn around time at each end of the line was lengthy. A quick stop at the cafe for refreshments was welcome. Great afternoon for the kids to see some trains. It's run by volunteers and the communication left a lot to be desired at times. It you are not in a hurry then hop on board and relive some nostalgia.

We booked a cream tea in First Class from Norchard station. It was very well organised. You had to collect your food and drink from the cafe to take with you on the train. The 3 of us has armchairs right at the front/end of the train. Definitely something I would recommend.

Really cute station. We got off here for a bit of an explore. The river walk we heard about didn’t seem to go anywhere and was a little overgrown but the cafe and the onsite shop are so adorable. The museum as well is quaint and more interesting than I thought it would be for a little free museum. Really nice to spend an hour waiting for the steam train.

We visited the railway at the beginning of this week whilst on a short break to the Forest of Dean. It was a wonderfully nostalgic experience - literally, a journey back in time, surrounded by authentic buildings and ephemera, and run by friendly volunteers who are genuinely passionate about what they do. A great way to spend a few hours!

We had a very pleasant couple of hours on the forest of dean railway. Worth every penny, the staff are great and the engine kept in brilliant condition the drivers are very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions while showing off their pride and joy. The carriages are very comfortable and clean, the stations pretty and well kept but also you get a sense of the history behind it all. Great, thank you

Completely charity run place free parking but please pay the £1 for donation. Lovely friendly staff who really show passion and love. There is a free museum and I highly recommend the train ride and afternoon tea or cream tea. Beautiful walks near every station I plan to go back and do them. I loop forward to booking soon to do a murder mystery night which is highly recommended by staff. A good place to go for a cheap and fun day for the kiddies and adults

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

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

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

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

One of the most beautiful bridges in England. Pulteney Bridge is the kind of place that stops you mid-walk. Lined with quaint little shops and offering postcard-perfect views over the River Avon, it’s stunning from every angle. The Worth It Moment: Standing on the bridge and looking out over the iconic horseshoe-shaped weir — it’s one of those scenes that makes you pause, breathe, and just take it all in. Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — A Bath highlight you’ll want on your camera roll (and probably your wall).

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

It is such a lovely place to visit. The views over the river are beautiful, and the little shops along the bridge make it even more special. It’s a great spot for a walk and some nice photos.

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

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

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

We really enjoyed our visit to Bath Abbey, but the highlight was the Tower Climb Tour, held by two highly professional guides who provided plenty of very interesting information and always made sure everyone was following the way. The climb up the tower wasn't that hard,since it was split into stages. The views from above are outstanding (you get a pretty clear view of The Roman Baths too).

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

Absolutely fantastic and stunning example of medieval and baroque architecture. Jamen and Jackie gave us the tour and it was totally worth the small donation to be able to take an adventurous and inside tour of this amazing structure. Jamin and Jackie were full of insight information about this wonderful Abby. We got to see and hear the enormous bells up in the bell tower and walk along a winding circular staircase to go up on the roof l! It was quite thrilling!

Well worth paying for the Tower Tour if you can manage the climb. Plenty to learn and see. If not, normal entry fee really good and includes museum below the gift shop, so don't miss going there at the end.

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

It's a great experience. The audio guide is very informative. Remember to pay attention to your surroundings, It's crowded and you don't want to be running into people. We did a guided tour, the information was was just different enough to be enjoyable. The staff was amazing.

Looks outstanding from the exterior, great for a 1 - 2hr visit, but plenty of other places to visit in Bath! The Roman Baths history is fascinating, but what is currently in place didn't meet my expectations. Spend time walking the remainder of the City, it's fabulous!!!

I didn’t expect the water to feel so alive. That green shimmer, gently pulsing beneath the surface, anchors The Roman Baths in something deeper than history. Surrounded by columns and arches, I felt like I was entering a ritualistic healing and sacred space. The museum elements are interesting. Inscriptions, artefacts, and the story of Aesculapius, the Roman god of healing, add layers of meaning and depth. Bath Abbey stands beside the Baths like a spiritual counterpoint. Gothic fan vaults, stained glass and choral echoes. Together, they form a rare pairing - Roman ritual and Christian reverence, side by side.

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

The Roman Baths are a great historical spot for anyone who loves history. You get an audio guide that explains each part as you go, which makes the visit really interesting. However, some tour groups can be a bit pushy and expect extra space, which isn’t very polite. It’s best to go early to avoid long waits. It is a rich fascinating history and enjoyable!

Summarising before my review: • No queue on entry, got in straight away at the time • Even with lots of visitors, it never felt overcrowded or rushed • People were respectful when taking photos, making it easy to get good shots • Beautiful, authentic architecture that feels like walking through ancient ruins • Informative plaques explaining each area/piece • Worth visiting for both locals and tourists • Costumed staff add to the experience and share extra historical insights • Gift shop had a good mix of interesting items and smaller souvenirs Visited the Roman Baths recently and was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I’m not super in tune with Bath’s history, but I can say it was beautiful, insightful, and really relaxing to see. When I went in, there were quite a few people inside, but luckily the queue was empty so I got straight in. Even though a lot of people were taking photos, it never felt crowded or like anyone was in the way. Everyone seemed respectful and willing to wait their turn, so you never felt rushed when taking your own pictures. The architecture was incredible; everything has clearly been preserved to keep it authentic. At times it honestly felt like walking through underground ruins… which, I guess, maybe I was (😂). I’ll admit I didn’t always know exactly what I was looking at, even with the plaques explaining each piece or location, but that didn’t take away from the experience. It’s definitely worth a visit whether you’re local or just passing through. They also have people dressed in period costumes who you can take photos with, and I’m sure if you ask, they’ll share bits of history you might not have known before. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I’m glad I went, and the gift shop had a nice mix of interesting items and smaller souvenirs to take home.

Definitely a Austen lover's place to visit. Informative and fun... delightful character players who were wonderful! Delightful vintage tearoom ... High teas were amazing! Highlight getting to dress up for photos! Highly recommend

If you're looking for a serious, highly detailed museum experience, this might not be it, but it's not a bad thing. The Jane Austen Centre is an entertaining and whimsical tribute to Jane Austen's life and work, not to be taken too seriously. The entire experience is made special by the staff, who are incredibly invested in their roles. Each of them adopts a name from Austen's novels. Their presentation on Austen is entertaining and full of energy. They make it clear that the goal is fun, not a dry lecture, and they are happy to answer any questions you have about Austen's life, showing a genuine passion for the subject. The interactive elements, like getting to dress up in period costumes and try your hand at writing with a quill, add to the charm. It's a lighthearted and engaging way to step back in time. The small gift shop is also worth a look for unique souvenirs.

We started our trip there - what a way to start. My kids surprised me with a trip for my birthday. The host and staff were amazing - they made the experience real. They dressed the part and their subtle ways of talking was refreshing without being cheesy. Thank you for a lovely day.

We came for the ‘Mr Darcy’s Afternoon Tea’. Glad we called and made a reservation beforehand. The sandwiches, scones, and tea were delicious! The cakes were pretty dry. Nice, quick service and a fun environment. All the staff in the house were kind and happy to chat.

I had so much fun in this little adorable museum. I didn't do any further research about this place before I visited (I only know there is a Jane Austen museum in Bath). That's why I was shocked and impressed when I first saw all their staff dressed beautifully in those special costumes, which made them unreal to me. They are all very welcoming, friendly and charming! There was a lot to experience in the museum, the Austen family history, stuff from or regarding her literature & movies, a short video about Jane which made me emotional, because I noticed that a lot of the background music was from the movie "Becoming Jane" starred by Anne Hathaway and James Mcavoy (one of my favorite movie back in school time). Please stop here and spend sometime for the video clip - it's so lovely. They also offer costumes so you can dress up and take photos (i love that). Do talk to those lovely staff if possible, they shared a lot of stories behind those photos!!

I really wanted to love this place because I came to bath specifically with Jane Austen in mind but it’s small, old, outdated, and it was so hot inside the small room where the tour started. I believe this might be a private business not run by a trust or the city of Bath. For the price, unless you’re a die-hard fan, you can take a picture with her statue outside and explore other parts of the city.

I love the whole Jane Austen experience. From the moment you enter, all your favorite book characters come to live, and greet you. The tour was so much fun, ending the museum experience with a try it on regency outfits! The museum experience was so interactive. After touring the museum, I had tea in the regency tea room. It was fantastic. The staff was really polite and helpful. The tea room is adorable! This whole experience made my day ❤️ Thank you for making my Jane Austen dreams come true!

Although there was lots to do they let far too many people in meaning queue times are extremely long. Granted we went on a bank holiday but from entering the driveway to getting out of the car took nearly an hour. The train took another hour and the boat ride was much the same. This resulted in a rush round to see as much as we could to get value for money. The toilet were very dated and I think for the money you would think it would be kept in top condition. Very few baby changes which was surprising considering it's a family attraction. If they cut admission numbers by half it wouldn't be too bad and probably better value for money but they fact we spent close to £100 I am disappointed. The safari was also over subscribed and very little to see. The staff were friendly enough and prices in shops weren't too bad. The play parks were okay. Feeding the birds was good for the kids but then they charge for that too. Overall I would only recommend on a very quite period and If you can get tickets on a good deal. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't making £4mil profit a year

Wow what an amazing experience !! love how you can get so up close to all the animals in your car, (note it’s possible to turn right before entering the monkey enclosure and risking damage to your car) Once you’ve finished your drive around head back to the main Long Leat house and go on to see other animals on foot near the main house where you can get even closer as there’s no fences or glass to look through you’re in middle their area they live in with them ! “Be brave” and go into the Bat Cave and experience the bats flying around you and get very up close to sloths climbing around above your head ! Don’t miss feeding the birds and having them land on your arm or hand to feed from a small plastic pot with nectar in, these can be purchased from entrance to the birds for £1.50 per pot You won’t believe how close you can get to the koalas ! Make sure you don’t miss taking the boat trip around the lake and get up close to the sea lions and the hippos !

I love it here, I visited alone during weekday. Lots to see and do with places to eat or grab and go with food as well as a sweet shop. I always go around the safari first then I know I can spend the rest of my time taking my time to see everything else. The only thing I had to wait for is the jungle cruise (but I went on twice and the first time I didn't wait at all), it all depends if the boat is out already on the lake or not. Highly recommend, not a cheap day out but worth it in my opinion.

We are koala fans so went to Longleat specifically to see Koala Creek. We absolutely loved it! Such a great facility that is really spacious, beautifully laid out, well maintained, and you really get a sense that the koalas and their friends are well cared for in a space that really values conservation. Most importantly of all, you get to the six koalas super close up while respecting their space and without disturbing them. They tend to be sleeping a few metres up in the various trees and spaces available to them. And they are gorgeous! We were fortunate enough to visit on a Monday during term time, so the whole place was very quiet. We enjoyed seeing all the other animals as well as the safari boat which was good fun. All the staff made a great impression as very welcoming and enthusiastic. All in, highly recommended and even more so when you go off season!

Had a great time, loads to do with the road safari, boat safari and walking around the other animals. Kids enjoyed feeding the sea lions from the boat safari and the koalas were one of the favourite things too. Bat cave also good with a couple sloths inside. Never been so close to meerkats before.

One of my favourite places to visit. I travel here yearly with my family and the experience never grows old! It is a wonderful place with so many options on where to go what to see and what to do you truly can't fault this magical place.

Great day out! It's one of those places that has a little bit of everything. The main event is the drive-through safari, which is a classic for a reason. You're in your own car, driving through these large enclosures, and the animals are just roaming around. We saw lions, tigers, and a bunch of other animals, and it was cool to see them so close. Beyond the safari, there's a lot to do on foot. We did the Jungle Cruise boat ride where you see the gorillas and feed the sea lions, which was a highlight. We also walked through the penguin, meerkat, and giraffe enclosures, which was really fun. There's also a big hedge maze, a train, and a massive play area for kids. It's a full-day trip, easily. We got there early and still didn't manage to see everything. It's not a cheap day out, but considering how much there is to do, I'd say it's good value for money. Definitely a solid choice for a fun day out.

This beautiful castle has insane aura. The moment you pull up in the car park its presence is something that leaves you in awe. Me and my partner came here for the first time and we spent a few hours here just taking it all in, imagining what it would’ve been like to be here in the medieval times. There are information boards located throughout to give you a run of the history which is fascinating. We loved it and highly recommend it.

Definitely worth going if you're into castles. Good price compared to others and a lot of area to roam around. The story is good and building is great to show kids what and who built it. Still standing in some form over 900 years. You can climb the spiral steps to get great views over the river and town. Car park was under £3 for quite a while. Town is busy but interesting. Would go again.

Gorgeous large remains with lots of history to explore. Accessible and free for disabled visitors and carers. There will be parts that are obviously inaccessible. Lovely views too.

An absolutely gorgeous castle experience. Fascinating history of expansion and development. Love how the core original parts still show and were grown around. The old wooden door is remarkable! The view from the riverside balcony above the cellar is something I'll remember. Absolutely recommended. Ample (paid) parking by the entrance but also other parking nearby. Some parts being repaired or renovated early October 2025 but nothing stopping enjoying the majority of this fantastic castle

Chepstow Castle is a fantastic spot to explore. The ruins are well-preserved, with plenty of towers and walls to wander through. We loved the views overlooking the River Wye—it adds a really dramatic touch to the whole experience. There’s lots of history packed into the site, and it never felt too crowded, which made it easy to soak everything in. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

The people of Chepstow wanted a way to attract tourists but were not overly keen on building yet another theme park. They decided to build a castle. The foundations for Chepstow Castle were laid in 1978 and the building was completed by 1985. The castle was constructed using prefabricated blocks manufactured in Germany, they were shipped to Wales and locked together giving the appearance of age by utilising sandblasting to accelerate the process. Unfortunately in the early ninties faults appeared causing some of the prefabricated panels to fail and fall from the structure. The castle owners blamed the German manufacturers however they refused to accept any blame and pointed 👉 the finger at shoddy construction practices by the contractor who assembled their panels. The matter is still being dragged through the courts, no decision has been made as to who is liable. Meanwhile the crumbling debris has been removed and the castle has remained in its dilapidated state for many years. I paid nine quid, the crinkley rate, to enter Chepstow Castle 🏰. Do yourself a favour and walk around the outside for nothing. It looks very much the same from either side of the walls. You get to see crumbliness and save yourself nearly a tenner.

Great castle with lovely views of the river Wye. Lots to explore, and you can do an audio tour or just read the information boards or do both. Still quite a lot of areas to explore, towers, castle walls and rooms. Larger than you initially think on arrival.

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

First visit here very impressive with extensive grounds. They certainly knew how to do it in style those days. Volunteers were very welcoming and informative. Plenty of rooms to visit with information books. Overwhelmed by the portraits so many such a lot to take in. Trees, grounds and temples were magnificent. Refreshments were very good plenty of choice especially near the pub. Combined a trip to Alfred s tower which is very close. Look how small the bricks are. Spent a good full day here

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

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

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

Autumn is such a great time to visit 🍂 The trees had all turned different colours, and the reflection on the lake was absolutely stunning! We enjoyed the walk there, the trail took us about an hour to complete.

Visited on a Saturday, so we knew that the place would be busy and we aimed to arrived not too long after opening time. It turned out that many others had the same strategy as us. Because the grounds are extensive it didn't feel crowded despite the large number of visitors suggested by how full the carparks were. However, we did avoid the hot spots of house and grotto etc and went on a longer loop around the estate. The trees were in full autumnal splendour and, though overcast, the weather stayed dry. It's a lovely place to visit regularly through the seasons, especially if you like 'forest bathing'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fab views, easy to walk across and you can see birds of prey diving and hunting from the end. There is a free museum that tells you all about Brunel and the bridge - we didn’t go but it looked interesting. £1 for cars to cross but free for foot passengers.

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

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

We walked 40 minutes on a rainy day to see the Clifton Bridge and it was well worth it. The views were spectacular and the bridge itself a feat of engineering, fascinating.

Love our visit to the bridge! However, the drive up to the bridge was a tricky one for me. Narrow two way roads with cars parked either side, with lots of sharp u-bends. Once at the destination we were lucky enough to find parking on the street (i felt we were lucky with that space). Parking cost almost £7 via the RingGo app- I’d advise to download this beforehand as we had poor phone signal which made it difficult. Walk to the bridge is short and once there incredibly impressive. The walk across is only open on once side at the moment due to maintenance on the other side- regardless, the view is a great one! Walked back over to then take the short walk up to the observatory tower for a much better view of the bridge (in my opinion). The observatory has a cafe and a cave for another different view of the bridge. Apart from the last 10 min drive up to the bridge and paying for parking, it’s brilliant. Exactly what it says on the tin and a beautiful scenic walk and view. Highly recommend!

Passed through the bridge on the way to Wales. It's a nice piece of history and in good weather offers a nice view along with being able to marvel at the engineering. The area is nice and there are coffee shops close by. If you drive over you have to pay £1

A Timeless Icon of Engineering and Beauty – Clifton Suspension Bridge Clifton Suspension Bridge is more than just a way to cross the Avon Gorge—it’s a breathtaking symbol of Bristol’s heritage and ingenuity. Designed by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge seamlessly blends 19th-century engineering brilliance with stunning natural surroundings. From the moment you approach, the views are simply unforgettable. Whether you’re walking across or gazing from the Clifton Observatory, the panoramic sights of the gorge, River Avon, and surrounding countryside are spectacular at any time of day. Sunset, in particular, casts a golden hue that transforms the entire scene into something magical. The bridge itself is an architectural marvel. Elegant and enduring, it continues to function as a vital crossing while drawing visitors from around the world. There’s also a small Visitor Centre nearby, offering insight into its rich history and the challenges faced during construction. Whether you’re a tourist, photographer, history enthusiast, or just someone looking for a quiet spot to reflect, Clifton Suspension Bridge delivers. It’s not just a bridge—it’s an experience.

A great place to visit. Good price. Fascinating to spend time watching many different breeds. Keeper talks are informative and interesting. They know so much about each individual monkey & their back story. Some real characters there. A pleasant day out. Really enjoyed it. Would go again

Fantastic family day out! The monkeys and apes are so happy and clearly very well cared for. Food and drinks are reasonably priced but you could take your own picnic. Monkey world is even better than we expected.

At first I was a bit reticent coming here as I thought it was a zoo but turned out it’s a rescue centre. I was surprised to see how spacious their space is and how many toys they have. It seems like they take good care of them which is good. The monkeys seemed to be happy too. It was great to see them all! The park is huge and you can spend half a day or more if you take your time.

Well what can I say, this is a great attraction and by visiting you will hear some sad stories about how the apes and monkeys have been treated while at the same time doing good by providing money to keep the monkeys in food and 5* accommodation. The staff are very knowledgeable and answer all your questions, thank god for people like this that have a passion the welfare of all the apes and monkeys in their care. Please go and visit this place is open all year round apart from Christmas Day . Thank you monkey word for what you do.

Excellent. I went with family who watch the show every evening. We all throroughly enjoyed it. It was a lot more walking than we all thought but there was so much to see. We listed to a chimpanzee talk and you can really tell how much all the staff care about the animals they have. All of the enclosures looked clean and tidy but in a natural monkey sort of way! My only moan is that the map is terrible. I could not figure out the map at all. There were other people who struggled to as they asked me for help! Worth the visit. There were lots of play areas for kids and the big one (I think it's called the orangutan park maybe) looked great. Plenty of space for picnics and for little ones to run around. A great day out.

This was our first visit to Monkey World. I used to watch Monkey Life on tv and have always wanted to visit. The place is an amazing sanctuary for primates. We spent most of the day here to try and see all the monkeys and explore the whole place. The monkeys look happy and well looked after. The enclosures were spacious too. Its amazing to see that this is a not for profit organisation and money is directed towards the welfare of the monkeys. They have terribly sad back stories but so glad they have been rescued and are able to live in this safe and harm free environment. Each monkey has a name and there are descriptions of all of them including their personality and traits. There is ample parking, the cafe food is good and there are toilets throughout the site. My friend and i had the best time. We would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful experience ❤️ My daughter is a wheelchair user and although the paths can be a bit steep and rough it was manageable. We booked a private tour for £35 money well spent - Karen was an amazing host and we got lots of inside info which followers of the tv show will appreciate. It was not too busy as I think schools locally had just gone back. Cafe not too expensive and a decent gift shop.

Very Beautiful Cathedral. There was a person who just asked if we are local or not and he started explaining everything about the cathedral and recommended us on where to go first. The only problem was that the part of the facade of the cathedral was covered as they were doing some repair. We bought ticket to visit inside. The structure inside was mind blowing. My ticket is valid for a year so I can go back again and use it to visit the cathedral again. We then had lunch in their restaurant which had a few selections, my carotte soup was nice.

One of really great cathedrals. Great gothic architecture and a very grand spacious building. The guided tour is recommended to learn about the varied stages of the building. Coffee shop and gift shop on site too. We'll worth a visit

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

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

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

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

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

Visited today and was pleasantly surprised with the free street parking nearby, the nice walk around to get to the castle and Cathedral, the lovely people nearby, the clearly cared for and clean and tidy area and town, and lastly the lovely castle, gift shop and surrounding gardens. I personally feel £20 per person was a bit extortionate as theres not a huge lot to see and do, but if you have the money and the time, it’s a fantastic thing to witness. The castle itself is surrounded in a beautiful moat with thriving wildlife, well kept greenery, and beautiful details. The gift shop had a few nice trinkets, the café had a nice selection of food and drinks as well as a good seating area outside. There are free toilets nearby and very wheelchair friendly.

My two children (ages 10 and 13) and I had a fabulous day out here on the Viking and Falconry day in September '25. Lots to see, beautiful gardens and in the heart of the city of Wells itself. We loved it!

Lovely place, really enjoyed and it's well worth a visit. It is cheaper to buy a combined ticket fir the Cathedral and Palace if you are planning to visit both places while you are in Wells. There is a nice cafe, gift shop and good amenities.

Excellent day out at the Bishop's Palace. 14 acres of gardens, plus the chapel, palace itself and ruined abbey. Plenty to do and see and do try to take advantage of an audio tour with informative discussions about all sorts of interesting things found there. You may also be fortunate enough to see the famous swans ringing the bell at the entrance in the hope of being fed! Great day out.

Absolutely beautiful place. Great service, lovely cafe shops around and in. Besides, history and English translation you will find many different ways to spend day around. Recommend

Wonderful wander around the grounds, even if a bird did a poo on wife's trousers, after grounds we went round the palace 😀 Wonderful day September 2025

A great guided tour of the palace then had another one around the gardens. All included in the price of the tickets. The volunteer guide was excellent and very Friendly.

Loved it here. The displays are amazing. The film about some of the veterans is so loving and even my husband was moved to tears by their stories. The entrance ticket lasts for a whole year and we are planning to return again next spring. Excellent day out. We'll be back! Oh and buy your tickets in advance, saves a few pounds.

The Tank Museum is an amazing place to spend time with the family. There’s so much to see — from historic tanks to interactive exhibits — and it’s both educational and entertaining for all ages. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the visit even better. It’s very easy to get to, with plenty of parking available. You’ll definitely want to allow at least three hours to explore everything properly. Highly recommended!

This is an absolutely fantastic museum, even if you aren’t particularly fussed on the military. The history, facts, exhibits and children’s activities are amazing! We visited as a family with an 7 old and a 2 year old and spent around 5 hours here. Tickets are cheaper if you book in advance and you can take your own food and drink in as well. The staff were amazing with our 7 year old who has sensory issues, they pointed out the louder parts of the exhibit and they do offer sensory backpacks for the way round. It doesn’t feel cramped either and there is plenty of space for toddlers to wander around. The exhibits themselves are great, essentially takes you from the first tank ever made through to modern day tanks. A big emphasis on WW2 and it was nice to see that there was exhibits on some of the smaller known battles of the war as well as the more obvious parts such as D-Day. There is a walk around the trenches and a part dedicated to horses in the war, both of which are brilliantly done. There are little activities the whole way round such as bunkers with tunnels, mock ups of houses from the war and dress up areas for kids. Probably the best museum I’ve been to in terms of the exhibits and the value for money. If you are on the fence I would say just go, both kids and adults will love it.

We visited midweek during the October half term school holidays with our 8 year old twins, was worried that with them not being self pronounced armoured fighting vehicle fans, that they may not be entertained for much longer than say 30mins, as last time I visited was a little less than half a century ago! 😳 And it was very bare bones... I needn't have worried the place has grown exponentially, the car park was full, but inside it felt comfortably spacious with loads to do for a very excitable pair of monkeys, who grew more and more interested in what they were seeing. There are loads of looped films explaining the ins and outs of Tank design, Tanks through the ages, Tanks in the movies! You name it there was something for everyone who even has a modicome of interest in the subject. Would highly recommend with over 350 tanks on site of every size and shape and some over a hundred years old! loads to do and see! And a fab gift shop to boot with gifts and toys to suit every pocket! A fab day out had by all, we even saw some real modern tanks driving on the roads outside the museum as its in an active army camp! 5*

You've got to see the tank museum if you are into WWII history. The new ukraine exhibit is very moving and the curators are always so friendly and kind. If you're someone who is overwhelmed easily aurally, look out for the quiet mornings they host where they turn off the audio aids for the exhibits. FYI when school is in it can get very loud with kids running around and screeching all over the place. But it's worth it, not just for the tanks but to see the next generation taking an interest, building models and Lego too. Highly recommended, and on most days you'll see them driving some vehicles around the Kuwait arena. It's a dice toast what they'll be driving that day but it's always something interesting.

The Tank Museum was the highlight of our trip for my husband. When we entered we were greeted nicely and got our tickets there. The staff member explained how to get to the exhibits, she was very friendly. The museum was laid out very well, it was easy to follow. Each tank on display had information on when it was made, reasons for it and how it had been used in history. For someone who is not a tank enthusiast, it was still interesting and I enjoyed myself. We were able to be there when they had the vehicle conservation centre opened (only at certain time of day), located a short walk from the museum entrance. It’s like a giant tank parking lot but they have a map of which tank is where and there was a very helpful staff member my husband was asking questions to. There is a cafe inside as well as a nice souvenir shop with clothes, toys, Lego and more! There are toilets available. I would definitely recommend! My husband’s one critique would be to add more of a walkway over the Tank storage (vehicle conservation centre) so people can see the tanks better. And more copies of the tank layout to look at.

Great day out for the whole family. Great tank kids park outside the front door and some amazing tanks and exhibits throughout the building… staff are great and super helpful, plus you can return anytime on the same ticket for up to a year!

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

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

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

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

Everything included in the price of the ticket apart from a very reasonable £2 so my grandson could pan for gold. We did everything and it was a brilliant experience. Lovely staff everywhere!

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

Absolutely wicked Halloween day at Wookey Hole. Arrived at 10:30 and left st closing time. Sooo much to do. Crazy golf, gold panning, caves, 4D theatre and circus acts in the theatre, mirror maze, penny arcade, paper making, soft play. And its all inclusive. And free parking!!!

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

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.

Very interesting inside the caves. The audio in the larger caves was really useful, even the kids listened to all the facts which they would of never listened to if we were reading off of boards! Lots to do/ see. Plenty of spaces but tight car park & reasonable prices. Lots of food options within the village.

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

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

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

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

Have just returned to the museum after some time to see the aircraft carrier experience. I was not disappointed very informative. Enjoyed going round the other halls it all flows very well. I miss the air displays perhaps one day they may return.

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

Went today (26/10/2025) with the RAC AC and I have to admit, it was very fun, but not much difference and can only go Into 2 things

This mysterious, well endowed hill figure is a famous local landmark. It's worth a look as if you're in the area, but without getting up in air, the best view of it isn't brilliant, at least compared to other hill figures like Westbury White Horse or The Long Man of Wilmington. That said, I can highly recommend a look around the delightful village of Cerne Abbas, where you'll find an impressive church, abbey remains and a curious well. The chalk downland that the giant is carved into makes for a good walk with lovely views.

The best place to view the giant is actually from the village car park. It only costs £1 and has an electric charger. There is also a small wooden playground and picnic tables. I also walked to the giant, but you could see very little of it as it is behind a barbed wire fence. I enjoyed the walks leading to it, and think it is a beautiful little village with interesting buildings and an old Abbey and Well.

Good view of the Giant from the viewpoint parking area. I parked in the main parking area, then walked around Cerne Abbas. Lovely village. Good selection of pubs if you fancy a bite to eat. Then took a walk all up around the hills & valley, well worth it for the views......note that you can't see the Giant when you're at the top, but you can see everything else.

The Cerne Abbas Giant is a colossal chalk figure carved into a hillside near the village of Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England, standing about 180 feet (55 meters) tall and brandishing a large club in his right hand. One of his most striking features is his prominent phallus, which measures approximately 30 feet (9 meters) in length. While long thought to be an ancient fertility symbol, modern archaeological analysis suggests the figure was created sometime between the 7th and 10th centuries AD, placing it in the early medieval period. Despite its likely Saxon origins, the Giant was not mentioned in any known documents until 1694, when it appeared in church records, leaving its true origins and purpose shrouded in mystery.

It gets a star because the car park was free, as for the giant itself, dont go as you will hardly see it as The National Trust who 'look after it' have not re-chalked it.We visited it on 29th August 2025.My wife remarked "Is this it?" Through squinted eyes.Can anyone call The National trust and tell them where it is?

A must see if you are in the area. Nice circular walk or you can drive to the view point where there are a few parking places. At there moment there is an art installation on the slope next to the giant. Very colourful although it was a dull day when we visited.

Worth the visit and walk up the hill. Wild orchids were flowering in early June with plenty of insect life. A lovely walk through many different trails before & after the giants hill. Yes you can't see the giant very well while walking on the hill, that's the way it was made, to be seen from a distance. It is also fenced off to protect it, if every numbskull was allowed to walk over it, erosion would soon take hold and it would start to disappear. Also don't expect the grass to be trimmed every week for your viewing pleasure, Cerne Abbas doesn't receive anywhere near the number of tourists to justify the money it would cost to do this. Take your time here and spend some money in the village to help out the locals.... and don't be ungrateful, rate it 5⭐!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excellent beach, dog’s allowed on west beach only until 30th September, plenty of parking but at £4.80/hr near the sea front a bit expensive, if you are prepared to walk it is cheaper near the swannery car park. Plenty of shop’s, cafe’s, etc. Worth a visit

Lovely area, we attend the motocross annually and always great atmosphere and brilliant stalls with plenty of food options. Shops and easy parking nearby, handy disabled spaces down the seafront.

Weymouth Beach is a beautiful and clean seaside spot with soft pebbles and clear waters. The gentle waves and scenic views make it perfect for a peaceful walk or relaxing by the shore. The promenade nearby adds to the charm with plenty of cafés and ice cream stalls. A lovely place to enjoy the classic English seaside atmosphere!

A beautiful clean beach Its always warm on the sea front Plenty of places to sit or eat. Definitely recommend Weymouth its lovely

One of many amazing beaches on the Dorset coast, not as easy to find a parking space unless you use the car parks either end of the beach or use the park and ride from outside the town. Once there the lovely well looked after beaches are so beautiful and through the summer many families enjoy and use the many amenities for souvenirs and snacks to evening meals with plenty of restaurant choice. It has a all year dog friendly beach either side of main beach and dog friendly everywhere after 30th September. The harbour and Nothe fort walks are amazing too.

I really enjoyed our walk on the beach. Wide open beach, plenty of cafes and restarants, arcades and friendly people all around. We were there in October so I can imagine it is gets very busy in summer But I would recommend going off peak

We went in late october. Drizzling with rain on and off but it is still gorgeous there. Lovely long sandy beach. Dogs are allowed. And just crossed the road to shops and cafe.

Absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were among the best I’ve ever encountered, genuinely attentive and welcoming. Climbing the Lighthouse was a highlight, made even better by a tour guide who knew his stuff inside out. The lady in the gift shop was an absolute gem. And the views? Endless. Just breathtaking.

What a beautiful day. The 🌞 was shining and not a cloud in the sky. No queues for the lighthouse, what more can you ask for. If it was the middle of summer I'd book tickets 🎟️ in advance, but at this time of the year... we didn't.

Very interesting - if you're into that sort of thing. Only take kids if they don't mind climbing up and down the stairs - we had a child that screamed half the way up and had to be almost dragged back down from lantern room.

Portland Bill Lighthouse is a stunning coastal landmark with breathtaking sea views. The striking red-and-white tower looks beautiful against the dramatic cliffs and ocean backdrop. It’s a great spot for photography, peaceful walks, and watching the waves crash along the rocks. The area is well maintained, with a cozy café nearby. A must-visit for anyone exploring the Jurassic Coast — truly iconic and unforgettable!

This was a lovely unplanned visit. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The history of the place is nice to see and there are plenty of posters around to learn about the different type of lights they used. Definitely worth doing if you are able to manges walking 150 steps and a steep ladder.

The scenery was fantastic and it was nice to see the lighthouse again, but the cost of parking has gone crazy to the point I doubt I'd go back. The lobster pot wasn't too busy and the tea & coffee was reasonably priced. I would liked to have had the lighthouse tour, but the times of the type didn't coincide with the time I'd paid for on the carpark, so that didn't happen. A nice afternoon spoiled only by the parking prices.

Really beautiful area to walk around and the lighthouse was fabulous. The tour was informative and the views from the top were great. I highly recommend going and seeing it

Loved it. A small car park nearby was free due to construction. Completed pebble beach. Amazing for pebble collectors. And the sunset here is glorious

I've been coming here all my life, it's still one of the most beautiful places in the UK. The beach itself is beautiful, vast and naturally interesting, the views are stunning and at night time you can see millions of stars here. If you're going to the Abbotsbury part of the beach, good parking (paid parking) with toilet facilities and a little cafe. Feels very safe here both day and night.

Beautiful unique beach if you are prepared to walk on the millions of pebbles 😃 You need strong legs to get near the water from Abbotsbury car park, not ideal for trolleys. Once you are by the water the sensation is indescribable 🤩🤩🤩 If you enjoy fishing 🎣 you will have plenty of competitors 😃 There is a carpark that you can pay on the machine by the the bar or by phone

Want a challenge? Walk this entire Chesil Beach from Fortuneswell (Quibbles cafe)to West Bay (The George Hotel). I did it 6 years ago but soon realized that I hadn't taken in just how tiring the pebbles can be for walking on. I ended that walk at Abbotsbury due to not having enough time. So I have done it again for its entire length this time. Forget running. Walking is more efficient. I believe that you can walk this beach all year, even during the bird season, 01/05 to 31/08 as long as you keep to the side of the sea. A lone walker may still be ok to walk as long as they do not disturb nature. But ask at the Chesil Beach visitor centre first. They will also inform you of any recent events, like landslides or rockfalls that may hamper your progress. I made a mistake of asking tourists who misguided me. Not to worry, it didn't put me off. I just got on with it and was soon back on track. Update: Did it for the last time today, Wednesday 24 September, entirely by beach, using tidal times for optimum beach width. No diversions. See proof of route photo. Some tips for those who fancy this walk. Check tide times. Check seasonal restrictions. Check firing range..MOD. Take a fully charged mobile phone. Take snacks and drinks. Don't rush it. Enjoy it. It's a mammoth task for most. Regular breaks. Start early, around 07:00 but before 09:00. Duration depending on the individual is anywhere between 6 hour 40 mins to 13 hours. But most likely, just 9 hours. There is the option to leave the route at the 10 miles ? Point, Abbotsbury car park. No shame if you do. That's the hardest bit to do for anyone. Start from Fortuneswell end of the beach. Begin there at high tide. By the time you get in range of West Bay the tide will be lower. Lower tide means wider beach. Wider beach means safe distance from cliff collapse. Wider beach near Bridport area means no detour to avoid river run off across the beach by Freshwater caravan site. Further on, still keep a safe distance from the cliffs. Due to low tide, some sections of the beach have exposed , hard sand that can be taken advantage of due to low the tide exposing it. See video of smooth, flat gritty sand.

Have a great time fishing for the first time in Chisel beach, we were lucky to catch some mackerels. Shore is mostly pebbles so make sure to have the right footwear. Nice view of the hill and Isle of Portland from this area as well. Camping is not allowed in this beach. Will surely comeback for more fishes.

Beautiful beach, has a swimming area to both sides, one under the cliffs and the other to the west, we were told to stay clear of cliffs as they fall. Bring rubber shoes as it's rocky and watch out for kids and adults throwing rocks to see if they have fossils on th. Of fossil hunting, bring a hammer. Has a nice little shop that sells fossils and mementos as well as a visitor center, which is free. Slippery rocks during low tide and a lot of small pools for little ones to explore.

Lovely place to go for a stroll along the coastline, especially on a sunny day... we'll worth a stop at the cafe for a bap and a sausage roll to replenish. Lots of folk fishing along the shore and big waves to test your running legs against. Well worth the trip to see Chesil beach!

Had lunch at the Hive Beach Cafe . Absolutely one of the tastiest dishes I’ve eaten in a very long time . I had the mackerel and it was sooooo good. Staff were friendly , personable and the location is great. Definitely recommend and would go back in a heartbeat ( I’m g/ f too so it was an extra treat to have such good food ).

Hive Beach in Dorset is an absolute gem. Nestled along the Jurassic Coast, it offers stunning views with its mix of sandy and shingle beach, backed by dramatic cliffs. It's an ideal spot for nature lovers and fossil hunters, with the South West Coast Path providing beautiful walks along the coastline. It’s also dog-friendly and has good facilities, including parking. While the beach can be a bit steep in places and the cliffs can be unstable, it’s still a fantastic spot for a day out. Whether you’re after a peaceful retreat or an outdoor adventure, Hive Beach delivers both.

Beautiful beach, and very clean. Enjoyable long walks along the sea or on top of cliffs, both directions. Parking and cafes are available nearby.

Favourite place to be in the world. Perfect for families, Perfect for couples with pets. Once you park up you don't necessarily need to touch the car again. Plenty to do, plenty to see. Beautiful walks and scenery. Just Perfect holiday town

We visited this fantastic beach last week. It stretches for miles in both directions and the sea views and cliff faces are breathtaking. A really great place to visit for a long walk, combined with some fossil hunting. There's a very popular cafe and plenty of parking, which is free for NT members. Well worth a visit and much more accessible than nearby West Bay.

Nice beach and cliffs. Amazing view from the top of the cliff.

Serene and soul searching place at the far end of Chesil Beach. Beach itself is shingle so a bit easier to do the paths rather than the Beach unless you are up for some decent exercise.

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

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

Lovely walks and my places to stop for drinks and food

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

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

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

Bridport is a thriving community with always lots going on

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

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

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

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

Friends have recently moved to Somerset and found this gem. They have joined so we got half price entry! There are so many delights to find along the well-kept trails and the formal gardens are absolutely stunning. We were very lucky with the weather as it was a beautiful sunny day. There's not an awful lot to see in the house, but it was obviously grand in it's day. The gardens are most certainly the highlight. Stunning views across the county.

Hestercombe is magical - I can't think of any other way to describe it. The grounds are wonderful - the gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll are stunning at the moment. The air is filled with the scent of Wisteria which has the largest and most prolific blooms that I've ever seen. The woodland Estate is full of Bluebells, cow parsley, wood violets, birds singing and so many shades of fresh green of glorious trees. A place of joy and calm 😍😍

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's nice that an old railway line has been given another purpose. We had a nice ride down Colyton where we had a lovely cream tea at the very pretty station. The only thing for us was that we couldn't stop at the wetland stop as we had our dog. It would be good if there was more info on what to do at each stop, but was good to get a ride on a tram.

Everyone is right - Seaton Tramway lives up to the hype. It’s quirky, it’s cute, it’s ’different’. Enthusiastic staff operate charming old trams on a gorgeously scenic route up to Colyton. There’s something for the whole family here. Get involved.

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

Definitely book in advance for this fantastic hidden gem in Beer. Our tour guide Mike was fantastic telling us the story of how the quarry evolved over time, keeping us and two young children (7/8) fully engaged for the hour and a half (ish) tour. We hadn't planned to stop by, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our holiday

What a fantastic experience! Mike was a fantastic guide, obviously very knowledgeable and funny! Loved the tour, fantastic value for money. A real hidden gem! It is chillier than you'd expect so heed the words of the experts and wrap up warm!

Mike, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable on the history of this quarry. He was friendly, engaging and open to questions. What a great experience we had. Highly recommend this as a stop off in your adventures. The tour took approximately 1.5 hours and was an easy walk although some areas were a bit muddy. Proper shoes should do the trick.

Great visit today. Mike was our guide and gave a fantastic account of the history behind the caves and the methods used to cut and extract the blocks of stone. It was a great experience and fascinating to boot. Thanks Mike 👍🏻

What a find! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Mike today. We literally had no idea the caves were so big, not to mentioned just how important they are, from a social history point of view. Put this place on your things to do, when you are in the area, you will not be disappointed. And thank you to Gill for the delicious hot chocolate drink.

Just enjoyed a fascinating tour of the quarry caves. Excavated by hand since Roman times. Our tour was expertly guided by Henry who was knowledgeable and engaging which enhanced the whole experience. You have the added benefit of Beer village nearby which is beautiful with a range of shops, eating and cafes on the beach. A fantastic day out- thank you.

Really enjoyable visit to Beer Quarry Caves which we stumbled across by accident and luckily found there was a tour starting in 10 minutes of our arrival. I believe that you can book a time. Really informative guide with a very dry sense of humour. Tour takes around an hour and a bit but it went quickly as the history telling was done so well. I am very warm blooded but by the end of the trip I was cold so wear something warm.
