Hampstead Heath is always my first choice of parks in London. Compared with Hyde Park and Regent Park (which also have stunning views and atmosphere) in the downtown area, where it would inevitably be too crowded with tourists, Hampstead Heath has more room for you to relax and engage with wild breezes. I have visited this park many times over almost two years, and every time I visit, it can always present me with something new. Since it’s a really large park and some areas may remain underdeveloped, it’s necessary to bring a suitable amount of water and other supplies to ensure you won’t be disturbed by thirst and battery-life panic. It’s always a good idea to wear hiking boots and be careful with the holes and mud pits.

By far, the best park in London. It’s massive, and the ponds are incredible amenities. Visiting this park during summertime is priceless. The boys pond gets busy but friendly vibe, just bring your picnic and enjoy. You can book in advance or queue to swim. There aren’t lockers but it’s super safe to leave your phone and stuff while you swim.

Hampstead Heath is one of London’s most enchanting green spaces — a sprawling natural haven that feels worlds away from the bustle of the city. Its mix of open meadows, ancient woodlands, and shimmering ponds creates a perfect setting for both adventure and relaxation. Swimming in the Heath’s famous bathing ponds or the outdoor lido is a unique London experience, while the panoramic view from Parliament Hill offers one of the city’s most iconic skylines. Whether you’re hiking through wooded trails or watching the seasons change across its fields, the Heath captures the beauty of untamed nature right in the heart of North London. Beyond its natural charm, Hampstead Heath offers plenty of cultural and leisurely delights. Kenwood House, with its elegant architecture and impressive art collection, adds a touch of history and refinement, while Golders Hill Park’s small zoo provides a family-friendly surprise. The Heath’s open fields are perfect for picnics, casual sports, or simply unwinding under the trees. There’s a laid-back, bohemian energy that attracts artists, runners, and dreamers alike — making it not just a park, but a vibrant reflection of London’s soul.

Hampstead Heath is the best park in London (if you can even call it a park). It’s so big that you can pretty much find a quiet spot for yourself and your dog any time, even on weekends, when it gets a bit busy on the main paths. It’s absolutely gorgeous, especially in autumn. The only green space you’ll ever need.

One of the most gorgeous parks I’ve ever been to. The views are stunning, and from London’s incredible skylines to waves of forest in a few steps, it makes you feel lucky a place like this can exist.

Gorgeous place to visit! The whole area is beautiful and feels really rich. It looks like a little paradise for wealthy people

Parks and water bodies, a serene lake , great view and some spectacular sights & people enjoying walking their 🐶 doggies. The weather was perfect warm and sunny and it.was great to be out on such a day! Parliament Hill took a 30 min walk from Belsize underground station but was totally worth it.

What a beautiful well preserved Victorian pier. Well worth a walk along and to view the lovely art work. We walked on their when the sun began to go down - the sun shone through the art.

The pier is delightful, full of charm & nostalgia. I'm not sure if it mixes into the modern-day equation? Victorians used to " take in the air" in seaside resorts with piers. For me it's beautiful.

Very agreeable place for breakfast, not been later in the day, but the the breakfast set up is good, fast and tasty. Took my parents and sister, friendly staff, cool view out the windows (you're at the end of the pier) and free parking on a Sunday. Nothing super special but worth the trip

We were staying in Worthing for a few days in July and this was walking distance from our house rental. It’s a beautiful pier with restaurants and art decorations. We lucked out that was a beautiful clear day and we had a glimpse of the sunset.

Great fun in the arcade, some good 2p machines and ticket machines. Massive shout out to staff member Lewis, he was brilliant, gave us great advice and help with the ticket gifts.

Nice and clean beach with less crowded than other Beach 🏖️, it got some sand on some part of the beach. We will get lot of free parking spaces, and good restaurants near by. Overall highly recommended for a day our or a weekend relaxation.

Nice sunny day to visit worthing pier . Didn't know you can go fishing off the pier , had lunch at the restaurant at the pier end . Nice food worth a visit

What a great place! And free to visit! Generous displays with cosy feel, great atmosphere, very friendly staff and assortment of planes and other vehicles. I appreciate so much how everything was well designed with the flow of walking around, feels like you didn't miss out and walking back and forth. I really enjoyed seeing more information about people behind, their names and stories, not just machinery. Lots of things to listen and interact with, but unfortunately, so many not working! I guess donations are needed. Shame that 4D theatre was not available, too, but we still took opportunity with Typhoon simulator and our 5 year old enjoyed it very much. Twice 😄 Great outdoor playground for kids, restaurant has an exciting food selection (finally some salads!) and reasonably priced for London. All areas are easily accessible with plenty of toilet facilities around. Museum shop has great selection of items/products. Spent a fortune there! Plenty of parking available.

Fantastic museum! Very well laid out across several buildings, all easily accessible. The planes and other displays are presented perfectly, with the chance to walk between the aircraft, so you definitely get a feel for the scale of them. It is great to follow through from 1st world war era planes right through to more modern day items. The information relating to the items on display is really interesting and well presented, which all adds to the experience. Treat yourself to a visit to this museum....you won't regret it (and the on-site cafe is great as well.....perfect chips and friendly helpful staff 👍).

The scale is breathtaking and you can't help but feel the history given that the museum site was an important base during the Battle of Britain. Each hanger has been set out thoughtfully for maximum effect and there are some additional pay to access experiences. My only gripe is that the interactive experiences were either not working and certainly not intuitive but I can't mark down the museum for this as everything else about it was brilliant. Would recommend that you make a day of it as it's the only way to fully experience what is a brilliant museum.

Amazingly cared for, staff was unbelivably kind and informed, food court tasty and widely ranged, and the visit was incredible as a whole. We paid for the cheapest Spitfire experience and the lovely man who told us everything there was to know about the plane honestly made us wish we had paid for the 40 min experience instead of the short one. We were really happy with this opportunity. The toilets are spotless, which is something difficult to say in any place in London, the hangars were interesting and well-divided. Overall, such a great experience if we are ever in London again we will repeat without a doubt.

This amazing site is free to enter, yes free. Plenty to see and get close to the aircraft that have been central to RAF heroics for 105 years. See the stories of the brave hero's that decided that safety of their country was more important than their own life. If you wish, for a small fee, you can get more details on a tour - thank you James you were amazing. Only thing left to say is - just go!

Excellent museum showing the history of RAF from yesteryear till today. Overwhelming amount of flying, and not flying contraptions to behold. Take your time and reserve at least half a day to properly take in everything. Activities for children can be found and also a pleasant cafe. You can also spend your life savings buying souvenirs…

Oh. wow, you could spend literally days here and not see everything. You do need to get tickets prior to coming but to be honest, I didn't know that so I did it on line and it came through almost immediately and so it didn't impinge on me getting in at all. Certainly if your interested and like to read the entries. I am interested and I spent four hours, which was only scratching the surface. I had tea and cake which was excellent and did something I very rarely do, I bought some items from the shop, a Red Arrows cap for my grandson and an RAF tee-shirt, indulging myself. Considering this exhibition is free I can honestly say it is exceptional value for anyone, including families. The parking is fairly expensive by Yorkshire standards, but probably not by London. As you can read I was bowled over by the amount of exhibits which are grouped into buildings which form a historical timeline from the pre-inception days when it was a gentleman's hobby, into the first world war and the meteoric rise in the speed, manoeuvrability and firepower. Then on to the second world war, Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster and Halifax, to name but a few of the famous names. Then on through the Jet age into the present day, with the RAF's latest fighter/Bombers and missiles. Awesome, absolutely awesome and I will most definitely be back to finish my tour and maybe just go round again because I will most certainly have missed loads.

So much to do for all of the family our age range was 6-11 and there was only 1 ride the 6yr old couldn't go on so if you have thrill seekinging younger ones I would recommend Chessington but also the gruffalo ride and room on a broom we're amazing gentle fun the was perfect for a little (or big) one that doesn't like going too fast. Plenty of photo opportunities to capture the family fun memories

I’ve been visiting Chessington ever since I was a kid, and now I get to bring my own children here! The park has retained much of its charm from when I was younger. My daughters are 8 and 2, and there are plenty of rides and attractions suitable for both of them to enjoy. It’s great to see the park continuing to evolve with exciting additions like the Jumanji area and the upcoming Paw Patrol attraction. However, I do feel that some of the older rides could use a bit more attention — we got stuck on the Gruffalo ride, and the Vampire ride (my very first rollercoaster!) was unfortunately closed. I was really looking forward to sharing that nostalgic experience with my daughter. Overall, Chessington is still a fantastic family day out and a place full of wonderful memories. We’ll definitely be back once the new areas and rides open up!

A very good family theme park. There is a wide variety of attractions, including a good selection of rollercoasters for those wanting rides of the slightly more thrilling type. There are also many younger oriented rides.

Disappointing Experience at Chessington Adventures I spent around 45 minutes stuck in traffic just trying to get into the park, and then another 30 minutes driving around the car park looking for a space. Even though we paid full price for our tickets, we were only able to go on about 3–5 rides the entire day because of how extremely busy it was. The signboards claimed the waiting time was 30 minutes, but that’s completely inaccurate — it took at least double that for every ride. The park itself looks nice, but the whole experience was ruined by the endless queues and poor crowd management. Overall, it was an awful experience and definitely not worth the time or money. I wouldn’t want to visit again.

I visited Chessington World of Adventures today with my family and had a really good time. The weather was lovely, which always helps, and I was impressed with how easy it was to get on the rides. Most of them had little to no queue at all, so we could go straight on, which was fantastic with young children. The kids really enjoyed themselves and there was a nice mix of rides suitable for their ages. On the downside, some of the rides could definitely do with a bit more cleaning and maintenance, as a few looked quite worn. I also noticed a bit of a rat problem near some of the bins, which was unpleasant to see. Overall though, we had a very enjoyable day out and I would recommend it to families, especially if you can go on a quieter day like we did.

Lovely day with the children, my only criticism is the time it takes to get onto the ride, the cost to upgrade is just too much, but the time wasted on getting people off and on I think could be improved to speed things up. The guys in the ticket office were brilliant after some issues with my tickets not coming through they sorted it very quickly.

Chessington is an all rounded place to visit as it both has animals and rides!!! The ride queue time is sometimes long but you get to buy quick access tickets. Sometimes even when the queue was just 5 minutes you had to walk through the long queue path which sometimes can be annoying. The park has something for everyone. Not much choice in food especially if you are health conscious but you get to bring your own picnic. Staff were friendly in the park- not so much in the car park. The refill stations for the cups you can buy for £18 were few and not well sign posted and the ones stationed outside were covered in wasps. The ones in the sweet shop were great!! They also don’t let u refill for ten minutes which was also annoying cos I got a couple of wasps in my first drink!! The rides were good. The animals look healthy and happy. I had a very good day out here.

Really great stadium, was lovely seeing England beat Wales 3-0. The crowd was great, and it was interesting watching people try to fly paper aeroplanes onto the pitch. Great view of the pitch and the fireworks were good.

Simply incredible. Very well designed stadium which is straightforward to get into and out of and one of the best atmospheres in the country. Absolute must to see an England game here.

Great stadium, loads of food choices near by and shops if you have time. Be aware that there is a no bag policy, so don't bring a bag (you can bring a v small bag, details at the Wembley website)

Excellent ground that is befitting of the venue of our national stadium. We parked in red parking which was literally next to the ground. 5 minutes walk and we were in the queue which went down very quickly. Once inside a good range of food, albeit at very London prices. Chicken tenders were top notch. Will definitely visit again. 👍🏼

We went to watch England vs Australia in the first Rugby League Ahes Test. While the Aussie's were by far the better team, we had a great day out. The travel was easy, we booked space on a Wembley resisdents driveway for £25. An 8 minute walk to the stadium. Food in the Box Park, and soaked up the atmosphere. Wembley is a great stadium.

Wembley Stadium is such an amazing place for a match or event. The light shows before the games always look incredible, and there are plenty of good seating options for decent prices. Tickets are usually quite affordable too, which is great for such a big venue. There are loads of toilets around (including accessible ones), and plenty of food and drink stands both inside and outside the stadium. You can also grab a match programme for about £5, which makes a nice souvenir, or pick up merchandise like shirts, hats, and keyrings. The stadium’s easy to get to by tube, and there’s parking on site as well. Plus, there are loads of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby, including a big outlet park. The staff are always friendly and helpful too, which makes the whole experience even better. The only downside is how busy it gets after matches. It can be a nightmare trying to leave when the station is packed, and a few times we’ve had to leave early just to beat the crowds and get home at a decent time.

First time at Wembley for Coldplay and it wasn’t just the concert that was amazing. Wembley staff were friendly, stewards were super helpful. It was a great atmosphere and super safe. Travelling by tube was easy and a short walk up to the ground just helps build the excitement. Plenty of food stands and drinks inside along with merchandise. We elected to go Experience by Wembley, so we were in VIP on Level two. Recommended for sure.

We visited here for the first time ever last weekend, despite our Daughter living in London. We bought tickets online so that upon arrival they were promptly scanned, no queue whatsoever. Where do I start, the gardens are stunning and the place is so vast. We walked around the perimeter path to start, then we walked everywhere, the large glass houses and conservatories are amazing, there is so much to see. Amenities are great, lots of choices for food, we ate at a Orangery restaurant in the grounds under the grape vines (al fresco dining) the food was amazing, where a main with drinks was only £66 for 3 adults. These gardens are predominantly wheelchair accessible too. We thoroughly enjoyed the Treetop Walkway (which has a lift and stairs) so pushchair users were also able to go up, the views were fantastic. The day was warm, so there were families enjoying picnics in the relaxing grounds. Prepare to sieve a whole day, and for the entrance fee considering this is London, we found the prices to be very reasonable indeed. There is just so much for the whole family. Facilities are extremely good too, with accessible toilets, changing places toilet, baby feeding room, baby change, shop, cafe, information, and water fountains throughout the gardens, there is also a prayer/reflections room, and finally a bus stop. Visiting is a must.

It is one of the most famous and important gardens in the world. It is a historic landscape garden in southwest London, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Charles Darwin’s contributed to Kew Gardens significantly, mainly because Kew houses a large part of the plant specimens he collected during his famous voyage aboard the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836. Around 450 of the approximately 1,400 plant specimens Darwin gathered are preserved at Kew, with these collections still actively studied and digitized. Great experience with really a lot of different impressions: - areas with plants from all over the world - treetop walkway Kew Gardens is renowned for its extraordinary glasshouses, which house diverse plant collections from across the globe. The key glasshouses include: - The Palm House: Built between 1844 and 1848, the Palm House is one of the most iconic Victorian glasshouses. It features a tropical rainforest environment and hosts many rare and endangered tropical plants, including the oldest potted plant in the world, - Temperate House: The largest Victorian glasshouse in the world, the Temperate House houses around 10,000 plants of 1,500 species from regions including Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas. - Water Lily House: Built in 1852 and designed by the same architect and ironmaker as the Palm House, the Water Lily House shelters aquatic plants including tropical water lilies. - King George III‘s house King George III’s house in Kew Gardens is known as Kew Palace, also called the Dutch House. Originally built in 1631 as a silk merchant’s mansion, it became the smallest royal palace and served as the summer home of King George III in the 18th century. George III and his wife Queen Charlotte spent many happy summers there with their large family. The palace and its gardens provided a private, intimate retreat from public life, where the king could live more normally without the usual royal ceremony. Really a great experience and you have to plan enough time - or even several visits.

Amazing and beautiful...not enough time in one day so we will be back. We had lunch in the Brasserie and the food was delicious and service was great ...a little pricey though. Also whilst the Christmas light trail is on the Glass Houses close at 2.30 and you need to exit by 3.15 which made the trip a little shorter. Parking is also £9 for the day - which during the shorter opening times at the moment could be reduced?

A true uncut Diamond of london the best of the best. It truely beats all the other london attractions hands down.oh this jackdoor. Was very very smart he shared lunch with us very charming and clever bird. It was a wonderful day .

What can you say about what is one of the best botanical gardens in the world. Love the Marianne North Gallery. The cafes/restaurants are various and should cater to most needs. So much to see at any time of year. Just missed the best of the autumn leaves display on this visit. Took a liking to the Princess of Wales conservatory. A must for any fan of cactii. Also, lots of sculptures around at this time of year ready for the Christmas light show.

Kew Gardens is beautiful- we went on the coldest wettest day and still spent a few hours wondering through the gardens, exploring the greenhouses and stopped at THE ORANGERY for lunch. It was clean with a great selection of food, and friendly helpful staff. We ended up signing up for a year’s membership and are looking forward to going back.

(October) Some pathways and buildings were closed for the season. Large, busy gift shop at the main Victoria entrance, with plants and many souvenir/gift items. Only two cashiers on duty at a busy time meant I opted out of my intended small purchase. Signage throughout the gardens is quite good. Fall colours, Syon Outlook, Treetop Walkway, Temperate House, Great Pagoda, Queen Charlotte’s Cottage, Kew Palace.

Lovely spot for fishing, walking, visiting cafe etc. Good location in small village but with sufficient facilities to stay for a week without needing to visit a big supermarket etc. pitches are decent size and the lakeside pitches offer ideal situation for fishing and camping, in relative privacy. Staff are friendly, helpful and responsive to questions. Only issue for me was the service at the ‘Cafe on the Lake’ . Staff were not organized, working together and long queues resulted. Also noted the apparent manager criticizing a member of front house staff open.y in front of customers, which I never like.

This is a great camping/caravan/motorhome site and fishery. Also a working farm. Extremely dog friendly, got a play area for kids, safe for cycling. Toilet/shower/laundry facilities are excellent. I highly recommend it 👌. I haven't rated rooms because I was in my motorhome.

Love coming back to Sumners Pond. Cafe just gets better and better. Love the location. Staff really friendly. Food delicious. Lovely environment. Happy memories of family holidays here.

Every year for a long time there was no holiday that didn't include a visit to this campsite, of course with a tent, usually at bluebell park. Because there is a playground there and the kids love it, and unfortunately it was the same this year.Unfortunately, this year it turned out that nothing was left of the beautiful forest where the kids liked to walk at night with flashlights, but somehow they managed to get through it at the end of the visit, new holidaymakers arrived, I don't know why They chose this place because they had adult children and immediately started being loud and drinking alcohol openly, they lit a fire where it is forbidden and no one came to tell them they couldn't. I got up around 11 p.m. I got up to tell them to be quiet because we can't sleep, everything in the house stinks now, the clothes and car all have to be washed. We had to end our holiday early, even though it was paid for, because the stench of the burning fire and loud conversations at night after drinking alcohol were unbearable.

This is a great place for fishing walking and has a lovely cafe I haven't stayed here but I know they have many different styles of places to stay in from a simple tent to a full on lodge Very friendly staff with a great selection of food in the on site cafe and a well stocked fishing ahop on site too.

In general this campsite is okay. There is a lot of fishing opportunities if you like to fish and a few paths for biking or for walks or runs. However a lot of the forest got cut down since last year and I am quite dissapointed because riding a bike is close to impossible there now and children can't play their usual games in there. You can still go on walks there however. The showers near the playground had freezing cold water so I had to walk far away to the other showers for warmer water which were much better quality. The people next to my tent were very loud late at night and had an open fire which i saw them using the wood from the forest and I know is forbidden, but when I tried to call the campiste number they didn't pick up. The location is great because there is a small shop nearby where you can pick up food and toiletries if you need it. If you have children you can ask for a spot near the playground so you can easily watch your children while they play with friends or siblings. There is also horses, cows, bulls and ducks which you have opportunities to feed if you ask the reception.

Recently stayed in a shepards hut at sumners pond. Wanted a romantic getaway but not quite as expected. Only once I had booked did I find out that we could not book into 4pm due to lack of cleaning staff. Hut tidy but I would exactly say clean. Lots of dead insects on floor and on paintwork, outside deck covered in dead leaves and acorns. Also no correspondence from sumners pond to inform us that the cafe was closed on a Monday from 3 and no catering van so had to drive to find evening meal. The hut is not suitable at all to bbq so definatley had to get own food. Shower block described as new, is definatley more tired than new. But if using early in the morning were clean.

Beautiful gardens. Free parking (must be under 2.1m as there's a barrier. We went on a busy bank holiday and whilst we had to park in the overflow car park there was plenty of room still. Lovely walk around the gardens, took us around 1-2 hours with adult children including stopping for a short sit down. There's a pond there, quite shallow but watch young children. It has an enormous fish in it which even my adult kids loved spotting and in May loads of tadpoles which younger kids would enjoy spotting. There are plenty of shaded as well as open spots to walk around and what seems to be a small visitor centre at the start (it wasn't open when we went so can't comment on it). Not somewhere to spend the day but certainly somewhere to stop for a short walk if you have time. The toilets are not pleasant and it could have done with a map of the place at the start so you didn't miss any of it and I understand why they don't want dogs but it's also frustrating when there is a wide open hill next door to walk your dog but you can't then take them into the gardens. All in all however definitely worth stopping off. There's also no right turn into there so you have to do to the roundabout and back to turn into it if heading from east to west.

What a find , free parking , free entry to this stunning little oasis of a garden. Really worth a visit , hope to go another day when plants are for sale . Great for a quiet picnic lots of benches and accessible too . No dogs .

Lovely gardens. So much shade which is cool to stop and rest under. All the trees are labelled so you can learn as you go around. Toilets are available at the start of the gardens but there is also a cafe and pub.

Amazing place. 100% worth visiting, you can see beautiful plants and chill out. Plenty of space n benches. Perfect place to relax 😊

A beautiful place. Recommended to me by a dendrologist I know. This place was set up by a gentleman and his wife who created a garden on chalk!!! Not very large, but there is a nursery nearby for coffee and Highdown Hill which can be walked from Highdown Gardens car park. Has a very gradual incline so is quite easy. Very popular with dog walkers. We sat at the top on a beautiful, hot, sunny late afternoon in June and saw skylarks 😊 hovering above

Really worth a visit. The gardens are magical and there are trees covered in silk and silk worms. Fascinating to see. It is such a peaceful and wonderful place.

Beautiful Garden! Highly recommended for a family walk or picnic. Peaceful, clean with loads of different trees and flowers. There are a lot of spots to sit down and relax.

Was able to visit this vast historic ground that was the Palace of King Henry Vlll some 500yrs ago. Took pictures of the ongoing renovations, the river canal with pier, the gardens Hampton Court Palace, located on the River Thames in southwest London, is one of England’s most famous royal palaces with a rich and complex history: Early History: Built in 1514 by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the powerful chief minister to King Henry VIII. Wolsey transformed the site into a lavish Renaissance palace, but as he fell out of favor with the king, he gifted it to Henry VIII in 1528 to avoid disgrace. Tudor Era: Henry VIII greatly expanded the palace, making it one of his main residences. He added the Great Hall, Tudor kitchens, and royal apartments. It was a favorite residence of his and played host to numerous important events, including marriages, births, and political dealings. Stuart Period: Under James I and Charles I, the palace remained a royal residence. Charles I was imprisoned at Hampton Court briefly before his execution in 1649. Baroque Transformation: In the late 1600s, William III and Mary II commissioned architect Sir Christopher Wren to modernize the palace in the Baroque style, intending to rival Versailles. Much of the Tudor palace was replaced, but the project was never fully completed, leaving a unique blend of Tudor and Baroque architecture. Later Use and Preservation: The palace ceased being a royal residence in the 18th century, though it housed grace-and-favor residents (people granted accommodation by the monarch) for many years. In the 19th century, it opened to the public as a historic site. Today Hampton Court Palace is managed by Historic Royal Palaces and is a major tourist attraction. Visitors can explore the Tudor kitchens, Haunted Gallery, maze, gardens, and royal apartments, offering insight into over 500 years of royal history.

It’s a great day out with a lot to see and do, however it was a little lacking especially when considering value for money. We went during Halloween and a lot of effort was made for that which was great. The cafes served good food was a good selection but was on the pricey side! Facilities were good and staff were friendly and helpful. They have. Car park but you have to get there early, we just kissed out but there is car parking at the train station just over the bridge.

If you want to explore a beautifully maintained castle with an abundance of history then this is a place you need to visit when in London. An easy 45min Train ride from central London gets you here. Tickets include an audio guide with multiple tour options covering the history of the palace, the Tudor Dynasty and descriptions of the many ornate rooms. The Palace and grounds are sprawling so expect to spend at least a half a day here.

Really disappointed in this whole experience. We went on a Friday, it was pretty busy but not entirely unexpected. We felt like there was a lot of emphasis put on Henry VIII's palace, however, there seemed little reference to him living there overall. There wasn't any atmosphere and a lot of rooms were empty - it just looked quite empty overall. It was also extremely hot inside, and the lack of airflow was stifling. We thought it would be a loy more regal and extravagant than what was on offer. We were extremely disappointed to learn that the banqueting hall and other areas are currently closed to the public. Bearing in mind our tickets were £80.00 for 3 adults, we didn't feel that we got overall value for money. The gift shop was much of a muchness, usual expensive crap made in China. The cafe was ridiculously expensive for the quality of food on offer, and flies were crawling all over the food on display which had not been covered up. The vegetable patch and gardens were fabulous and the highlight of the day, the exterior architecture is fabulous aside from that, thoroughly disappointed. The staff were also grumpy and not very forthcoming in sharing and tips or highlights, and we were made to feel an inconvenience for asking questions.

Meh. OK, I'm glad we went only to say that we've been, and the gardens (even in November) and the Royal Chapel (the highlight of the visit for us) were wonderful, but everything else was pretty blah, even with the all the history. Lots of empty rooms. Plus at 28 pounds a person (oy!!), it was a big hit to the budget. It was overrun by school tour groups on the day we went, which didn't help either. Save your money and join the National Trust instead.

Nowhere else in the world will you find a Tudor palace seamlessly paired with a Baroque one. For anyone interested in English history and architecture, this is among the very best places to visit. The palace is currently undergoing renovation, which is expected to be completed next June. If you can wait, it may be worth coming back then.

A great day out. The staff are very knowledgeable, approachable and enthusiastic. The kitchen garden and formal gardens are excellent, lots of fabulous art on display. You can get a free audio tour if you want, or just wander. You can buy food there, but it isn't cheap - BLT baguette cost me an eye-watering £9.50. It was very nice, but, wow! You can park in the grounds, but you will need to book. There is a second official car park 5 minutes walk away that doesn't need booking. The cost of car parking was £1.80an hour. We paid for 7 hours and had just under an hour to spare. PS - when you're outside, don't forget to look up! The chimney stacks on the palace are amazing! PPS - it's cheaper if you book on line, and cheaper if your children had Blue Peter badges.

Great day out with my 18 month old grandson and family! Lots for him to do and rides to go on. Loved the Barrel Bug Safari! The Splash Pad was a brilliant way to cool down on a hot day. We all enjoyed the Farm Show and Trailer & Tractor ride. All the staff were friendly, cheerful and helpful.

Last Sunday our family of four celebrated here with our 6 year old birthday boy! He was greeted with congratulations and a birthday sticker which he loved. Staff were super friendly all day! They also sung happy birthday to him on stage at the family disco! It was a gorgeously sunny day, fairly quiet considering (perhaps due to end of summer?). The tractor ride was brilliant - the lady was so informative whilst driving us around - told us names, ages and personalities of the animals which was great! Lots included for your ticket price and my son said it was an 'epic day!' Jumping pillows, play castle, tea cups, splash attack, meeting the baby animals.. just so much to see and do. Love that you can pay 2 tokens (£2) for a pony ride.. this was his favourite activity! The park was clean, queues were short, it is well spaced out but does not require huge amounts of walking. Sensory Barn was a calm retreat and the indoor play area were fab with thrilling drop slides! Our 9 year old was pleasantly surprised and loved Skyfall 6m, Climbing Wall, Devils Dyke Descent. Just as lovely as we remember (having not been since he was 3!). We will definitely return, thank you Fishers Farm for our memorable day out! 👏❤️

We visited on 02/11/2025 with our 2 and 4 year old. This farm has been designed with children (and their animals) at the heart and it really does show. We had an amazing day and every corner we turned there was something for us to look at, explore or play. Thank you for a great day. I just also want to highlight the staff, every single member of staff was smiling and eager to help or just have a good chat, especially the lovely harlequin ‘guarding’ the little Halloween scary/sweet walk throughs. The animals are so loved and cared for. We have attend manyyyyy of farms and have never seen such happy animals! I also cannot get over how clean the farm was?!? The soft plays and play village are amazing, the outside areas spotless even the animal enclosures. You all deserve a hugeeeee pat on the back. So fairly priced and we cannot wait to come back and visit.

Had a fabulous day at Fishers with my 6 year old son. He particularly loved Skyfall, the climbing wall, Tropicana wagon run, soft play areas / slides and other rides. There was certainly enough to keep him entertained for a full day. He loves the freedom and variety the Farm offers The food outlets were good and all the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. It is amazing to see how the park has changed and improved over 35 years! We will return again.

Always a great day out at Fishers Farm. We travel from Wiltshire to meet friends half way. I’m happy to see some investment has been made to the park. The new entrance building with the gift shop is lovely. The woodland forest has been completely re done (photos attached). We are excited to try the ringos ramp when it’s finished next time we come as that was still being worked on. We especially loved the new baby sensory area inside. Thanks all for a l other great visit, see you again soon!

We had a great time at Fishers Farm Adventure Park — it’s a brilliant day out with lots to do and really well suited for younger children. The activities, rides, and play areas are perfect for under 12s, and my preschooler absolutely loved it. That said, it’s not ideal for teens, as there isn’t much to keep older kids entertained for long. Also, the pricing felt a bit unfair — my preschooler had to pay the same price as an adult, which was the only real downside of the visit. Other than that, it was a lovely day, the park is well maintained, and we’d definitely go again!

Visited Fishers Farm Park today with my 17 month old for the first time and wow what an amazing place. I have to say it's in my top 5 of places to go with children. Staff are so friendly and really good with the children, animals are well cared for and looked after and had lovely homes. There is so much to do there for children. So many play areas, rides (most are free), slides, sensory rooms, places to run, places to bounce and places to roam free! We had such a good day here. Food and drink is reasonably priced. Lots of areas to sit and have lunch too! Spent the whole day here and had such a great time! 10000% worth a visit!

A must see. The castle is huge and very interesting to visit. One can see the different periods of time of its occupation. The interiors exhibit very well reconstructed rooms. The garden is very rich and diverse. The stumpery was our favorite part, in particular thanks to the autumn colours. Full tour of the castle and gardens took us about 3 hours.

Stunning castle for history, art, and design lovers! Walking through the castle and keep felt like entering one of my many childhood drawings. The weather was lovely and the gardens made me si happy—there are greenhouses to visit, a rose garden, ponds, and so many wonderful interiors for a great day trip from London. Thank you!

Such an incredible experience! Visiting from the states, so I don't get a lot of castle tours, but this one was simply exceptional. From the gardens, to the castle tour, to the guides, and the cafe, we left with an amazing experience and tons of stunning shots! Highly recommend planning for a sunny day to enjoy the beautiful gardens. Truly an unforgettable experience! The setups were stunning to see and the staff was more than friendly and informative. Plus, the food was great! We shared a sausage roll and pasty, but ate it too quickly to snap a photo! If you're in the area, or wanting to make a day trip to the south, can't suggest Arundel further! It took us three to four hours to clear the grounds and castle altogether- it's worth the ticket!

Lovely place. Bit pricey, but the castle and grounds are huge, so you can spend most of the day there. It's really well set up, with a specific route that takes you through the whole castle and learn about its history. The gardens are equally stunning. Great visit. Would recommend.

Google's 50 picture limit means I can't show you the superior quality of this place. My favourite castle in the country, somewhere I've always wanted to visit, and by a long way the best one I've ever been to. I loved every second of being in here, I'd do it all again. The Duke of Norfolk is a very lucky man, to own this place must be a very special experience.

11th century castle has impressive grounds and you can explore the castle. Very informative volunteers who are happy to showcase the part of the castle they are located in. Beautiful gardens. The gift shop is lovely. One of the first houses to be fitted with electrical lights. Closes soon in early November

The most beautiful castle I've ever been too. Have visited before pre baby and did the whole castle, but attended again recently to visit the gardens only as had the baby in the pram which is not accessible in the castle for prams. It was absolutely stunning and better than I remembered. Looked extra lovely in the sunshine. Gardens were beautiful. The garden cafe was great, friendly lady there. Toilets also clean and spacious. We also met the lovely little puppy Titus who was wondering the grounds with it's owner.

The Versailles of British gardening If Kew is the King, then Wisley is unquestionably the Crown Prince beautifully groomed, impeccably mannered, and dripping in horticultural old-money charm. The borders are magnificent. The glasshouse is a cathedral of tropical splendour. Even the ducks appear to have degrees in botany. You don’t visit Wisley you take pilgrimage. Spring brings tulips arranged with mathematical perfection. Summer is dahlia heaven. Autumn is a masterclass in fiery foliage. Winter? Even the frost looks curated. The gift shop deserves its own postcode and a security guard you will leave with at least one book you didn’t need, a mug you don’t have room for, and seeds for plants you cannot pronounce. This is simply the Wisley effect. Bring: Comfortable shoes A packed lunch (or a willing wallet the café is delicious but not for the faint-pursed) A camera, because the borders humiliate your own garden mercilessly If you love plants, go. If you don’t love plants, go anyway you will by the end.

Absolutely beautiful gardens — always something new to see in every season. The Glasshouse is stunning, and the Hilltop Centre is full of great ideas for sustainable gardening. Everything is so well cared for, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely cafés and plenty of space to relax and wander. A perfect day out for garden lovers or anyone who enjoys nature! 🌿🌸

Stunning day out with the family, to be in awe of nature. Mind-blowing how many different trees/plants/flowers there are around you (all labelled!) and how exquisitely they are maintained by the RHS Wisley team. Managed to get discounted tickets and thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing day of walking around all of the different gardens. The indoor glass house is also amazing in what feels like a rainforest climate! Definitely one to check out for the day to get in the clean air and appreciate the incredible creation around us! Ample free parking available.

Beautiful gardens and grounds. So much to see and a lovely walk through the open areas . Plenty of things to do with their library and activity centre. Great places to eat and a massive garden centre with gift shop. I had a great day out.

Do love a visit to Wisley. Loads to see nice (but expensive) cafe’s. The garden centre is very good (but again, pricey) and the glass house is a big highlight - especially when they release the butterflies at certain times of year. The new centre on top of hill is a nice educational addition. If you’re local membership is better value if you are visiting often.

I haven't visited since the makeover...what a transformation. Joined an excellent guided walk (no extra charge) and really enjoyed the late Autumn colours. The shop is now in full Christmas mode and almost overwhelming but great if you have time. Only reduced a star because the doors both sides of the café kept auto opening every time someone walked past. The food was delicious the two girls behind the counter must have been frozen but were both absolutely delightful and helpful, staying cheerful and made a stonking hot chocolate which we needed to ward the cold in the cafe off! Even enjoyed watching goldfinches on the teasels in the carpark.

It was good, but not the best lights ever. Im probably spoilt as we have done Longlete, Windsor and blenhiem.... But they made a great effort in the greenhouse and the lights on the lake matched the music well. We good night out.

Here are some tips to help you make the most of a day in Cassiobury Park if you’re going for the miniature railway: 🚂 Miniature Railway Ride times are 11 am – 5 pm. It’s a short, fun trip through the trees that kids (and adults!) love. 🎶 Bandstand Today, 3 pm – 5 pm, the Big Bandstand series is on. Free live music in the heart of the park—great to relax after the train ride. 👧 Playgrounds Two big playgrounds: The Hub Playground near the Cha Café has water play features (splash area in summer), climbing frames, and swings. The Lower Playground near the paddling pools is best for younger children. 🍴 Food & Drink Cha Café (by the Hub): Independent café with sandwiches, cakes, kids’ lunch boxes, and good coffee. Gets busy at lunchtime, so earlier or later is best. Ice-cream vans and kiosks are dotted around the park. Plenty of picnic spots if you’d rather bring your own. 🌳 Walks & Extras Lovely riverside walks along the Grand Union Canal (just beyond the railway). Wide open spaces for ball games or frisbee. If you’ve time, stroll through the nature reserve area at the far end of the park—it’s quieter and great for spotting wildlife. 👉 A nice flow for your day could be: Morning: Playground + railway ride Lunch: Picnic or Cha Café Afternoon: Canal walk

This is such an amazing park, for people living around it’s a bliss. It is such a large and lovely place. Large tress with water bodies running canals gives a wholesome feel of forest and countryside.

Amazing and beautiful park for walks with your dog. It has a lot to offer not only to pet owners but also to parents or anyone who enjoys nature 2h free parking included but remember to take a ticket even for free period. There are at least 2 cafe points there, these are a bit pricey but they have good coffee.

The park is our lifeline. The cafes are fantastic so as the people. I feel relaxed and overwhelmed with natural feelings. We also enjoy the fireworks every year. It’s a great experience.

I recently visited Cassiobury Park for the Bake Fest event, and it was a really lovely experience. The park itself is beautiful — spacious, green, and well looked after, with plenty of room to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. The Bake Fest was a real highlight: so many stalls with delicious baked goods, as cakes and pastries. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and it felt like a great community event. Cassiobury Park is already a great place to spend time, whether for a walk, picnic, or just to relax outdoors, and events like Bake Fest make it even more special. I’d definitely recommend visiting, especially when something like this is happening!

Lovely and clean park. Good for running, walking your pets, or just chilling. Quiet and serene with lots of seating areas and a small play area for kids. There's also a canal there with a mini waterfall that looks nice.

One of the best Trust houses we have visited. Great art works everywhere in the huge rooms. It was nice to have some seating to relax and enjoy. The grounds are well kept making it a pleasant walk from the car parking area. Seats in the cafe were limited during the rain showers, as one would expect.

Another National Trust gem! Had a wonderful day there. So much to see and wonderful walks in the grounds and deer park. The art collection is outstanding and as usual the volunteers in the house were great. Had an interesting talk in the square dining room about the history of the family. Found the kitchens fascinating!Great cafe too. Highly recommend.

Visiting Petworth House is a great way to spend a few hours. Impressive artwork, including many Turner paintings, sculptures, a Chapel, a deer park, servants quarters, well kept gardens and a cafe with plenty of seating. I found the Main House interesting, and the furnishings gave an idea of how life may have been, but I always like visiting the servants quarters, as they give me more of a feel for the character of the House. The Guides were very informative and came up with interesting facts which added to the experience. The House is about a ten minutes walk from Reception, with a slight incline in places. There is a large car park which was showing as "full" when I arrived, but I, and the cars following behind, managed to find a space.

Petworth is a NT place with huge grounds and a large house. The ground are beautiful and lead down to a lake from the house. The ground here can be quite boggy, even in good weather so be wearing suitable footwear. The house itself is large and you can walk round a lot of it but because the family still inhabit it, a lot of it is still private. They do open up certain extra spaces at points so worth checking out, for example in Oct some of the upstairs is open. Opposite the house are the servants quarters which have been turned into some viewing space alongside a bookshop and cafe. Also there are toilets in here, the only other toilets are before the entrance. There are NT volunteers around the house and they were all very friendly and helpful. The house is quite a walk from the car park however so you will need to be able to walk a distance or use one of the wheelchairs you can borrow (probably best to try and book one). The gardens are spacious and varied from the open space down to the lake by the house to the woodland and dogs on leads can be walked here (not in the house). Definitely worth a visit, in the colder months probably and hour or twos visit but in summer we have spent several hours here exploring the grounds and having a picnic etc.

My first National Trust to visit and this place did not disappoint. Very lovely art displays inside, interesting history, good restaurant, friendly staff. There’s a super big walk outside the actual property which we also did, a lot of deer around the area which was lovely to see. Lake area also beautiful. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a nice summer activity.

A truly wonderful day trip to the picturesque village of Petworth allowed us to stroll through its cobbled streets, full of charming cafés and many art galleries displaying antiques and beautiful pieces of art. There’s a convenient parking area and a spacious café within the Petworth House grounds — a perfect place to take a break and look over the map provided at reception. The interior architecture and the abundance of artworks take you back in time, while the gardens outside are stunning and beautifully maintained, offering a heavenly atmosphere in every season. Definitely worth a visit — take your time and enjoy every minute!

Very accessable by public transport via Pulborough station and the 1 bus although you need to get your timings in sync. Superb parkland and interesting in interiors if a little lacking in natural light. Superb staff input and loved the 2nd hand bookshop. A brilliant day out.

Awesome experience, be prepared to que during intervals for using the toilets and bar. Drinks prices are high but that was to be expected. Great venue.. would definitely go again to watch Ben and the Michael jackson experience. Very good performance from all. Great night

Superb venue, been here two or three times now. Modern and well presented throughout. Truckers: easy enough with a large dock. If they forget to raise the entry barrier you can drive south and enter that way, spinning in the car park if you need to, to get onto the dock.

Fabulous venue, very modern, watched a great show. Good view from all seats. Very friendly staff, reasonable drink prices for a theatre.

Easy and cheap parking. Venue is great. I have sat in many different seats and all have a great view. They have some excellent comedians. Much cheaper and easier than going into London

Easy to navigate, welcoming staff. Right temperature and acoustics were great. The only negative was no rail on steps to the seats. Being disabled, l had to rely on the kindness of fellow show goers to hold my arm going up and down to my seat.

A medium-sized concert venue, I gave been to both seated and standing gigs here, and it is suited to both. Good sound and staff are helpful. Reasonable beer selection for this type of bar.

An excellent venue. Lots of facilities including bars and coffee. The staff were very polite and helpful. We went to see Tim Peake, so not a raging concert (not sure if they have those there). It was bright and clean and unobstructed view of the stage from the stalls. The seats were a little low, so after sitting for an hour or so it was a bit of a challenge to get up. We parked at the Mill Road Carpark and walked up. Lots of choice for eating and drinking on the way. Overall a brilliant venue and we will definitely go back.

First time visiting and was blown away at the history and beauty of the Castle, the church and grounds. The town is charming as well. This is a must see, easy trip via overland train from London. Get the audio tour headsets as it’s included and will make the experience worthwhile.

Its an english castle. Well kept. I Its slightly less for value of money. Would advice to buy tickets in advance as that will save money. If you are visiting multiple castles throughout UK, kindly buy a pass for them as that will be cheaper rather than buying tickets at every castle. No pictures allowed inside.

Its a very nice castle to visit with a lot of interesting weapons and armour. The security section is a bit unorganised and chaotic but otherswise a great place to visit. The audio guide is great. Staff is nice.

What a beautiful castle. The tour is well planned and if you love the monarchy and the queen/king things you will be blown away by this gorgeous place. Just don’t forget to book tickets in advance, take the audio guide with you and enjoy a little touch to royal family’s life.

We took the day trip to Windsor Castle, Bath, and Stonehenge, and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Steve, was wonderful, he is incredibly knowledgeable and funny. I also want to give a big shout out to our coach driver Carlos who made sure we got to each location in a timely manner. ​Steve shared so many interesting facts, especially at Bath and Windsor Castle my favorite stop. It's a lot to see in one day, but Steve managed the schedule perfectly. Lunch at La cock was a nice touch and very delicious. ​Seeing all these iconic sites in one go was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!

The castle is quite large, especially the Royal Apartments, which include many rooms. You should allow around four hours to explore everything calmly and take it all in, and that’s even without taking photos, since photography and video recording inside the apartments are unfortunately not allowed. The castle grounds are beautiful, with lovely trees and a small park. You can also see the royal guards outside, who seem to change several times a day, marching across the castle grounds. We visited on a rainy day, and although the weather wasn’t ideal, there were still quite a few visitors. I highly recommend taking the audio guide, it’s available in several languages and gives an excellent explanation of each building, room, and painting. In the guidebook, the tour starts with the Royal Apartments and then continues to St. George’s Chapel, but in reality, the chapel seems more logical to visit first, as most people turn left rather than going straight uphill to the apartments. Perhaps this is because there aren’t many clear signs outside indicating the order of the route, unlike inside the Royal Apartments, where the directions are very well organized. Because of this, the route can feel a bit confusing, or maybe it was just because we were rushing to find shelter from the heavy rain, as we didn’t have umbrellas. There are several souvenir shops on the castle grounds and a café where you can buy official chocolate, keychains, magnets, books, toys, coins, jewelry, and beautifully designed pens and pencils. From the windows of the Royal Apartments, there’s a truly stunning panoramic view of the inner garden, which, unfortunately, is closed to visitors. The bushes are perfectly trimmed, genuinely royal. We arrived at the castle around 11:00 a.m. and stayed until about 2:45 p.m. Online tickets cost £31, but since it was a Monday in November, there were no queues, so we bought ours on-site for £35 per adult. Before entering, there’s a security check at the gate. Overall, the castle is absolutely worth visiting, a perfect trip for one or one and a half days. The town itself has a great variety of restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops. The train station is right in the centre, about a five-minute walk away. Everything is within walking distance, our hotel was just 10 minutes from the castle, which was perfect, as after dinner in town we could enjoy a short walk back. Since the castle stands right in the heart of the town, there are hotels just across the street, but even those located a bit further away are still very convenient and charming. Parking could be improved, as in most tourist towns in England. We checked several public car parks, with daily rates between £22 and £28. Our hotel had its own secure parking area behind the building, gated and monitored, for £20 per day. It might be worth checking some higher-end hotels, as a few of them may offer free parking, though such options are quite limited.

Fascinating visit, it's everything you expect it to be! £35 for an adult ticket which includes an audio tour. Well organised and the staff are efficient and friendly. Amazing to finally see how the royal family live in the castle and the history is incredible .

I came to Salisbury for the cathedral but fell in love with this chapel. I sat down for the last of the service one evening and they were kind to allow me to take a look before closing. I returned the next two days to just sit and enjoy. Highly recommend!!

Visiting Windsor Castle and St. George's Chapel on the grounds was beautiful. It was a lovely day and many visitors. The visitors were happy and friendly.

Highly recommended! St George's Chapel is a Gothic chapel located in the lower bailey of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England. Windsor, the most important castle in England, is the primary residence of the monarch. The castle chapel is under the direct jurisdiction of the monarch and is the seat of the Congregation of the Order of the Garter. The castle chapel was founded in the 14th century by King Edward III and significantly expanded in the late 15th century. It is the site of many royal church services, weddings and funerals. If you bought a ticket to visit Windsor Castle, the chapel is included in the ticket price. You can also buy a separate ticket for much cheaper if you do not plan to visit the castle. A castle + chapel ticket costs 35 pounds, a ticket only for the chapel is about 7 pounds. Information accurate as of June 2025. P.S. I try to share specific information. If the review was useful, put 👍. I don't get any "goodies", but other tourists will see this review first. Have a good mood and exciting travels!🌍☀️🪂

A nice chapel, very informative details shared on the headphone guide set. I also saw the memorial where Queen Elizabeth II and Duke of Edinburgh was buried and also the main church where there were previous royal weddings and funerals. Sadly can't take pictures of inside the chapel.

The chapel in Kings college is amazing, but not quite worth 20+ pounds.

An absolutely stunning church, with such a long and varied history behind it and of course now the resting place of Queen Elizabeth II as well as her mother, father, sister and her beloved Prince Philip. You aren't allowed to take photographs or videos but this is of course for a very good reason and everyone around me also followed the rules and refrained from taking photographs. Its a very special place to reflect and will be forevermore.

Within the grounds of Windsor Castle and a bit of a misnomer.... chapel, it's more like a cathedral. Epic historical building. No photography allowed inside. Built in the late medieval perpendicular Gothic style. Founded in the 14th century. Definitely worth going to see if you like architecture as the interior is magnificent and awesome.

Amazing!!! Went to see The Lightning Thief- Percy Jackson!! Wow! All the performers were spot on! 100% recommend if you get a chance to watch. Songs were catchy, stage design was great, jokes were just right! Well done to all.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing the Michael Jackson tribute starring Ben at the Theatre Royal Windsor, and it was amazing. From start to finish, the energy was electric and the performance thoroughly entertaining. 🎤 Ben truly captured the essence of Michael Jackson – his voice, moves, and charisma were spot on bringing every song to life. The costumes were stunning and added that extra sparkle to the whole experience. 💡 The stage lights are extremely bright, so if you're sensitive to lighting, you might want to bring sunglasses or sit a bit further back. 🪑 Seating-wise, the chairs are quite snug. If you're on the larger side, I’d recommend booking an “end” seat for a bit more comfort with leg room. That said, the view was really good. 🏰 The location couldn’t be better – right opposite Windsor Castle and surrounded by lovely restaurants, making it perfect for a pre-show dinner or post-show drinks. Parking and the train station is conveniently just around the corner, which made the whole evening stress-free. 👋 The staff could of perhaps provided a more friendly and welcoming experience to the venue. If you're a fan of MJ or just love a good night out, this tribute show is a must-see. Whilst he doesn’t look like MJ if I closed my eyes he did an amazing job at sounding like him 🎶

Amazing staff, they made us so welcome this lunchtime for the Fireman Sam show. What a lovely little theatre, well equipped to cater for little ones with booster seats and helping direct everyone to their seats. They seemed to enjoy the show just as much as the kids too! Thanks again for making it a wonderful experience

Went to watch percy jackson today and it was amazing!!! Although however there was an inconvenient delay in the second half of the performance, still had a spectacular time

This was my first time visiting this venue and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a lovely little theatre with a welcoming feel. The bar area is a good size and I really liked that there were tables and chairs available, rather than having to stand as you often do in many London theatres. Parking was easy, we used Windsor and Eton station car park which is less than a five-minute walk away, making it very convenient. Overall, a great venue and I’d be happy to return.

Aside from the uncomfortable seats, it’s fine. It’s a local theatre with a nice variety of shows. In our three visits, however, we’ve only stayed to the end once. The one time we stayed to the end I had to stand at the back because my legs were cramping up due to the lack of legroom. We left once due to inappropriate content and once because it was too difficult to hear some of the actors. That said, for a local theatre, it’s fine.

Lovely theatre, unfortunately the show we saw, sherlock Holmes, lacked pace, script was obscure and characterisation lacking except for the guy who played lestrad. Really disappointed. The guy next to me fell asleep 4 times.

Superb experience on special day due to F1’’s 75th anniversary. Great to see old F1 cars. Engine noise was music!! Too much to walk around but worth it. Foods available. Even gluten free and veggie, catered for all types of people. Saw legendary Prost driving his 1988 car. See the video.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour which is free for Historic Houses members. We were put in a group of about 12 and our guide was informative and interesting, with a sense of humour. The signage both to the car park and then to the house could be better.

Festival of Speed is a must do event for all petrol heads Too much to see in one day. Will definitely be back for more next year

Festival of speed. 1st ti.e visit and didn't know what to expect. Public car parking you need to be onsite from around 06.15 to get a good space and then join the shorter queue. Any later and you will be queuing in the car park. Gets busy as expected. Great watching the bikes, cars and trucks go up the hill. Made it to the top for the rally stage. Off road truck were awesome and wa the F1 and super car padocks. Great to have a large amount of stalls to walk round, including manufacturers stands with various models you can sit in. We walked about 10 miles on the Saturday. Dust was a big issue as it had been so dry. Food was expensive as you would expect from a large event with captive audience. £25 for a 10" pizza, small piece of garlic bread and a can of drink or £8.50 for 2 scoops of ice cream.

Each year, Festival of Speeds held here is amazing. This year, we had classical Rolls Royce and GMA moment here. The House itself only opens to VIPs who has an invitation. I wish I could be invited some day :)

Utterly incredible stately home, rich history stunning setting see the skill and stories of previous history. Everything set in 12000 acres.

The Festival of Speed is simply world-class awesome!!! And brilliantly organised (though they should be prepared to scan QR codes on phones, rather than print hundreds of thousands of paper tickets!!! What a waste.....

We visited Legoland on a Sunday afternoon and stayed in one of the woodland lodges before a full day in the park. The process of booking the stay was fairly convoluted on the website, but from that point, there were clear instructions and links for all our passes, which were very handy to have on the official app! Sunday in the park was manic and not at all quiet, with 40 min queues for all the main rides (including the underwhelming Dragon rollercoaster). Flight of the sky lion is a great ride, but please sort the queue system out for people with the fast access pass (some of which have paid extra). We waited longer in this queue than people were in the standard entry! I don't think the clearly hungover lad running it could cope with figuring out what to do. The site is quite sprawling and despite there being a train that runs from the entrance into the middle of the park, it isn't always in operation, so prepare for the walk back up the winding hill! Food offerings are standard over-priced fried theme park fare unfortunately, with little imagination in the variety on offer. Breakfast at the woodland lodge clubhouse was fairly decent on the other hand. Our lodge was clean and spacious, with the skylight projector in the kids room being a nice touch. The treasure hunt also went down a treat. You might want to take earplugs though, as the Heathrow flight path is directly above, so sleep was fairly limited to the hours of 11pm -5am. It could be so much better in places, but overall it was still an enjoyable outing that was worth checking out.

Great theme park, I enjoyed the rides, we didn’t wait to wait too long to get onto the rides and there was 2 that we did a couple of times. Kids loved it. The Lego mini land was great, loads to see and a lot of detail gone into it. Food was expensive but always is at these places. We’d happily return!

Bad: Rides waiting time: I'm starting with bad because I want people to first know what they are getting into so they can make a better decision. The rides have massive queues, the resort is not very organised in terms of crowd management. The queues are massive, like there's at least 60 minute of waiting for almost all the rides, unless you have ultimate ride pass forget about managing to do even 3-4 rides in a day. And their opening times are only 10-5, which is definitely not enough for the money you pay. I had ultimate pass and still I couldn't do all the rides and it felt such a stretch - is it worth the money though : absolutely. As we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for any rides. But it's ot for people who can't afford to pay for those passes. Food: If you are vegetarian, forget about eating here, not many options to eat, a Pizza place, that's beyond expensive £23-£24pp - with very limited vegetarian options, a burger place that does serve vegetarian burger, and the waffles place can't handle crowds and they close the shop when they can't handle the load. Face paint: rude staff and poor face painting skills Good: ultimate pass is rhe best way to enjoy the park, we loved all the rides we took. Miniland is awesome and so is their train. Staff is helpful (if you find them).

Visited Legoland with my two kids (1 and 4 years old) and we had a really good day out. Went during school time so there were hardly any queues, which was great! The park was clean and tidy with plenty to see and do to fill the day. Not much for the 1-year-old, but our 4-year-old loved it and went on lots of rides. Overall a fun family day out and would definitely go again when they’re a bit older.

The kids absolutely loved it. It was definitely a fun outing that everyone in our group really enjoyed. The ride times generally seemed to work out pretty well, and you can definitely make a great day out of it if the weather stays nice. The pizza and pasta buffet was efficient and there was plenty of food to go around.

Had a really good time with my 2 daughters. They both enjoyed the experience. Seeing how much stuff was built out of bricks was awesome. Some really good rides. Had to queue a bit but expected on a busy day. Would definitely recommend and 100% come back again

A very nice amusement park. It needs some social spaces/facilities like cafes or restaurants. Theme park is nice. Mini land is very cheerful area. Priority parking is extremely convenient but general parking is a bit far, consider this if you have any mobility difficulties.

Fantastic place to walk the dog/dogs. I highly recommend Alice Holt. There are plenty of walking paths, and cycle paths for all abilities. If you are more adventurous Go Ape is also available here, for tree top fun. For children there are play parks and the Gruffalo walk which includes beautiful carved caricatures from the books. There is also a lovely cafe on site.

Great facilities, marble run is a great new addition but the cafe has gone downhill and isn't a patch on what it used to be. Terrible vegan options and eye watering prices, make sure to bring your own food. Parking is also expensive, but in line with all forestry England sites

Lovely place. Autumn leaves looking gorgeous. Disc Golf was great fun. It was good to have a focus of a 'different' activity - and take exercise at the same time.

Nice place with lots of activities. However, parking is expensive £8 for just over 2 hours!!

Lots of trees, a great little cafe, lots of climbing frame things for kids and adults. It's just a great place to go for a walk or a bike ride.

Family trip in February. Car parking is well organised but not cheap. Great trails and plenty of exploring possible. Facilities are excellent, even with a dog wash station if that’s something for you! Play areas are very good and entertained the children for a good while. Highly recommend this place. Best time is later in the afternoon to miss the crowds.

Absolutely fantastic place. Beautiful scenery and walks designed for all ages with directions so you cannot get lost. Great play trail for the little ones to keep them entertained. Lots of space to park (bit pricey) but it hasn't put me off wanting to go again.

Nice selection of birds, so many pretty varieties that we had never seen before. The parrots and cockatoos were entertaining with their chatter and whistles. There are a couple of walk-through areas where you can get up close to the birds. The main cafe area at the entrance is nice with outdoor seating overlooking the gardens. There is another cafe/kiosk, but this was closed when we visited. They are building a new play area which looks like it's going to be quite large. We spent around 3 hours there slowly walking around. For the kids, there is a dinosaur trail. The car park is large and free. Toilets and baby change areas were clean. There is quite a large gift shop. We had a nice half day wandering around.

Larger than expected but very interesting. There are all sorts of birds and plenty to see. For those with children, there are plenty of play bits for them to play and for those without there are benches where you can sit and watch the birds. The park is accessible for wheelchair users. Visually impaired folk will definitely benefit from taking a sighted guide.

Good place to visit after the upgrade made for kids but could have also added play center for toddler separately. The dinosaurs were good additions. Food-wise need to have more options and for the entry price paid the experience is bit on lower end with the birds. The bird world itself has not been updated fully and they seem old n neglected. Finally the parking facilities are lacking with very small spaces considering most visitors are with toddlers and kids and are of low quality.

I am disabled and cannot walk. Please see the end of the review for the only problem i had. Visited today with my wife daughter and her husband and two granddaughter's. We had a great time loads to see and do the birds are great and well displayed. The granddaughter's loved the play areas. All the staff are great. Helpfull, polite and a credit to bitdworld. on the whole it was easy to get round on a mobility class 3 mobility scooter. I have only one complaint and that there was a problem and that is with the disabled toilets it may not sound much but if you are like me on A Class 3 mobility scooter and cannot walk at all it is impossible sitting on one of those scooters and opening a door towards you. I do wish the people who designed these toilets would actually try to get in there whilst at on a large mobility scooter. It takes away your independence completely when you can't even open the door to get in. To pull a door open and hold it open while you driving is completely impossible. I really really wish that somebody would actually try it to see what I mean. Is bad enough being stuck on one of those things without having to ask a complete stranger to hold the door open for you. Please would one of your staff get hold of one of those scooters and try it.

New park is amazing. The kids loved the activity sheet and the dinosaur trail. Can't wait for the new play barn. Food was fresh and good. Only down side, they do not have a changing table for disabled guests, but we were told we could use the first aid one.

A popular day out for us or even a quick stop after nursery to run off extra energy. We invested in the membership this year and have visited Birdworld very regularly to explore every nook and cranny it has to offer. The bonus features of the dinosaur trail, bird bath and adventure play have been a treat too. There are so many beautiful birds and really helpful information about them to learn and raise awareness of endangered species, as well as regular talks from the team who present it so well. The birds are well looked after and the park is so pretty with greenery, flowers, water features, bird photography and beautiful interactive displays of information. There is lots to do for all ages. The paths are wheelchair and buggy accessible and plenty of loo facilities around the park. Lots of parking space and the check-in process is simple and quick even on busy days. Even when the park is busy it doesn’t feel crowded as there’s lots of space to run around, and benches to sit on.

Perfect for all. Not too long to walk around (you could probably rush it in half hour) took us a couple of hours to see everything, but there's plenty of extra play areas and games to keep kids entertained. Special experiences like feeding the penguins are extra, but well worth it.

Historic Manor House & Grounds. Beautiful manor house set in rolling parkland. The house is a treat, superbly decorated and the parkland is landscaped rather than formal, with a lake and features to explore. We had a lovely visit, thankyou.

Only a few rooms open to the public on the ground floor (the family live in the rest of the house). Large grounds and lake. Steep walk up the hill opposite to the Dashwood family mausoleum.

Beautiful grounds, I went here with my disabled son who loved it. Please make it clear where you expect disabled vehicles to park, I'm very grateful you provide disabled spaces but I was approached by two separate volunteers telling me I had parked on the grass (very naughty) - very simple, just show people driving disabled vehicles where it is you expect them to park. A basic sign on a random tree doesn't help. Thanks.

What a nice surprise! I heard about this place as the filming location of the movie Labyrinth with David Bowie so I was curious to visit. Visited during a beautiful Sunday and it was better than expected. The garden is large and you can have a nice walk around. Wonderful view over the house and some magical bridges. The house is also amazing and very luxurious but you can't take pictures inside which is disappointing. As a NT member, I will definitely visit again as I live nearby.

One of the local gems in the south east & Buckinghamshire area. Im glad we have so many nice national trusts within walking, driving distance and this is the one most local to me. Its always a amazing place to visit and take time to walk around no matter what period or weather. I am a member and im glad my money supports amazing places like this. Well worth a visit

Lovely gem in Old High Wycombe village (the village itself is a walk in the past, beautiful), with a villa, a lake, few streams and glades to walk around. The only thing is that it is open for only 3hrs on a Sunday. Potentially because it is still inhabited, sometimes. We actually met a couple of the heirs, on our way out :)

We Love it here! only spend an hour but was worth it, walk-in, we paid £5 each adult and free for our Little One (1yr/old) also You can park inside as long as its not full, members priority. Parked our car in West Wycombe Car park. Great view indeed! travel back in time, beautiful landscape, Lovely for walks and chill, picnic not allowed though, bring your own water and snack especially those with children, clean as you go bring back food packaging home. Located in a busy intersection road (be careful), Surely we will come back much earlier, that Monday was not busy at all. 4:15PM is the last time they accept people in. No Dogs and No Picnic allowed in the park.

We did the tour and tasting followed by an overnight stay. All of the staff we met were lovely. The grounds and buildings were very well kept. Victoria was a great tour/tasting guide and certainly knew her stuff. We sampled various wines, beers and liqueurs, along with some cheese and crackers to cleanse the pallet between tastings. The farmhouse breakfast was great too!

I recently proposed to my girlfriend at this stunning venue, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting or experience. From start to finish, everything was smooth, beautifully organized, and completely stress-free. Don, the venue owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with- professional, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about making special moments unforgettable. The coordination with our photographer and even the tour guide, Steve, was seamless. Everyone worked together behind the scenes to make the moment magical, and they absolutely delivered. Steve was fantastic, and his knowledge is amazing. The atmosphere was lovely, the setting was picture-perfect, and the entire team made sure everything went off without a hitch. Highly recommend this venue for any special occasion- it truly exceeded all expectations!

Just a note to say we had a fabulous time. Very, very informative, easy to understand and great fun. Having been in hospitality all my life I knew a little about the subject but I left knowing a whole lot more. A great couple of hours, the time flew by. I would recommend the tour to anyone!

We enjoyed the wine tour, better yet we got it half price. It's great to hear the history of the location as we didn't know much about the area before the arrived. Everything was enjoyable from start to finish. 10 stars for the Irish cream liqueur and Blood Orange Liqueur

What a beautiful venue and a very informative presentation and tour by your staff. Forgive me but I can't recall the South African guys name but he made it a very memorable visit with his knowledge and anecdotes. Unfortunately i couldn't fully take part in the tasting session at the end because of having to drive home but plenty of great wines and beers to buy at the end. Happy to support a small but very professional and enterprising business.I would recommend anyone with an interest in wine making and brewing to pay them a visit. A truly memorable visit. Thank you

We had a fantastic afternoon tour yesterday. The chap taking us round was very knowledgeable, the setting was absolutely stunning, and the samples included lovely. We will definitely be returning to spend some time at the bar, and trying the delicious looking food. Many thanks for such a great time.

Just spent the afternoon at this venue with a tour being provided by one of the sommeliers. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the estate, the business and wine and beer making. He then led us expertly through a tasting of three wines, three beers and a liqueur. We then sat in the beautiful courtyard and enjoyed a glass of wine. Recommend a trip to this venue.

Make sure you purchase tickets in advance, because each tour will sell out. Although the docents had us enter in small groups, I wish they kept the crowd flow moving through each room, as it grew very crowded within the rooms themselves. The exhibits are interesting, and it was nice being able to sit in the garden.

I don’t know where to start- am feeling both exhilaration and emotional after visiting Jane Austen’s house earlier today. So to start, absolutely make a booking! We saw folks being turned away or having to comeback like two hours later as slots were booked! It’s a small house and a lot to see / read/ experience and so can understand why the House limits the number of folks that can enter within a twenty minute time slot. Parking is also a bit hard and off-street was our only option. We spent over 3 hours enjoying the various rooms and exhibitions, listen to the audio first and then step into the house. Kudos to the volunteers who help preserve this history. The gardens are lovely as is the opportunity to dress up in period costumes. I feel drunk on happiness to have had the opportunity to visit!

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a sensible traveller in possession of a free afternoon, must be in want of a visit to Jane Austen’s House. Whether one is drawn by the charm of literary devotion or merely in search of a respectable tea-room nearby, the cottage at Chawton cannot fail to supply both instruction and amusement. House and gardens, gift shop and toilets. Friendly and helpful volunteers working in the house. Dressing up optional. Tickets are limited so book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Much of how much you enjoy this museum will depend on your knowledge and appreciation of Jane Austen and her work but even as someone who has not read any of her novels I found the house to be an informative snapshot of her life and of the regency era in general and I commend the curators for their dedication to accurately depicting early 19th century life. Important things to note: the house (and therefore the museum) is small. The operators will only permit small groups (12 max) to enter in twenty minute slots. I highly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

A must see for every Jane Austen fan. The house gives such a good impression of how she lived and little details (like the mousseline dresses on the line outside), make it seem as if she just popped out for an errand. After the visit you can sit in the lovely garden.

Amazing private day tour with Phil Howe from Trip Advisor! Highly recommend this trusted, local guide. He shows you all the best off-the-beaten-path spots culminating in the museum tour. For the ultimate JA fans!

It’s so great this place exists to honor the author and her contributions. The house and the grounds were lovely. The lawn chairs to sit and relax and just enjoy being in the space was phenomenal. My only small preference would be if there was less “of period” pieces and reproductions in the house; i would have preferred to enjoy the house for what it is and the pieces that are authentic to Jane Austen. I just felt myself trying to seek this out and am worried I might have missed some.

Wellington Country Park is a fantastic place for families! Everything is extremely clean and well-maintained, from the walking paths to the restrooms. The whole park is very well-organized, making it easy to navigate and enjoy a full day of activities. The campsite is especially impressive, peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by nature. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway. Facilities are spotless and the staff are always friendly and helpful. There’s so much to do for kids! The adventure playgrounds, splash zone, mini railway, and animal area kept our children entertained for hours. They didn’t want to leave! Highly recommended for families with young children, and the campsite makes it even better if you want to turn your visit into a short holiday. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We attended Wellington Park’s Halloween event, HalloWellyWeen, earlier this month and absolutely loved it! The entire park was beautifully decorated with spooky Halloween themes throughout. The train ride was definitely the highlight — it featured different scenes along the route, including a couple of smoky tunnels that the kids thought were amazing. The train staff were fantastic too, keeping everyone entertained and excited. We also watched the Halloween show, which had the kids in stitches — they thought it was hilarious! There were plenty of playgrounds for them to burn off energy, opportunities to feed the animals, marshmallow toasting, and lots more to enjoy. We arrived around midday and still couldn’t fit everything in, so I’d definitely recommend coming as early as possible to make the most of it. The event is excellent value for money. There were also several food and coffee stalls dotted around, which kept us warm and well-fed. Overall, we had a brilliant time and will definitely be back again next year for HalloWellyWeen! 🎃

We camped in the temporary holiday site over the bank holiday weekend and had an absolute blast in beautiful surroundings with friends. The children loved the splash park, sandpit play and all the playgrounds spotted around the park. Wellington is a brilliant sunny day activity with lots to keep children entertained. However, had we paid for our family of 3 to enter at full price, it would have been £75 and I don’t think it’s worth that price compared to similar attractions. They’re also missing a trick with food around the park too. The main cafe has some good (expensive) options, but if they elevated food with more choices in the other areas we’d have spent a lot more money rather than bringing our own food in that was the same as their offering.

The reason for only 2 stars is because of the price £25 per ticket, meant for a family of 4, 2 adults, 2 children the entry was £100!! I really don't know how the can justify that amount. Plus you have to pay extra for things inside the park. Food in the cafe was also HUGELY over priced for what it was The park itself is good, clean tidy, the kids loved the splash park, but I still can't get past the price, so unless the prices were dropped I really don't think it is value for money.

The park and location are beautiful and couldn't ask for a better nature experience with the antler pens and feeding the animals at the animal farm, however, we stayed at the campsite and had 3 nights of an awful experience. The pitches we had - 53-54 - were close to the facilities which had florescent lighting on all night and the oldest, loudest hand dryer known to mankind be blasted all day and all night by all campers, creating a horrible sleeping experience

Fantastic place for family day with kids. Many kids activities, good coffee, nice nature, professional and friendly staff.

We went to WCP yesterday (5th October) with some friends and children. It was absolutely fantastic. You can easily spend an entire day there and not get bored; there is so much to do/see. We particularly enjoyed the train ride and the gentleman that was driving the train was so friendly and great with the kids. It was really good value for the tickets as well - note we had off peak prices - not sure what full price like. Will definitely be back. Kids are age 3.

Reading train station is a very busy train station that is served by Cross Country trains the Elizabeth line, GWR and Southwestern trains. The station is big with a number of entrances and exits here the concourse is large and wide with food outlets benches and toilets. The ticket hall area is large and wide with a number of ticket barriers to use here there is plenty of staff around to help. The station was clean and tidy when I came here and there is up to 15 platforms here.

This town has so much potential! Website catalytic not to look far off. Reading tocould be a gateway to England's southwest coast. But despite such great people here it could use a jet wash. Every exterior surface. A preponderance of graffiti, grime , wear&tear. The bus service is the best with superior drivers! Award winning drivers. Great bus app! Great train station both the Elizabeth Line & National Rail.

Providing links to pretty much anywhere in the country. A major hub for both business and pleasure. Its convenience of being situated in the city centre adds to its importance for both local and national residents. The station is reasonably tidy compared to many other stations. There are also cafes,takeaways, toilets and even a pub.

Good station overall. Well-organised and easy to navigate. There’s a bit of walking between platforms, which is expected in a large station, but nothing inconvenient. Trains to London are always in the same place, so it’s straightforward to find your way around.

Fifteen platforms, some of which are subdivided into A's and B's. Reading is a big station. I've no idea why I'm telling you both my feet and my back were hurting before I got there and after I left but my feet and back were hurting. I only went to Reading 'cos a train I was supposed to board was cancelled, it was not a planned visit, it just sort of crept up on me. A friend who once lived in Reading told me it smelled funny. I had a good sniff as I waited on platform 8B but all my nostrils detected was the whiff of choo-choos. I've never objected to how they smell, in fact I reckon it's a nice smell. Does that make me strange? Or am I just strange regardless of that? The train not standing at platform 8B is not there 'cos we've moved it to platform 9. They tried to catch me out. They failed.

Changed at this station to get to north camp i had a wait between trains wich was good as didn't haft to rush anywhere this is a modern station with toilets on platforms with waiting rooms perfect for over winter times there is escalators and lifts from each platform i have only ever used this station twice well 2 return trips but always had good experiences and staff has always been helpful when asking them wear i need to go for contacting train

One of the biggest and busiest railway stations in the UK outside of London, it serves as a major junction for services between London, the West Country, South Wales, and the North. The station is has multiple entrances and exits with lifts, and escalators to all platforms, not to mention, most of times one or the other lifts will be out of order and very crowded during peak hours. There are real-time train information available downstairs and upstairs. The trains from here generally don't get delayed but gets cancelled all the time, so check before you travel. There are variety of shops, cafes, and waiting areas(in every platforms). The station also has a large ticket hall with automated machines, making purchasing or collecting tickets quick and straightforward. Additionally, there are restrooms and baby-changing facilities. Thee station's  is modern and spacious. The staffs are very helpful in case you need assistance. Clean restrooms and pathways. There is also information centres in both the levels.

I really loved this site. It was so tranquil on an early Saturday morning. The estate walks are beautiful. The walled garden is amazing - one of the best I've seen and I've seen a lot of them. The wisteria must look stunning when in bloom. House is very pretty and someone was playing the piano and it really made the visit even more pleasant.

A wonderful little place to spend the afternoon. The walk around the garden was lovely. Autumn blooms out in force. Not many people around so seemed peaceful. The house is compact but plenty to see and take in. Volunteers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Biscuits that were cooked in the kitchen as we passed through were delicious. Shop and tea room were accessible and had standard NT fayre. The second hand bookshop was small but plenty of choice. All staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back here. Highly recommended.

The house and gardens were beautifully decorated and Christmassy, very friendly volunteers who were very happy to show us around. We ended in the coffee shop, we had some hot drinks, yummy brownies and pasties, the staff made us feel very welcome. All and all, we had a very relaxing few hours.

An interesting house and different to a number.of other houses we have been to. The rooms are more 20th century so an interesting insight into the family home and kitchen. The gardens were lovely, even though it is October but I will be back in Spring and summer when they will be at their best!

A beautifully preserved National Trust property with a warm, lived-in feel. The interiors are charming and full of character — especially the kitchen and library. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A peaceful spot for a slow afternoon, and the garden is lovely too. Highly recommended if you’re near Henley-on-Thames!

Wonderful house and Gardens. Rich history going back 1000 years, 1066 and the war. Lots of unusual plants and trees to see. Visit the green house and walled garden. There is a garden shop. Plenty of free car parking. Nice cafe with good selection of hot and cold food. Plenty of seating i door and outdoors.

Very peaceful and relaxing property with beautiful and interesting gardens and well presented 1930s furnished house. Knowledgeable volunteers were on hand and a pianist playing in the drawing room. It would have been good if there had been a kids activity trail but a good members experience nonetheless.
