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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I got married here back in 2016 from start to finish Vicky and staff made everything as smooth as possible polite and friendly and what a beautiful day we all had to celebrate my special day. Would Highly recommend anyone to consider this outstandingly beautiful manor house for any occasion as I'm sure it will exceed any expectation. 5* all around.

Llancaiach Fawr Manor exceeded all expectations! The historical charm and well-preserved architecture create an immersive experience. The knowledgeable staff's passion for history brings each room to life, making the visit educational and enjoyable. The beautiful gardens and scenic surroundings add to the overall enchantment. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking a delightful day out.

This experience was exceptional. The actors who really stayed in character throughout the visit at the Manor were entertaining, professional, and a joy to watch and listen to. The Manor was outstanding with so much beauty and detail. I would highly recommend a visit here and will definitely be returning at some point.

I highly recommend this amazing manor house. The tour guides are fully in character as authentic servants of the house and they never break character. They are charming and entertaining and highly knowledgeable about every aspect of life in this grand manor house.

A big thank you to the actors who stayed in character throughout our entire visit. My grandchildren were enthralled and horrified at the same time. They brought the past to life with engaging stories and wit. A fun day out, highly recommended, we took a picnic and enjoyed it in the grounds. The sun shone down on our very happy afternoon.

What an interesting place! The Manor House staff are in period dress and speaking old English, they are very knowledgeable about the house and the local area. Nice restaurant and the food was really good. Very enjoyable visit.

Went for Sunday lunch and was disappointed by the inflexibility and lack of hospitality. The fact we rang a couple hours in advance to book a table for Sunday lunch and they had "plenty of space" should have been a big clue. Firstly, you must have all three courses - you cannot opt for anything other than the three. OK, fine, if needs must, but then if you're enforcing this you need to have plenty of options. There were just 2 options for starters - soup or sausages. Secondly, I disliked the only soup they offered so went for the sausages. I thought eating sausages for a starter was bizarre so asked for them alongside my main (treating them as a substitute for 'pigs in blankets' felt less bizarre). But alas this was too much trouble for them to achieve, that was a no from them. My mum then asked for all roasted potatoes as she doesn't eat new potatoes, but apparently this too was too much trouble for them to attempt. Another no. Thirdly, both my parents drink were wrong. And on being asked 'What lagers do you have?' the waitress couldn't say - guessing a couple which included an ale and a cider - not lagers. I went for the only lager she could correctly recall. Finally, the service was slow. At least 20 minutes went by between us finishing our mains and them clearing the table and taking our (mandatory) dessert order. It also took around 10 minutes standing at the counter to pay due to 4 people in the queue in front of us also paying but mostly as a result of their strange bill-paying system. I expected better and was very disappointed with their inflexibility and hospitality and shan't be returning any time soon. On a plus note the dinner was well done - good quality meat, yummy cauliflower cheese and a rich gravy. A shame the hospitality couldn't match the food.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Caerleon Roman Baths was one of the weaker CADW sites we have visited. It was interesting enough, but the information on the baths was weak and not presented well. They have a video playing over the bath to show water effects and people swimming (see my videos posted with the review). Looks okay, but could have been so much better with better effects, scaled more human like people, they were about 9 feet tall and had odd body shapes, etc. The wall board says men and women never bathed together and then you turn around and the image of 2 people swimming in the bath is a man and woman. Again, the info wasn’t presented well. Also the staff weren’t great. They were friendly enough but didn’t seem to know much about it and didn’t seem to want to actually talk to anyone. There was an interesting cavern under the pools that was the old drain from the pools. There is water in it today, probably ground water seeping through. The main water for the baths came from 5 miles away, amazing the work they put into the baths. The other thing that is super neat but not explained well is the heating for the hot room. It had a raised floor and they somehow used the hot air and smoke from a fire to funnel through under the floor and heat the room. Pretty amazing those Romans!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The garden covers 10 acres, and was the creation of its prior owner, Roger Parr, and his head gardener, William Boulter. The adjoining house is used as a nursing home and is not open to the public. Great if you're a National Trust member, but to be honest, we don't think you would be too happy paying £8.50 for entry. Dogs are welcome. The ruins of a Roman temple possibly associated with a high-status Roman villa, which may have connections to the nearby Roman town of Magnis, lie inside the Weir Garden by the River Wye 😊, it was a nice morning walk through the garden though, a nice walled Garden as well. Parking is right by the entrance.

Nice little wander to have, not huge but beautiful and you can buy some local produce. Lovely that they have tried to incorporate things for the kids to so. Our dog loved joining us on our adventure

An absolutely stunning place. This is one for all, including a dog! There is a respectable playground for young ones to enjoy alongside a trail of factual and fun information. The walk itself is beautiful, a lovely place to have lunch and admire the views. There is a walled garden that allows you to take some fruit and veg via a donation. There is a steady amount of car park space, and the worker at the kiosk was informative and friendly. There is also a selection of books that are available to purchase for a cheap amount!

Lovely dog walk on a hot day, wandered amongst large trees along the riverside. Sat on deckchairs overlooking the Wye river and had a picnic. Very relaxing

Very tranquil place, right alongside the river. Stunning views across Herefordshire. Beautiful garden that frlt very natural. I took my elderly parents and there were a few paths that were difficult for them due to tree roots and not being wide enough or level. Didn't have the time to do the walled garden, we're saving it for the next visit.

Great places lovely views the only bad things are signs are hard to see and nowhere to get a drink or snacks but they do have toilets

Another lovely couple of hours here. Just a note to get down and back up to the riverside if you go down the steps is very steep. And don't forget to visit the walled garden before you leave. There are toiler facilities but no cafe incase you hoped for one.

We visited 1pm and found the map enlightening and bigger than expected. It was a shame we couldn't hear the audio describing it 🙁 due someone talking to loudly.. The persons voice just echoed everywhere!! We ended up asking said person to try and lower his voice.. To little avail.. I think a gently reminder at reception asking the public to keep noise to a minimum, might atleast help.

Incredibly well preserved medieval map of the world! Includes a 3D copy and English translated version. Volunteer staff were incredibly knowledgeable and really enhanced the experience. So very rare, you should absolutely make it part of your visit to the Cathedral. Ticket price per adult was £7.50 at the time of visiting but also included entry to the chained library, another unique exhibit! Lovely coffee shop on site with pretty outdoor seating on dry days. WC's are also available.

The Hereford Mappa Mundi is a large medieval world map, created around 1300. It's a unique example of how people in the 13th century understood the world, blending geographical knowledge with religious beliefs and mythical narratives. The map is drawn on a single sheet of vellum and is notable for its central location of Jerusalem, the depiction of biblical events, and inclusion of classical myths and fantastical creatures. Fascinating.

Got absolutely absorbed in the Mappa Mundi. A great insight into the religious thinking of it's day. A helpful volunteer helped to illuminate our experience. The chained library was interesting as well, but of course you cannot removed the books 📚 🔒. Recommended. £7.50 entry fee but we must have stayed for nearly 2 hours.

Absolute amazing exhibition! Although quite small, there is plenty to explore and well explained. As a student of medieval language and literature, it's been so exciting to see all the artefacts displayed there - and, of course, especially the beautiful Mappa Mundi. Special thanks go to the staff members there. You all brightened up the exhibition so much, with your kindness, your knowledge, and passion! I really had a great time there: 100% recommended!

Really interesting exhibition and lots of well thought out presentation pieces to bring it to life. Great volunteers too

Just experienced the wonder of Hereford Cathedral's Mappa Mundi, and it's simply awe-inspiring! This medieval map of the world is not just a piece of history but a window into the past. The intricate details and the stories behind each illustration truly bring history to life. It's amazing to think about the minds that created it centuries ago. A visit to Hereford Cathedral wouldn't be complete without marveling at this incredible piece of cartographic history!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is my second time at the Tintern Abbey, the Abbey sits on the border between England and Wales but on the Welsh side. I loved it here both times, this time they also had a trail for children to follow and uncover facts. Highly recommend a visit to Tintern Abbey if you are nearby or even passing through to Wales. With rich history, and amazing views, don't miss out.

I’ve driven past Tintern Abbey countless times over the years, always admiring its setting but never quite stopping - maybe because from the outside, it just looked like a quiet ruin with not much going on inside. But I finally made the visit, and I’m so glad I did. The moment I stepped into the church nave, everything shifted. The soaring arches and the magnificent west front with its seven-light window are breathtaking. It’s hard to believe this place was stripped bare after the dissolution in 1536, left to decay for centuries before being rediscovered by artists and poets like Wordsworth and Turner in the 18th century. You can see why they were drawn to it - the ruins are hauntingly beautiful. For just £9, it’s a deeply worthwhile visit. The abbey’s location in the lush Wye Valley adds to the magic, and there’s a convenient pay-and-display car park plus a pub nearby if you want to make a day of it. If you’ve ever passed it thinking “just another ruin,” I’d say don’t wait as long as I did. It’s far more than that.

A very nice side trip. I'm not sure it is worth travelling a long distance for. There are some nice places to see in the small town. Parking is refunded if you enter the abbey. Tickets were £18 for 2 adults.

A beautiful place to visit with some very interesting history and some significant preservation challenges. It was a weekday afternoon with very few people around which made sitting, in what was the original church hall and the surrounding grounds, and incredibly peaceful experience. There was a lot of scaffolding up and areas cordened off as they fight to save the crumbling building but it is still well worth a visit. A local pub make parking and grabbing a drink afterwards easy

What a wonderful abbey. Well worth a visit and a nice short walk through the village and over the bridge. How on earth did they build such structures so long ago! Must be the power of religion 🤔🤔

It is a fantastic place. Very imposing in a peaceful area. I realise renovation works are crucial, but over the building is closed off. Not sure the entrance price reflects that.

Magnificent ruins, quite well interpreted. In a setting that's beautiful even in mid November. The staff are very friendly in the ticket office/shop and also in the tea room. I was glad to congratulate the baker of the cakes in person.

We had an amazing day at Ludlow Castle! Originally built around 1075 by Walter de Lacy after the Norman Conquest, this castle has so much history. Over the years, it became one of the most important castles in the Marches, even hosting Prince Edward (one of the “Princes in the Tower”) and Prince Arthur with Catherine of Aragon. It was also the seat of the Council of the Marches before falling into ruin after 1689. One of the highlights for us was the Norman Chapel of St Mary Magdalene — it’s so unique with its round nave! After centuries of decay, it was lovingly restored and re-roofed in 2019 with help from English Heritage. It’s great to see such an iconic landmark preserved for future generations. We also climbed the tower and were rewarded with stunning views of Ludlow town, the lush surroundings, and Dinham Bridge. The castle grounds are peaceful, and there’s a nearby reservoir that adds to the charm. The on-site café is a perfect spot to grab a coffee or snack and relax. Ludlow itself is lovely — friendly, welcoming, and full of character. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking for a mix of history, nature, and a relaxing day out. Entry Prices: Child (5–15 years): £4 Adult (16+ years): £9 Family (2 adults, up to 4 children): £25 Children under 5: Free

I would recommend visiting the castle to everyone. We watched a battle reenactment which was very entertaining and there were tents teaching you about what life would have been like such as forging arrows, playing instruments, cooking, etc. There is so much of the castle that you can explore too which I enjoyed the most. I find often you can see a couple of room but here there seemed endless parts to explore, all with informative posts educating you about the castle. There are various staircases you can climb for incredible views across Ludlow and the surrounding area. There's also a gift shop with a very nice gallery of paintings for sale. You could spend a few hours here easily.

Love Ludlow, especially in beautiful Autumn sunshine. Lunch at Harp lane deli was gorgeous, walnut and stilton tart was delicious! The castle looked magnificent, gleaming in the sunshine too. We were a bit late for the lovely market as they were packing up,but a lovely afternoon.

Incredible aura about this place, you really do feel the history as you walk around. I took my 3 year old and she absolutely loved it. Some great walks, great views. Take a picnic and eat in the grounds if the weather is nice. If you go to the top turrets, be mindful with the kids as the stairs are old, very steep and enclosed. Safe footing but take care. Small kiddies need to be carried which can be tricky, but we'll both rhe view from the top. There is a lovely river that runs nearby, lovely walks. Would highly recommend but another place that once you have been you probably wouldn't go back.

Didn't expect a lot as it's a ruin but it was great. Spent a good two hours there exploring and could have stayed longer if the weather had been better. Castle and Ludlow town are definitely worth a visit!

Great castle to explore with staircases up to some great views of the town. Private owned castle so had pay for entry, which was a shame as we are a cadw, English heritage and National Trust members. Weddings are held here so waiting for the bride to enter was fun 🤔 guessing what she would be wearing 😂😂

Awesome scenery, quiet and serene. Views from the top of the valley and the river highly recommend. Have a local ice cream and stroll across the river on Dinham bridge. Saw a nice medieval village and war of the roses enactment in the castle grounds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lovely Church, busy great feel. Recomend 201 step walk up the tower. Listened to music recital. Excellent.

I am not religious but do like a nice church - and this is a nice church. People were really friendly. Cafe looked amazing (although I had just eaten elsewhere). And we were there when a group were practising medieval music on antiquarian instruments. Generally a loverly peaceful interlude to a holiday break in Ludlow.

Amazing place, fantastic architecture and wood carvings amongst many things. There is a dog friendly coffee shop within. The people who are running this establishment are friendly, inviting and informative.

Nice church well decorated inside. Visited when they had a special event (pianos musician playing) which made it special. Besides that, has a unique feature of a corner for kids, with tables, sofas and lots of toys, which I was not expecting but is quite nice.

Beautiful and quiet place, had an amazing time climbing up the famous Ludlow Tower as well. The views are well worth the small fee.

What a place to visit. Just inside of town and spectacular church. Had plenty of rebuild. I always take a moment to think of others, light a candle.

This is a stunning church,known as the cathedral of the marches well worth a visit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brilliant day out for all ages. There is so much to see and do.Great information give ever where ,you can buy a very good guide book with all the information about the ship and docks yard.There is a dry dock, dock museum, Brunel museum the surrounding dock yard and best of all the ship.There are 3 main decks to explore. The staff are really lovely and can answer all your questions. There is a small cafe on the ship whit is very nice.Thete are toilets on the ship,in the museum and the shop.The museums are packed full of items related to the ship and Brunel .There is a well stocked shop and a cafe by the shop.You can use your tickets to return for a year.We spent about 5 hours exploring everything. I might recommend a vist

It was a great experience! The museum is absolutely stunning, especially the ship with the realistic figures — it truly takes your breath away. The lady dressed in the old-fashioned gown was amazing! I’ve visited the place twice, and each time I discover something new. Don’t forget to explore under the ship — I did that on my second visit — and above the ship, which I saw the first time. Totally worth visiting! 🚢✨

We visited here two years ago and wer impressed then, this visit did nothing to diminish that feeling. We really enjoyed the history of the Historic Dockyard and the SS Great Britain. The staff and volunteers are amazing and really friendly, plus the information they provided us was really interesting. The way it is layed out was very fluid allowing you to see an experience the life of this ship and the LIfe of Brunel. A must see when you visit Bristol.

You like ships and you enjoy history, so you're visiting right? Do, its worth it. Start in the shop, worth a peruse, then down and walk around the hull but with a little twist, you're under water or are you...? Worth mentioning, very humid in here but needs to be. Then, into the main museum and the history, not going to spoil the story here but interesting. Wind your way up and then onto the ship itself. Apparently, could house up to 700 passengers,good luck working out where they all slept! All in all,very enjoyable and would definitely bring the grandkids next time. Enjoy!

Awesome museum with friendly knowledgeable staff. The ship itself is an awesome sight to see and the information provided by both the museum and the Brunel museum really helps you approacciate how revolutionary his vessel was at the time and see the genius of it's designer. A fine example of British engineering at its best. Access to the ship is good including for wheel chairs and children although I would be careful in the lower steerage class areas as the floors are not that level. The fact you can return on one ticket for 12 months shows great value. Parking is practically next door to the ship although remember Bristol has signed up to the clean air charge so expect to be charged for visiting and bringing money to the city.

I really enjoyed visiting this museum. SS Great Britain was the first iron-hulled screw-propelled steamship in history. Isembard Kingdom Brunel, the architect of the ship was a very talented Victorian engineer who certainly left his mark, especially in Bristol. The Clifton Suspension Bridge was also designed by Brunel...

My partner and I had a great day out at the SS Great Britain. Despite both of us growing up near Bristol we had never visited before, but will definitely be back (and bringing all our friends and family!). The ship itself is so impressive and has a very immersive atmosphere. Steerage stole the show for us! We also enjoyed the Being Brunel museum - the carriage ride simulation was another highlight. Would also recommend stopping by the cafe at The Board Walk for a delicious latte and slice of cake. Finally, a big thanks to the volunteers on board the ship who took the time to talk us through the history of the ship's various voyages and 'eras' - their passion was infectious! Top tip - book your tickets in advance online to save a few pennies 🙌🙌🙌

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gorgeous views and not too physically challenging with a short walk from the car park right into the hills with a choice or concrete paths around the hills or more rocky, stone paths up and over the peaks

Beautiful place. One of the best hikes. There are several walking paths to reach up to the hills.

Escape the noise and pollution of the Cities and towns, of Human beings and head to the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire for breathtaking views. BE NURTURED BY NATURE Highly recommended 👑👑👑👑👑

Wonderful place if you fancy a hike but don't want to climb a real mountain. It feels like a walk and you end up on the highest peak point of the hills. Sheep and yalk farm alongside. And stunning view of the towns on mountain foothills. Bring umbrella or rainsuit according to the weather as there's no shelter in case it rains or even if there are clouds. Because you eventually climb up into the clouds themselves.

We parked at west England quarry car park. And went up. First, we went up the smallest hill. It was really easy. But rocky to get back down 🪨. And then it was quite a walk to get to the Worcestershire Beacon. To get up to Worcestershire Beacon, it’s really steep at first, but when you get to this path, it’s easy. You can either go around or straight up another steep bit. I went up the steep bit so I can get more fit and have good muscles. Overall, it’s great to go if you’re an experienced walker. But you can still do it if you’re a beginner (like me) and you should come here if you’re local!

The Malvern Hills are listed as an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty". After a visit you will see why. Spectacular views to be had, overlooking Worcestershire on one side, and Herefordshire on the other. You can also see into the neighbouring County of Gloucestershire and also into Wales! You need to be pretty fit, and sure footed to scale the hills. It is quite a challenge to anyone who is pretty fit. There are several places to enter the Hills. One of the most popular being "British Camp". there is a good sized car park there. You do have to pay, but I'm not sure of how much? The Hills are lovely to visit at any time of year. No restrictions as to when you can and can't go. No charges. all free except for parking your car. Plenty of information about on various websites, for walks, views, entrance points etc. Dog friendly too. To walk from end to end is about 10 miles. When I was at school we did it every year as a sponsored walk. You will need most of a whole day to do it. Well worth it if your fitness is up to it.

Beautiful place to visit, Beautiful views and a lovely walk.

Beautiful gardens. Especially in autumn with all the autumnal colours. I would think it is stunning through all of the seasons. Very well maintained with lots of interesting information about trees dotted about. I learnt a few things. There is a 2000 year old lime tree that doesn’t look that old. I found that fascinating. Very good for children. You walk along a lovely wooden bridge amongst the tops of the trees. It’s a bit cheaper to go in the week than at the weekend. You can buy a membership that is well worth it if you intend to go a few times. It was busy so it seems it is very popular there. Lots of parking. You can’t do it all in one visit so we will definitely be going again. They also do concerts there.

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

We visited in late October—and wow, it was absolutely breathtaking. You honestly can’t imagine how beautiful a forest can be until you see this place. The colors, the atmosphere, everything felt straight out of a painting. Totally worth the trip.

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

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

The trees at the arboretum were amazing but a part from the trees there is no much more to see. I do appreciate that arboretums are for trees mainly but other parks I have visited before offer more interesting features such as sculptures, ponds, pagodas and other types of focal point that make the experience more memorable and unique. The map provided was not easy to read, so finding your way around was challenging .The entrance price was very steep at £21, so no much value for money.

Perfect day out in a beautiful environment. We have 2 dogs and there’s areas to let the dogs off, walk them on the lead as well as areas dogs aren’t allowed. There are literally miles of pathways to walk along. An autumn visit means you get to see all the beautiful colours- there’s a fabulous walkway through the trees that gives stunning views over the parkland - which has a lot of interesting facts for both adults and children. The food deserves a special mention - there’s a separate bbq station as well as the main restaurant with a great choice if you are gluten free or vegetarian.

This must be one of the most beautiful Cathedrals that I have visited. You can feel the history as you walk round. There are a number of wonderful chapels throughout. The vaulted ceiling is stunning as well as the stained glass windows. I would recommend going up to the whispering gallery. The views down into the Cathedral really worth it and tovaee the magnificent organ up close.

We really enjoyed visiting Gloucester Cathedral.The construction began in 1089 the Nave was completed in 1130.Over the centuries mor parts were added with different architectures styles. A magnificent building and it's said to be one of the finest ecclesiastical building in the UK.We really enjoyed ambling around the ethereal cloisters(a special treat for Harry Potter fans) and the beautiful stained glass windows

The Cathedral and its grounds are amazing. Entry is free but they recommend a donation and there are two tours that do cost extra. They are the crypt and highlights tour. We went on the crypt tour and our guides Peter and Graham were excellent. There are many hidden gems here and the staff and clergy we met were excellent. A great few hours can be spent here, it is very disabled friendly and there is a suprise for the Harry Potter fans.

Poppy Fields by Luxmuralis - Premium Experience Great experience. A premium ticket allowed us fast track entry (it was raining, so this was much appreciated) & a faster entry to the 1st experience. It also allowed access to an upstairs section which had good views, plus a cheeky glass of sparkling wine. The cathedral looked lovely lite up. Great experience overall & a good reminder of the sacrifices made during war & that peace is better than war.

Absolutely stunning. Voluntary donation to get in £5 or £10 for a family. Harry potter was filmed here it's stunning 😍 well worth a visit. We met up with friends and kids from ages 2 to 13 had an amazing day. So much to see and the architecture is truly breathtaking, there is 12pm prayers, you can light candles and so many interactive things. Wheelchair friendly and also visually impaired friendly (blind and deaf) absolutely brilliant day out.

Visited this amazing cathedral which holds the tomb of Edward II among others. Having visited Westminster abbey this was just as impressive. It was a pleasure to visit, and not to be missed. We did find parking available and entry to the abbey is via donation.

What a magnificent building! I can't emphasis how must have this cathedral is. Search for top 10 facts about it, learn about its history and enjoy visiting. If you are a history lover, you need at least three hours (maybe five for a best visit) to completely appreciate the whole visiting experience. Would highly recommend donating as it costs a lot to maintain this fascinating building.

A mixed bag. The drive round is hit and miss, as with any zoo/ animal attraction. Animals are their own boss and you can't predict when or if they will make an appearance which means you aren't guaranteed to see them. Not feeding the animals anymore is the right decision for the park but also means animals are less likely to come up to you. We paid extra for the safari tour so we did get to go closer than If we were in a car and had the knowledge of Tim telling us all about the different animals. Road has alot of pot holes so please be wary of that! The actual park is a bit dated now but the rides are still fun for the youger ones. The ice age walk and dinosaurs could do with a bit of TLC due to wear tear and weather damage. Hopefully the money they get from the lodges (approximately 500 for 2 adults per night)will be out back into the animals and actual attractions. All the staff were lovely, friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Take your own packed lunch. Food is expensive and overpriced. For the sake of 45 minutes I'd drive the extra and go to Dudley zoo personally.

We had an absolutely brilliant time at West Midlands Safari Park! I went with my family and from start to finish it was a perfect day. The safari drive-through was amazing — we got so close to the animals, and they all looked really healthy and well cared for. The lions, giraffes and rhinos were the highlights for us, and the staff along the route were friendly, helpful and clearly passionate about what they do. After the safari, we spent the afternoon in the theme park and it was just as good. There was something for everyone — fun rides for the kids, a few thrill rides for the grown-ups, and plenty of places to stop and relax in between. The whole site was clean, well organised and full of energy, and we never felt rushed or crowded. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the animals and the visitor experience. My family left with huge smiles and lots of great memories — we’re already planning our next visit! If you’re looking for a full day out that combines adventure, learning and fun for all ages, I can’t recommend West Midlands Safari Park highly enough. A solid 10 out of 10!

Get to see the animal in their own environment and you are inside your car . The entrance to lion, hyena, tiger, are all controlled thru electrified gates and reminded of Jurassic park !! The giraffe can be fed. Cottages are there for weekend stays and relax in a serene atmosphere. One feels very near to nature and animals . Kids will enjoy the Jurassic times , ice age, reptiles. stalls for food , snacks, coffee, gift items are there. A must visit place either children

I went with my family, my parents and my partner so as 4 adults. It was really great, I have always heard of such good things about this safari park and have been excited to visit for a long time, and it was really impressive and lived up to expectations. I have visited both Knowsley and Longleat before, and they were both impressive in their own right. What West Midlands Safari Park did best that made them different, was the lack of queues, the way the routes in the enclosures we laid out so you could get really close to the animals whilst the animals remained safe, some of their enclosures were huge and i absolutely loved just how much the park had to offer with all of these extra events, shows, talks and the walking part - we didn’t quite realise just how much the park would have to explore and adventure and we wish we had arrived earlier to truly experience it all. The staff were amazing, at every point they were kind, informative, friendly and helpful, a few initiated some small talk which really showed they cared, that they were passionate about the animals and their work, it made my day and really cheered me up just how nice everyone was. I will definitely be visiting again, considering just how much there is to enjoy the price is worth it. I really loved just how up close and personal we could get with the animals and my only complaint would be I wish there were more signage, it was confusing where we needed to go at certain points and we nearly missed the tigers during the drive thru and would’ve been great if they had their own dedicated space without having to look through bars or the plastic viewing points, and we sadly didn’t get to see the cheetah however I’m aware they are very shy animals so I can’t blame them! The animals we did get to see were amazing, I loved feeding the giraffes, I loved the sea lion show and how passionate the staff were, I loved seeing both the tiger on the drive thru feeding and the lions on the walk ripping at bones. I feel like we were very lucky with everything we got to see, and I love that there’s Dholes, I have never seen a Dhole in person before and I don’t know any other parks that have them, I found them the most exciting part of my trip just because I’ve always wanted to see a Dhole and I didn’t realise they were here :) I would love more merchandise specifically tailored and made for the park! Such as artwork, and anything to do with the Dholes c: I loved all the recycled plushies however and we got one of each thing that had been branded by West Midlands Safari park, we like to get souvenirs as memories specifically tailored to each park we have visited, and it’s our way of supporting the park.

All you could spect from a salary park that takes cares of animals and also visitors. Well organised, cleaned and very friendly staff. Animals look healthy and well take care ok. There are some rare species like white lions and large anacondas. Particularly amazed by the bats room where the animals fly arround. Food was also good in the Dyno Diner.

Great zoo. Ample space for the animals who roam a large area looking very happy. This location has a drive through safari as well as a walk through part, similar to a normal zoo. Lovely variety of animals often very close to the road. Food options are available in the zoo. Great sea lion show. Amazing theming. A large proportion of the zoo is also a theme park with lots of rides. Lots of huts you can stay in near the drive through safari. Good zoo with large paddocks.

We were totally thrilled with everything, the lodge was charming with huge windows that the tigers came right up to….. one looking deep into my eyes! I was excited for 48 hours. The meals were excellent too . I would recommend it to anyone who loves tigers as I do. I’ve waited 75 years to get so close,and Naresh gave me an enormous thrill.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fantastic day out, the journey along the line is wonderful, there is plenty to keep the enthusiast and someone looking for a good day out interested. Will be going back and still a lot to see and do. Would recommend investing the parking first, it's incredibly limited at Kidderminster and if you need special parking needs you may be a little ok let down but there is also the main station carpark next door

The Severn Valley Railway is a great affordable heritage Railway 🛤 steaming between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. We had a marvellous time, having lunch in Bridgnorth and walking around the Castle 🏰 Gardens and Thomas Telford's church ⛪️ where we were made to feel very welcome and had tea, coffee ☕️ and biscuits. A grand day out!

Had a truly lovely day today. 12/6/25. We had my Fathers ashes scattered here today in a lovely area along the journey. The staff were so kind and caring towards us. They gave us pride of place at the front of the first carriage behind the engine in our own private area. We had a lovely cup of tea along the way. All the staff on the station and the engine driver and fireman and train staff were very informative and very kind lovely people. Thankyou all for helping to give my father the send off he wished for!

Visited the SVR for a trip on the magnificent flying Scotsman with my neighbour & his brother. we all had a great day out. thanks to all the SVR polite staff.

Great place to visit, like going back in time, beautiful scenery along the way and some lovely places to stop off at, Arley has been our favourite stop so far!! Just be careful when parking your car the severn valley railway parking is to the right as you drive in not the main Kiddiminster train station parking! got fined for parking in the wrong area!!!

Well worth a visit, we had a great day visiting the station shop, and having a trip on the SVR to Bridgenorth. Also called at Highly to visit the visitors centre, a great café and an amazing museum. Dropped of at Arley for a quick walk to the Arley Arboretum puckibg up an iiceceam on the way🫠👍

Excellent steam train trip. Nice scenery and the stations are great and full of history.
