We had heard about this nature reserve a number of years ago. It was well worth the visit, not many birds about as we visited on a particularly hot day (34°), but a number of dragonflies and a handful of butterflies in the wildflowers. Well worth a visit and plan to revisit on a cooler day.

Beautiful place to visit and relax. An oasis of calm. Wicken Fen is a unique landscape of wetlands, reed beds and wildlife. On a good day you can spot a marsh harrier and dozens of other unusual birds. Parking is plentiful and it’s a dog friendly area but you must keep them on a lead at all times. The wildlife needs to be undisturbed.

Beautiful place, lovely reasonably priced cafe with delicious food and drinks. Gorgeous walks in a calm environment. Make sure to pop into the Feb house to give a real taste of old fen life

I wasn't too sure what to expect at Wicken Fen, but it turned out to be a great day out. The whole place is a unique environment teeming with life. Dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies and more. If you're into photography, be sure to bring a macro or telephoto lens. The cafe is nice, the shop us surprisingly large and well-stocked and the boat trips on Mayfly are recommended!

We done the bicycle route one day and the windmill/walk the next. The bike route was really fun and pretty easy to do, think we done 9 miles. The walk was about 3 miles.

A great place to walk with large open fields all around you. Lovely visitors centre and coffee shop.

A welcoming visitor centre. Great boardwalk across the green. Hides to observe the birds. Having gone in spring it was lovely to see the plants coming to life after winter. There is a nice cafe too. Great children's activity for Easter.

I was fortunate to visit during an open day so entry was free. The house and gardens are very impressive. The grounds are very big and the accompanying map was helpful. The flower displays are excellent especially the roses and dahlias. The house is worth visiting and there are staff in most rooms to explain about the history of the house. There is a main restaurant and toilets at the main entrance and smaller cafe near the house but food choices were poor. I would suggest taking a packed lunch with you. Overall a great day out with lots to see.

Excellent National Trust property with lots of the Abbey open to view. The gardens are more naturalistic rather than formal but lovely to walk around. The autumn leaf colour is very striking. The cafe had a different menu to other NT that we have been to, which was a refreshing change. I woukd definitely recommend a visit.

Wow what a really memorable and lovely day out. Enjoyed roaming round the house. Such a lot of art and treasures to admire. Excellent guides who answered questions. You must see the rose and dahlia gardens. Picture taking opportunities. So much selection and colour. Loved the dotted around statues, well Kept grounds, serenity and walks. Highly recommend this NT property. Wish the shop was more affordable. Lots of people browsing but could sell much more if their pricing was more justifiable, competitive and affordable. Lovely selection of things to buy but too pricey.

I took my 91 year old dad for a few hours out in a quality garden. We couldn't have asked for more. The dahlia display was jaw dropping. The silver birches divine. The carpet of cyclamen was a joy to behold. We loved our few hours at Angelsey Abbey gardens. The entire garden walk was spectacular. Dad used the NT wheelchair which was really good as it had rough terrain tyres. The reception staff were so nice and accommodating. We also had lunch in the cafe. Perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed walking around here. As it was the autumn the golden leaves on the trees were lovely. A bonus was being able to go into the house and see the various rooms laid out as they were in the past. It was school half term so busy in the cafe at lunchtime. There's plenty of space for ball games, walking or sitting (although not many benches to sit on). Already looking forward to visiting in the spring.

An astonishing experience. Almost to much to take in on one visit. The most opulent of buildings packed with objects of a wide and varied nature. Just simply packed with artefacts, furniture, paintings ..and, iinevitably, as he seems to have clearly been inordinately vain..his many many suits. Fortunately this is just a temporary exhibition. The rest are well worth a visit. Very busy. Shops, restuarant etc. Acres of walks..when the weather permits. We didn't walk, or visit the working mill...it was bitterly cold. So cannot comment on those features. Nor the restuarant.

This is a very handy venue if you’re in the Cambridge area. Extensive gardens, and for me the pic of the bunch is Lode Mill and the Dahlia garden. The Dahlias were absolutely stunning. We didn’t visit the house on this occasion, although we have done before, if you do so you’re expected to do a lot of forelock tugging to the Fairhaven family.

Meerkat experience was good £50 for two people you get to prepare the food for the four meerkats and the large tortoise . Yes get around 10 minutes feeding them . At the end you get a small gift from the shop. There are other animals to see and the entrance is free , there are toilets and a cafe . There is only a small car park on site . Good children’s playground.

This is a great place to take the children. Plenty of farm animals in uncrowded spaces. A decent size playground for the younger children. Accessible toilets and a somewhat overpriced cafe. Loads of open spaces for the children. The design of the park is to accommodate families. There are even picnic tables, and a sensory area. A car park is located nearby costing £1.50 for 5 hours, with the first being free.

Nice little zoo in the local park, quite a good selection of animals for such a small place

This is a terrific little piece of works that would be a shame to miss if visiting Harlow. Even a mere cat enclosure as good as any I've seen.

We hadn’t been in years considering my daughter and I used to be here all the time. It has really changed and upgraded. The meerkats were so lovely and it was very clean and tidy.

This review is about Pets Corner located @ Town Park, Edinburgh Way, Harlow CM20 2QG, United Kingdom. Nice place to go with children again 5 to 14, I would say its like a family day out place. Mare can be done to improve the life of the animals in this place with better & bigger cages. It would be nice to have few washrooms for the kids and aged people, perhaps convenient store for water and snacks. The entrance is free but we were not able to see everything as lots of gates were closed. Would love to see this place again with more improvement for tourists and the visitors of the place. Few limited car parking available at the site against a fee. Good place for nature & animals lovers

Lovely collection of animals that seem to be well-cared for and happy. Perfect for kids and adults alike. Free entry during opening hours, but be sure to leave a donation if you can to help continue the great work.

Love this place. Great architecture See my daughter in a live wire play tonight. Great play, it was funny and the singing was really great. The only downside was that I wanted to support the playhouse and enjoy a beer and buy the family drinks. Plastic glasses .... if I'm paying 5 6 7 quid, I want a proper glass.

The best and probably only decent hotel in Bueng kan. Plenty of parking, Lotus shopping centre 2 minutes walk next door. Very helpful and friendly staff. Very clean. Highly recommended

Really enjoyed our show,bonus that it was our daughters first stage performance too, great to have in the local area.

Really wonderful place this... we went in a few hours ahead of time to set up an account for my daughter as she has additional needs. The man who sorted this was outstanding! Explained how it works & got us up & running. Later at the performance of Stranger Sings the rest of the team there excelled. Going out of their way to help several people with mobility issues - it really showed they cared & understood their roles as ambassadors for this brilliant local theatre!

My daughter loves this place, she has autism so cant sit still for a movie, tried this once and now she's hooked, she cant wait to see the ABBA show on 15th

Last year saw The Carpenters Tribute act and was a great performance. Just saw the Chicago Blues brothers show, best show I have seen in ages and I see a lot. Would highly recommend for fun of music and dancing. Just saw Big Band Moonlight Serenade, 18 musian playing Glen Miller, Frank Sinatra and it was brilliant. They will be back next year so get yourself a ticket. Just saw Ghost Story called Hats, The Revival in Theatre 2, I remember it referred to as the studio. The set was good, with nice performances from all, with some scary moments. You sit on three sides of the performance area so right up close to the action.

Saw Tom Gates, great performance, nice venue. Easy parking and facilities nearby.

If you haven’t visited this place you must! It’s wonderful. The setting and the art is truly outstanding. The scale and elegance of the sculptures will take your breath away. Your tickets are good for a whole year so great value too. Friendly and informative staff. The place has a cafe and shop too.

Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful space with beautiful gardens and art. The space is so vast that it never feels crowded. Getting there without a car was somewhat tricky but not hard - a train from London Liverpool Station to St. Margaret’s (less than an hour) and then an 18 min Uber ride (there is a bus but it involves a 30 min walk, which for those with limited mobility is difficult, especially as the road is one lane only with no sidewalk). The one thing that could improve is the cafe - it has a very limited selection of savory items, so bring your own food for a picnic.

I have wanted to visit for while & we decided to go on Bank Holiday Monday. We loved it. Henry Moore's giant sculptures were fantastic, to be able to get up close & personal was a highlight. Beautiful grounds. We will definitely be making another trip soon.

Beautiful gardens. The tickets are valid for the year so you can always come back here. We got very lucky with the weather but super place for a date or a weekend getaway from London. Alot of amazing works there and the studio spaces are great. There are even sculpting activities for kids.

It is great day out. The park is not too bid. The sculptures are stunning and spread around. There is a little cafe. The staff is friendly. The ticket is giving option for a whole year free visits.

A tranquil spot in the Hertfordshire countryside, with a fascinating story about the sculptor and artist Henry Moore. Tickets are valid for a year of unlimited returns which is utilised is great value. The cafe offers hot drinks and cakes. There's a nice gift shop too. Staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Very nice area displaying some amazing bronze and stone conceptual art from one of if not the most noted sculptor of his generation. Set in 70 acres the exhibits are well distributed allowing for a wander amongst sheep and rolling countryside. A warm welcome from the meet and greet team, a good selection of food, cakes and snacks . Very relaxing experience , thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic day, need more than one day to see everything. We mainly done hanger 1, the US area and the outside planes. These were knowledgeable and informative. We became members so we can come back a few more times. 100% recommended. All the staff we spoke to were lovely.

Great museum. It's huge. Spread over several hangars and buildings, and includes a Concorde, B52, SR71, U2 and many others. When we visited there were lots of light aircraft and classic planes like spitfires and bi-planes flying as well. There are several restaurants, a free shuttle bus, large gift shop and lots of volunteers (in red) more than happy to help. Car parking is free.

The Duxford Air Museum is an absolutely incredible place to visit! The collection is vast and beautifully displayed. The exhibitions are informative and engaging, with plenty of interactive displays and stories that bring the history of flight to life. Watching aircraft take off and land right in front of you is an unforgettable experience. There are also great facilities — plenty of parking, a nice café with good food and coffee, and lots of space for families to explore.

As a big aviation enthusiast, I was really looking forward to exploring the site and seeing some of the iconic aircraft up close. There was a short wait to buy tickets, and while the entry price did seem quite steep, I was happy enough to pay it for the chance to see the planes I’d come for. Unfortunately, the gentleman at the ticket desk (older, with white hair and a beard) was rather unfriendly and didn’t offer the warmest of welcomes — not the best start to the day. My first stop was the Concorde, which I’ve always wanted to experience. There were two staff members standing by the entrance, but they seemed too caught up in their own conversation to greet visitors or answer questions. Once onboard, there was no one available to provide information or engage with visitors, which was disappointing — especially for such a famous aircraft. After leaving Concorde, I made a beeline for the commercial airliners on display outside — the part of the visit I was most excited for. Unfortunately, when I arrived, all of them were closed for the day except the aircraft in British Airways livery. While that one was open and staffed, and the gentleman onboard was extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer my questions (thank you for that!), I couldn’t help feeling disappointed that the others were shut. Throughout my visit, I also noticed that staff presence around the site felt quite sparse. In several areas, particularly around the commercial airliners, I had a lot of questions but couldn’t find anyone to ask. I was later told that access to the aircraft varies by day, which feels like a bit of a “luck of the draw” situation — fine if communicated clearly, but frustrating when you’ve paid full price and key exhibits aren’t open. Overall, while I did enjoy parts of the visit and found the open aircraft fascinating, the lack of staff engagement, limited access to exhibits, and inconsistent communication left me feeling underwhelmed. With such an incredible collection, I had hoped for a more welcoming and interactive experience.

Incredible place! Honestly the best aviation museum I have ever been to and one of the best museums I have been to overall. Lots to see, lots to interact with, actually getting into some of the planes, many elevated platforms and floors to see these huge aircraft from different angles. The airfield is active with all sorts taking off and landing throughout the day. Accessibility for wheelchair users is great too.

Very extensive collection contained at an active airfield. Vintage planes taking off and landing all day was a huge perk! To see these aircraft still flying is indeed a pleasure! Everything was in good order and labeled. Well worth spending the day here; so very much to see and experience!

Visited IWM Duxford during the school summer holidays and explored at our own pace. The vast hangars packed with iconic aircraft—from Spitfires to Concordes—bring aviation history to life. Interactive exhibits, flight simulators, and outdoor displays kept everyone engaged. Super accessible with wide paths and family facilities. A brilliant day out for all ages!

Great experience Guys- we did the Polaris experience and had a great time. Not only is the Polaris great fun to drive yourself, but the hot lap had me grinning like a Cheshire cat.. So much history here- from rallying to the farm, and of the airfield too- Great fun!!

Best experience ever! My second time coming here for a rally experience, first time was the escort, this time was the half day in one of the sierras. Couldn’t stop smiling the whole time, to be able to push yourself in an environment that it’s okay to is just amazing and so so much fun!! There was 6 of us there using two cars and took turns swapping about every 15 mins, got a total of 3 runs which was plenty enough time (although I could defo do it all day lol). Tom and his dad are brilliant instructors and are really helpful in where you need to improve. I had also booked my dad for a mk2 escort experience after the half day finished for a bday present and he had a brilliant time, both of us drove all the way home with huge grins on our faces!! If you need a sign to book a rally day with LPRS, this is it !!

Brilliant opportunity to get your teenagers driving safely in a carefully monitored but fun way. My boys loved it. Pay the extra for the hot lap where the instructor shows off their rally skills!! U won’t regret it

A fantastic 1-2-1 tuition experience, can't wait to come back for more of the same. Excellent well-established facilities, vehicles and track. An independent family business who are passionate about what they do - they build and race their own cars and that experience and expertise shines through in every aspect of the Langley Park setup. A perfect day out that exceeded all expectations :-)

Hey all, I just wanted to say thank you for sorting out a fabulous Father’s Day surprise for my dad . My father in law and Jon. They all had an amazing time on the rally experience and the children all loved there driving lessons and hot rides in the rally car from ages 6 to 67 thank you again so much we will see you soon.

What a fantastic time we had. Took the missus as this was her first time doing something like this. Greeted by a very friendly receptionist and even got given FREE cups of tea!! The instructors were very friendly and the whole experience was great enjoyed. Enjoyed the fact this was not done in groups. Overall a great experience and will be booking this again.

What a great experience for my daughter who has recently passed her driving test. Simon has taught her skills to keep her safe whilst driving on unrealiable surfaces such and snow and ice. Thank you for teaching skills to last a lifetime!

A tranquil botanic gem in a busy city! An extraordinary garden of plants with some beautiful tree species. Easily accessed via the Park and Ride there's room to explore, learn or just sit and relax. Add to this a cafe with great coffee and the biggest croissants I've ever seen thanks to Stir Bakery, it's a wonderful day out.

I recently visited the Cambridge University Botanic Garden in the evening, and it was one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve had in the city. The atmosphere was calm, quiet, and perfect for simply being yourself. Unlike many crowded spots, here you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy nature at your own pace. The garden is beautifully maintained with a huge variety of plants and trees from different parts of the world. Each plant is labelled with its scientific name, which makes the walk not only relaxing but also quite educational. I found it fascinating to see species that I would otherwise never come across. Whether you are someone who enjoys botany or just loves greenery, the diversity on display is impressive. What I especially liked about visiting in the evening was how tranquil it felt. The soft light made the colours of the plants stand out, and the paths were quiet enough to just reflect, think, or simply sit in peace. It’s the kind of place where you can take a slow stroll, spend time with yourself, or even bring a book and read under the trees. Overall, a must-visit in Cambridge for anyone who wants to escape the noise of the city and connect with nature.

The Botanical Gardens are always lovely any time of year. They are great value for money and very family friendly as they always have free activities for children and there is no charge for them to enter. Lots of lovely plants and different areas from the greenhouses to winter gardens. Only negative points...the food is very expensive and wasn't particularly good (a very bland salad today...apparently it was supposed to have raisins in...I got one! At £6 a bowl I expected flavour and *gasp* a dressing). The other is parking. Not the gardens fault, but there isn't any. This is particularly difficult for disabled people. You can park for 3 hours but that's very little time to visit given the extra time and effort it takes with a disability. There are NO disabled spaces and the pavement is is dangerous for either a mobility scooter or walking aid users. The Council needs to revaluate this! Also wish they'd keep the shop open till 5pm so you can buy stuff on the way out! They are missing a trick there.

Still worth a visit in Autumn to enjoy all the beautiful colours. Such a relaxing place for a walk. We enjoyed the short guided talk about the Darth Vader plant especially for Halloween too!

This is a magical destination, especially for those who love plants. Despite visiting on a weekday, there was a decent crowd, but it never felt overwhelming. There is so much to see in terms of plant life, and we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a banana tree in bloom. We were also grateful for the fully-stocked cafe, which provided much-needed cool drinks on a warm day.

I had a lovely visit! It was a quiet Monday, and pleasant even with intermittent showers. It’s a good size - not overwhelmingly big (I found Kew too big for one day). The glass houses were a particular highlight but lots of other lovely areas like the herbaceous borders and the scented garden. The Rising Path was informative. I enjoyed a salad and drink for lunch at the cafe, which wasn’t busy. If you buy a ticket, you can leave and come in again on the same day which I did and was handy for me. I’ll definitely come again!

Cambridge University Botanic Garden is a very beautiful place, with an acceptable level of biodiversity. However, considering this is a garden run by one of the world’s top universities, I expected a bit more in terms of rare or unique plant collections. The garden itself is well designed and easy to explore. I found that half a day is enough to fully walk around and enjoy the entire space at a relaxed pace. One small disappointment was the rose garden, which didn’t quite meet expectations. On the positive side, this is a great place for families and kids. There are engaging activities that turn the visit into a fun adventure for younger visitors. For me, the highlight of the garden was the glasshouse. I won’t spoil the experience — you should definitely visit and see the stunning diversity of plants on display there. It is by far the most brilliant part of the garden and highly recommended. Tip: Don’t forget to bring your camera! There is so much beauty to capture, and the garden also runs a photography competition where you can test your skills. For practical details, their official website is very helpful and provides all the information you’ll need for planning your visit.

The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge is truly a gem—and completely free! Founded in 1816 from the personal collection of Richard Fitzwilliam, it has grown into a world-class museum with stunning collections of art, antiquities, manuscripts, and decorative arts. The building itself is beautiful, with grand galleries and a light-filled central hall. Highlights include works by Turner, Monet, and Van Dyck, as well as fascinating Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artifacts. Every corner has something to surprise you, from delicate miniatures to imposing sculptures. Whether you’re an art lover, history enthusiast, or just curious, it’s easy to spend hours exploring. A perfect cultural stop in Cambridge, and a must-see for both locals and visitors.

This is a fantastic museum and if you’re interested in art, it would be a reason enough to come to Cambridge, even if you have nothing else while you’re here. There’s a lot of nice impressionist paintings as well as other realist and pointillism from around the same time. As you could see in the photos, the Holdings for armory, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, ceramics are very extensive. I’ve got a big gift shop in a very nice little café on site as well. It’s really nice.

A true oasis of culture and beauty in the heart of Cambridge. Whenever I have a bit of time I like to walk in and get a good dose of inspiration. The museum never disappoints. The staff are lovely, helpful and friendly. I like the new, more modern display mixing various periods under different themes, it's refreshing. There are always fascinating temporary exhibitions too. The café and gift shop are also excellent. All in all, the Fitzwilliam museum is a must if you have more than several hours in Cambridge.

An outstanding museum in an impressive building! It offers a compact and clearly arranged collection of works of art, priceless historical artefacts, coins and much more. It may seem surprising to someone from Germany, but like many other institutions in England, admission to the Fitzwilliam Museum is free. Culture should not be commercialised and should be accessible to everyone – the UK is absolutely on the right track here. Anyone who is in Cambridge and has not yet visited the Fitzwilliam Museum has really missed out on a significant opportunity!

The Fitzwilliam Museum was much bigger than I expected and definitely worth visiting. There’s a surprisingly large collection of drawings and artworks, and you can easily spend hours exploring without getting bored. I also bought a ticket for the ancient exhibition. It was quite small, but well-curated and genuinely interesting. Overall, a great experience and absolutely worth the trip. I’d recommend it to anyone spending time in Cambridge.

Very nice museum with a lots of different arts displayed from various era and places. If you like arts your place is here when you visiting Cambridge. The entry was free, the staff was polite and helpful all the way. Please make a note turn off your phone flash as it harms the the displayed arts. The staff also will ask you politely. You can take many photos as you want. Very diverse and nice collection. Recommended to visit it. I post pictures from my favourite part the armory.

Excellent museum in Cambridge, with an amazing art gallery and Egyptian, greek&Rome artifacts to name a few. Nice cafe and shop. Highly recommended A+++

Beautiful Cathedral King’s College Chapel is an amazing architectural building of Gothic Art. Probably one of the most iconic landmarks in this city. We highly recommend the visit. It is very unique, but tremendously stunning!

Words are wasted here - one of the finest monuments to Perpendicular architecture anywhere. Go in, have your breath taken away, admire the paintings, and try and keep your heart in your chest. The fan vaulting is like no other. Pick a sunny, still day, and approach the college from the Backs, the classic side - you avoid the tourists, feel more like a student 😉 And when you are done, take some time sitting on the Backs, and appreciate that Rupert Brooke and others used to punt to here from Grantchester for their lectures. I'm guessing (hoping?) in straw boaters

Indeed a very very special place. We were lucky that a former student has shown us this area. With all the details and historical parts of the Kings college chapel. All these details are so special that you need to take the time to observe all the details of this chapel. The colors, the building architecture in relation with the stories is amazing. You can easily enter this chapel via the main entrance of the Kings College. Please do vist the total area which is amazing and combine this visit with the other College areas in Caimbridge.

There is a reason this is a must stop. The ceiling alone was worth the price of admission. The stain glass work was very human. It needs renovation. They seemed to admire the "modern man" in several panels which caught my attention. Yes, all the tourists stop here. . .for a reason.

beautiful, and picturesque place that feels like stepping into a storybook. From the historic colleges and cobbled streets to the tranquil River Cam, every corner offers something breathtaking. The locals are incredibly polite and friendly, always happy to help or share a recommendation. Whether you're punting, visiting museums, or simply enjoying a coffee by the river, the atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming.

Can only visit the chapel by attending a service. We went to Evensong - a truly uplifting place. It made me feel very humbled. The choristers were serene.

Beautiful chapel inside the King's College. It has several sections inside telling the history of the chapel. Nice place to visit when in Cambridge

It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. If you visit Cambridge, this should be definitely in your bucket list. To go punting in river Cam. It was a wonderful experience. You can book a boat for yourself, or you can share a boat, and if you're confident enough, you can ride on your own.

If you’re in Cambridge, make sure to go “punting” on the River Cam. Rent a boat for £30, spend a few hours paddling down the river. You’ll cross the Bridge of Sighs, the Mathematical Bridge, and many others. Many guided tours available. The red boats offer alcohol for sale. Excellent leisure activity in the afternoon with family or friends.

It was glorious going on the river with others punting. The guide was so well informed. It was a joyous experience

As soon as my boat start journey I feel I’m in a magical land for the time of my River Cam tour on the punt. Can’t explain the atmosphere in words. A must experience thing in the whole of Cambridge. The weather was cold but bright day and got some pics. I would recommend not focusing on taking pictures much coz you’ll loose the feel of the punting trip. This river is a source of great nature beauty, swans, bridges as well as colleges universities n many historical buildings. There must b lovely walks especially in summer or spring when the weather is on peak n gives u all to make an amazing atmosphere.

A charming riverside to spend your weekend! with some famous colleges to keep you architectural company...throw in a picnic and there you are in Paradise! 👍✌

I was in a magical land for that one hour in River Cam on the punt. Can’t explain the ambience in words. A must must visit in the whole of UK. We went in late November, but the weather was kind and got some amazing pictures. I would recommend not focusing on taking pictures much coz you’ll loose the feel of the punting trip.

The total experience of punting down the River Cam in the educational city of Cambridge was so awesome. It was exciting and calming at the same time, passing under various bridges and flanked by historic buildings like St. John's College and Queen's College among others. The views are picturesque and breathtakingly beautiful.

Have been here many times over the years and have always loved it. The food is always delicious but the beef short rib I had yesterday was just amazing! I must go back and have it again! The Jolly Waggoner is my absolute favourite pub, I’m so lucky to have it close by!

Bright and attractive bar and eating areas full of character. Menu is appealing: Pheasant Tagliatelle was just delicious. Locally sourced too. Only 3 stars for service as questions and requests about the food were not accurate. Eg twice checked that the gnocchi was meat free but then found it contained meat. Asked for unsalted chips for baby and these were heavily salted. They did replace the latter however. Service charge is added automatically too.

This is my first ever review but after my experience here, I had to review it. This pub has the atmosphere and posture of an old oak barn. You can smell remnants of fires that have been and gone, stories that have been written and told here. It makes you feel like you’re 8 years old again and papa has come home. Oh and the staff was slow as anything. Maybe get some more. All of that taken into consideration, my overall rating is eh can either take it or leave it

We came across this wonderful little pub on a long afternoon walk with the dogs. This pub is unspoilt and traditional, just what we love! The staff were so very welcoming! Big smiles and were making a fuss of our pooches. Decent pint of Guinness sealed the deal for me!

Came here 5 or 6 years ago and it wasn't up to much food wise but there must be a new chef because everything was amazing . Pheasant tagliatelle was banging and the steak was perfectly cooked with a huge pile of crispy french fry style chips. Also some lovely well kept cask ale courtesy of Woodfordes and some Adnams bottles . Can't recommend enough .

Great location with a decent beer garden for the kids to run around in when sunny. We went for Saturday lunch at 12 and it was chaos. There's a camp site across the road and so people descend in groups. Menu and food is below average. The kids pizzas were 5 inch microwaved tosh and the burgers made maccys look like the golden ticket. Sharing boards were ok for snacks. If you're camping, then have a look given the convenience, but I wouldn't go out of your way.

Excellent pub and the food was amazing, from portion size to the Jolly burger it was great. We were camping at the farm really recommend the place even though the cows were mooing at 2330 and the sheep at 4am 🤣

What a fabulous find.. a lovely lake with a gentle walk around it.. with benches along the park so easy to take a stroll, park and enjoy the scenes. Great end to the walk was the Italian restaurant Terranova.. fabulous pizza's.

Visited on a summer Saturday afternoon. Most water activities were already closed for the day around 4pm. Overall it's a beautiful park with two lakes and a shallow river stream in between the two lakes. You can dip your feet in the water. Splash area is nice and has a lot of fountains but also can get very very busy.

Great splash park and super clean. It also feels very safe as the ground is soft. There’s a small cafe so you’ll need to bring a picnic for more options. Also limited shade and seating so be careful on hot sunny days

Lovely park with lots of space, love the hills to keep fit, lake with pedal boats and a small paddling area, improved mini playground in the kiddies little waterpark near the jungle gym and a bit of play in-between them. Toilets and changing rooms smelled horrible every visit, no soap but not too scruffy. Ice cream bar service a bit slow and not as badly priced as most vans are recently. Car park is vast but very expensive, though it must help pay for maintenance and growth of the place, those lines of bins in-between carpark and park are always horribly stinky, wish park management would improve cleanliness/smells more often, a simple wash 1x/2× daily.

Lovely park. Lots of parking spaces on a nice warm day. Lovely water park/play area for children. Snack stand with drinks and ice cream and 5 or 6 picnic tables. Nice bridge to walk over the river to the lake where there are pedalos and a lovely big walk around the lake. In an hour we had got less than half way taking a leisurely stroll and sitting on the park benches watching the wildlife. Great time here for all ages and the dogs loved the walk. Would definitely go here again and pay for longer on the parking ticket to walk the whole lake

What a lovely park. Visited midweek whilst the kids were at school, so there was plenty of available parking. The toilets were really clean. Walked around the boating lake, which was both peaceful and relaxing. Stopped off at the cafe for a bite to eat and a coffee. It was reasonably priced and quite tasty. There are lots for the kids to do. Home schoolers were paddle boarding during our visit, which looked great fun. Passed a water park as well. A few toddlers braved the nippy weather today. Overall, this is a beautifully kept park with many activities and one that I will certainly be visiting again.

Stanborough Park is a delightful escape nestled in the heart of nature, offering a tranquil and picturesque setting that is ideal for a day out. The park's two lakes provide a scenic backdrop and are perfect for leisurely walks or more energetic activities like rowing and fishing. The well-maintained paths and green spaces are a joy for walkers and joggers alike, and there's plenty of room for children to play and explore. One of the highlights of Stanborough Park is its accessibility and family-friendly atmosphere. The park offers ample parking, and the facilities, including clean restrooms and picnic areas, are well-kept. For families, the playground is a hit with the kids, and there's enough space for everyone to enjoy without feeling overcrowded. While the park is generally well-maintained, some areas could benefit from a little extra attention, particularly during the busier months. Additionally, while the café provides a nice spot to relax and refuel, the selection and quality of food and drinks could be improved. Overall, Stanborough Park earns a solid four stars for its beautiful setting, range of activities, and commitment to providing a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages. It's a great spot for those looking to spend a day in the outdoors without straying too far from the conveniences of the city.

Really good venue for kids party, kids got looked after on soft play & also had songs & games to join in. Food was decent too & felt there was also ample space for adults too. Coffee etc available

I absolutely hate to leave bad reviews but sadly this place was the dirtiest soft play centre I’ve ever been to with my son. We were the first in, I had to ask for sticky lollies to be cleaned off the toddler slide, I cleaned up fizzy sweets from the recycling truck, the play equipment is dusty everywhere and sticky in areas, the whole place needs a good clean. Hardly any balls in the actual ball pits also. On a plus side the staff were very sweet happy people!

A wonderful place, I can easily say that they care about the cleanliness of their venue, the entire time I’ve been here the staff have been cleaning one way or another. A few of the climbing ladders could use a refurb, as some have your foot slipping through to the harder surface, However if you are able to guide your child over it it’s not a huge issue. My 2 year old loved it for his first time at a soft play (and so did his dad!!)

Visited today with my toddler (2yrs) and met her friends (3yrs and a 11 month old). First visit for us and it was amazing. Love the addition of the staff dance party she enjoyed a boogie. A range of soft play for different ages which was ideal for us. Nice cafe too. Enola, Priscilla and Braidy were so friendly and good with the kids. Will be visiting again! Highly recommend.

Always enjoy coming here, the price is good and a nice big area for the kids to run around in. There’s a separate area for babies, toddler and older kids. The staff are friendly and polite. There’s a tall man with short hair who is great with the kids. Sometimes it is a pain to leave as staff seem to have to main the cafe and front desk at the same time.

The staff here are fantastic. Polite and helpful. The food is good value. Drinks a little expensive but nothing unusual for a soft play. The soft play itself could be cleaner that why I've given 4 stars and not 5. Dust in places. Your socks are very dirty after a few hours here! The cleaning needs to be better in the soft play and the whole place in general.

Reception was full as I think there was a couple of events going on or something but we was seen by a woman on reception with outstanding customer service she was very young however knew what she was doing. She answered all the questions we had and even encouraged us to get a membership which we are going to be setting up soon. Whilst we were waiting she explained the difference between all the frames told us about making a bear told us information about parties she was friendly and helpful. There was a little incident inside the frames and a man with blonde hair in a bun dealt with it very quickly. The food took quite some time but it was to be expected as it was very busy. Two girls on the stage dancing looked very happy to be there. We will be coming back but hopefully when it’s a bit quieter🙂

What a beautiful house. Went for a guided tour, which was very informative and entertaining. It’s really worth it. Did a little walk around the gardens, which aren’t huge. But so nicely kept. I would revisit sometime as it’s a calm place to walk around. Nice cafe too. All staff are friendly and approachable.

Had a great day out here in the house and gardens. My only criticism was that the day we visited, the house was guided visits only - no mention of this when we booked. It was useful to hear about the history of the house, but we felt a bit rushed and not really able to fully look around each room.

Grand stately home, eclectic gardens with wild west fort, dinosaur trail, maze and formal gardens. All alongside the history of Indian viceroys, Hollywood movies and famous music concerts

Beautiful Tudor house, the stewards are very knowledgeable and approachable. Loving what they do. The family still live there, which gives the whole place a homely feel. The gardens are well kept . Great rock Festival exhibition with posters, soundtracks, and videos. Cafe offering good, well stocked, service area a bit confusing. Lots of picnicking space in grounds. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful historic home and grounds. The home itself is beautiful and guided tours available which we did and definitely worth it. Not that expensive. Lovely grounds and gardens, with a lot of walking to do if you so wish :) great on a lovely sunny day. Theres a dinosaur trail aswell which is great for kids and dino fans alike. Theres alsos a play park which i didnt directly go to but can see and its quite a large one. Lovely cafe with good food and drinks available including veggie options. Toilets were clean with nappy changing toilet available too.

We had an amazing day at Knebworth House! The historic home was absolutely fascinating—truly a magical place that’s stayed on my mind ever since 🤩. The kids’ activities were spot on, and both of my children had a fantastic time. The adventure playground was a definite highlight! I highly recommend visiting, especially for families with kids. We loved every moment ❤️

Excellent adventure playground for little ones. Outdoor obstacle course with swings, little houses, zip lines, A huge fort with towers and slides. Also some huge mat slides. Perfect for picnics - no picnics allowed in house gardens however you can around the adventure playground. Worth noting you can walk across the grounds to the house from the playground or vice versa however about 1.2k apart across bumpy grass so you may want to drive. The gardens around the house are not really buggy friendly apart from across the grass. Wilderness walk/trails where dinosaurs are is definitely not buggy friendly. Adventure playground has decent toilets/changing area and a small cafe operating out of a shipping container/shed. 10:30 opening time which wished it was a bit earlier especially with younger children. Grounds were lovely and had a great day out!

Historic watermill, operating on select days. River cruise and self hire boats also available and a small beach area for river swimming.

I had such a lovely day out at Houghton Mill in Abbots and would definitely recommend it. The mill itself is a really interesting National Trust property, full of character, but what made it extra special was everything around it. You can hire boats or punts by the mill at very reasonable prices, which was so much fun and such a relaxing way to enjoy the river. On sunny days, it’s also a great spot to bring your own inflatable if you fancy drifting along at your own pace. The area is perfect for picnics too. There are plenty of tables outside if you want to sit and enjoy food from the café (which was excellent – really tasty and good value), or you can just bring a rug and set yourself up right by the water. It’s such a peaceful, pretty place to relax. If you’ve got time, it’s also worth wandering into the village. There are some really good pubs, all with a welcoming feel, plus a lovely antique and art shop that’s fun to browse. Altogether, Houghton Mill and the village make a brilliant day out with a great mix of history, nature, good food, and a lot of fun on the water!

Lovely small and spacious campsite near the river for walks and water for those who like messing about in it!! The mill was very interesting and a short walk to pubs with good beer. The facilities were great and very clean. My only small gripe was no toilet paper left in the morning.

This was a pleasant and unexpected experience with a lovely mill on a river. Some of the views seemed out of a money painting. We didn't go in the but just did the circular walk. There is a swimming and canoeing area. There's also a campdite close by and a small cafe for refreshments. Parking on grass is available. Good for families wanting to explore and be at one with nature and dogs are welcome.

Visited when en-route home from Shropshire and well worth it. Very busy to park but well organised. Interesting bit of history and couple of enthusiastic volunteers added to it. Pleasant walk along river too. Bought some of the milled flour.

Beautiful place. Did the mill tour but definitely going back to do the 5k circular walk and perhaps take out a rowing boat.

Great place for swimming, canoeing, or long walks. The mill is definitely worth visiting, check the opening hours. There are toilets and a tea shop next to the car park. You can rent boats and canoes. Car park and facilities close usually at 4 pm, but you can still drive out, so don't worry about leaving your car for longer, drive up to the gate (not too close) and it will open. Beautiful scenery, we did an 8k walk (check out the map in my pictures, red trail, with a green shortcut south of the lakes) but you have many options, including an around 20k one recommended on a map just south of the mill. There may be mud and narrow paths in tall grass, so aim at good weather. Don't miss walking around the picturesque village with many old houses, a bit like going back in time. Recommended.

Set in a very appropriate historical building that schooled Oliver Cromwell. Quite a small museum, but it is packed with relevant artefacts. I found the battle at Naseby video to be the most interesting exhibit. I did feel that more information, videos and commentary would have improved my visit. Worth a look if in the town. Some books available to buy.

What a beautifully laid out and looked after museum for a conflict not spoken about enough. My Wife and I attended this lovely building and I was taken aback by the quality of the exhibits and the kindness of the staff who were readily available to speak with us and show us around. The equipment and literature available in the museum is excellent and kindly donated by the families of the conflict and I couldn't recommend this highly enough and hurry as they currently have a Naseby exhibit! Thank you to the staff and recommendations on the books!

Informative, free, little museum, with interesting items that belonged to Cromwell or from his time, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Located in what remains of a medieval hospital. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cambridgeshire and have half a day available.

Very good museum for its size. It's only tiny but packs in so much! I think it being housed in Cromwell's old school also works great in letting you feel closer to the man. Maybe a small extension should be built rather than a move because of this. It packs in tons of stuff for everybody. Niche facts for the history buffs, family friendly signs, dressing up for the kids and kids at heart, child friendly signs, and clear and detained displays. I went to Birmingham museum not long ago, and this little museum just shows the level of shame and ineptitude of the staff and management of Birmingham museum. How can this little niche museum have such amazing displays? I was a curious fan of Cromwell before visiting this place. Now I am a huge fan. What am amazing fellow. Truly one of the greatest Englishmen to have ever lived. I learnt so many new things about him and how many of the negative things we're told are spun out of proportion. I hope this place keeps up the great work and can possibly grow in the future.

Amazing place, for such a small museum there is so much to see and so much quality items (in terms of historical significance). And the staff are absolutely brilliant - helpful, insightful, talkative and knowledgeable. Definitely worth to have conversation with them. And please, if possible, donate something.

Very disappointing, wife and I traveled up from dorset, arrived with a nice welcome, small building and close car park and interesting building with the history but very false history slant, portrays king charles the traitor in a good light, and some twist to accurate history, shame because it's the only museum about him, tainted by catholics! I've come to realise to gotta get the right books, found in the following; Oliver Cromwell by J. Allanson Picton, 1883 Hardback book. God's English man, by Christopher hill James G. Battell Oliver Cromwell | The Last King of England

A comprehensive small museum devoted to all things Oliver Cromwell. Its full of interesting details about him and his influence and the Civil War period. A vital piece of Huntingdonshires history lovingly preserved and promoted, many thanks

Brilliant place to visit for all ages. Great parking prices. Disabled parking by café/toilets. Pushchair friendly (spring/summer visit). Plenty of space to play and plenty of trails and woodlands to go exploring. Great play parks for all aged children. Will definitely visit again and definitely recommend.

Fantastic park for children to learn about the natural environment. Lots of different separate play areas, meadows & lakes. We saw lots of wildlife & lived the bee apiary. Cafe had lots to offer as well as song honey from the bees.

Loved this country park. Inexpensive car parking with plenty of space. Not overcrowded. Very dog friendly. Plenty of wildlife. Everything from woods to meadows to lakes. A large part of it is wheelchair and disabled accessible. I will definitely come again.

What a hidden treasure this place is! I truly wish I lived nearby! The £1 parking fee is an absolute delight—so refreshing compared to the exorbitant rates we pay down south. The area is perfect for walking, with scenic routes that wind through beautiful landscapes. There are numerous playgrounds, all in impeccable condition, ensuring that children can play safely and enjoyably. To top it all off, there's a charming tea shop that offers incredibly good value for money, providing a cozy spot to relax and recharge. I wholeheartedly plan to visit again!

Plenty of parking. Good disabled access (own car park) with mobility scooters available too. Sheltered areas. Cafe great but needs more indoor seating for winter. Lovely woodlands with a gated wildlife area as well. Several playgrounds for children. Recommend.

We feel so lucky to get to live here for a short time. Just a five minute walk from our front door is King’s Way which leads to the lakes and then into the park. I love to walk our dog so she can run and play but I especially love the swans in the ornamental lake, the forest of beautiful trees and paths, and the sounds of the many birds!

Lovely place to walk, fish, have fun with family or loved ones, you can even grill or place a tent near the lake if you know the right place

We dined in the cafe and walked around the well laid out gardens. 4 of us took the guided 1 hour tour which was led by Ross and Richard. There was so much information of which we knew little but Ross and Richard's knowledge was superb. Definitely recommend the tour.

Really lovely historic place. Excellent guide. Interesting. Nice shop with coffes and food. Large car parks. Toilets. Lovely nature arround...

Lovely food with seating by the Watermill river, nice shop and beautiful gardens. Always enjoy our visits here.

Lovely working mill. Lovely deck with cafe and restaurant with cream teas and good burgers. Fresh made flour and cereals Juxtaposed with small nursery with herbs and flowers for sale.

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you won’t be disappointed. From a traditional full English breakfast to pancakes or smashed avocado on toast, Jordan’s Mill is definitely worth the drive. Staff are incredible, with a massive shout out to Sharon. An absolute powerhouse who was amazing. Friendly, attentive and I honestly thought she had a twin because she was everywhere! Touring the gardens after breakfast or lunch, is a treat for the senses, and walks off a bit of the amazing food.

Friendly staff and tasty food. Unfortunately most of the daily specials had already gone by the time we got there so we switched to the pie of the day (steak and ale) for himself and beef brisket jacket potato. Both were excellent: the jacket came with red cabbage slaw and a salad, the pie with mash, gravy and (unfortunately almost raw) tenderstem broccoli. Unfortunate, but the rest was delicious. Then we went over to the shop and bought some sweet treats!

We had such a fantastic time on our guided tour of Jordan’s Mill! Our guides, Ross and Heather, were absolutely amazing — so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. They brought the history of the mill to life and were happy to answer every question we had. We learned so much about milling and food heritage, and their enthusiasm made it all so interesting and fun. You can really tell they love what they do! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting — it’s a brilliant way to spend a few hours.

Lovely reserve. Lots of different areas from trails to gardens. Great for plant and bug lovers as well as birds. Lots to see and do. Cafe reasonably priced and a varied selection of tasty treats. Good vegetarian selection, but maybe hard if you can't do wheat/carbs...some salads might be good and someone thought they used to do breakfasts....good toilets, nice shop. Staff are lovely. Also a visitor centre and they organise lots of activities. Definitely recommend a visit and help support the work they do!

Very impressed with this place, the £6 parking is better to think of as the entry fee. We were able to do one of the routes with a pushchair too, so don't be put off! It was an awe-inspiring nature trail and had a nice cafe attached too at the end. Would highly recommend.

A great place to visit. Lots of lovely peaceful walks through woodlands. You can listen to the birds and enjoy well signposted trails. We are members so regularly visit. On our recent visit there was some beautiful fungi. Good restaurant and shop. Helpful staff. Our granddaughter loves the play area which combines being creative and fun.

Another visit to Sandy RSPB, first visit of the year. Despite the cold the fish we're still out and about swimming in the pond and there was plenty of people braving the chilly weather. Had a good walk and a good chat with one of the staff about fossils, bought another pin badge too 😊 then warmed up with a coffee. Looking forward to many more visits and watching the landscape change through the year.

I had always wanted to visit RSPB Sandy, and I'm glad I finally got to go. Lots of trails to navigate, some easier than others, with plenty of seats around to take a break. Gardens with an ornamental pond, a cafe and separate shop, plus toilet facilities. Well worth a visit in my opinion, and particularly suitable for families.

One of the last true heathland areas in the east of England Lots of wildlife, fungi, and woodland plants for nature enthusiasts. Short and longer signed walking routes. Cafe RSPB shop and toilets.

Great place for a birding wander, many trails to choose from, lots to see, forna & flora both, nice cafe for a drink & a bite to eat once finished and a well stocked shop. Well recommended for RSPB members & non members.

We spent a lovely day here. What a special place. Full of interesting information. The Swiss Garden is stunning and very relaxing. The cafe provided some nice food but quite pricey. Nice little gift shop. Looking forward to returning for some of the 2026 events.

Lovely place to visit for plane lovers! Didn't have have long to stay, but will be calling in again. Has a cafe, the food order came quickly but a long wait for hot drinks despite only one person in front of us. The food had arrived at our table before we got back with 2 teas!! The cafe was clean as well as the toilets.

We are so pleased to have found such a great day out so close to home. We have visited many aircraft museums, but feel we have all learned something new today. Have to thank the wonderful volunteers who enriched our visit, especially the wonderful Corinne who went above and beyond to welcome and help everyone, especially our son. The gardens are just breathtaking. We discovered our sons photography talent surrounded by nature and history. Great value too. We are already planning our next visit.

I am so extremely lucky to live locally to this amazing aircraft collection, the range of them from modern to the first ever ones made. Even if you aren’t particularly interested in planes every single aircraft in the hangars has a detailed placard about it and it’s super cool to learn about. I personally haven’t visited the cafe and i’ve seen some bad reviews and experiences so that’s the only reason i would give this a four because i feel like i’m not informed enough to give it a five. The lady that sold me the ticket was so incredibly lovely and we even had a lovely chat together, unfortunately i don’t remember her name but she was wonderful! Below i’ve attached a picture of the placard, they all have qr codes with videos of the aircraft in flight and also statistics and the story behind it.

5 mins off the A1 - ample parking, staff were very friendly and the exhibits were fabulous covering mainly 1900 - 1940 aviation and cars - all in hangers and in superb condition Food was plentiful good quality and price. We had our 9 month old grandson and all the staff fully engaged with him making him laugh Ticket valid for 30 days - definitely worth a visit

The air display was wonderful in spite of changes to the schedule because of high winds. It was the first time I've been round the gardens and the ground floor of the house. Both were thoroughly enjoyable.

We had our wedding here earlier this year and selected the Brothers Supper as our caterer. We had the most incredible day the staff were so welcoming and helpful especially with my mother who has some disabilities which I really appreciated. The house itself had plenty of lifts and stair lift to help her manouever around which was a big requirement for us. The food was so tasty and nothing was too much trouble for the managers and staff. We would recommend both the venue and caterer anytime to anyone.

Fantastic museum with a working airfield, showcasing vintage aircraft, cars and commercial vehicles, all set within the grounds of a country estate. The grounds are shared with an attractive landscaped garden and a manor house, making Shuttleworth a full day out, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of the vehicles in the collection are maintained in operating condition, and well presented displays cover their respective histories and specifications. The hangars are easily accessible and nicely laid out. The landscaped garden features picturesque little bridges, water features, a charming thatched "Swiss cottage" and an atmospheric grotto. There's a visitor route around the garden taking in all the points of interest. Keep a look out for the resident peacocks while exploring. Parts of the manor house are open on occasion, with some interesting features to see inside. Onsite facilities are good, with a café offering refreshments and classic lunch options, a small gift shop, well maintained toilets and plenty of parking. The combination of museum, working airfield, house and gardens makes Shuttleworth a unique place, and one of the best days out in the area. The aircraft collection is surely second to none. Tickets are £17.50, and permit unlimited return access within 30 days of purchase (except on event days), representing excellent value compared with similar attractions.

Just a fabulous museum, we absolutely loved it. HOWEVER THE reception wasn't too great towards my visually impaired Mum in a wheelchair, actually the young lady at the desk on arriving was quite rude and condescending , we decided to forgive her and not let it ruin our special day out - she was probably awaiting A level results and trying to earn a bit of pocket money- that's what I said to Mum afterwards, however, Manners and Empathy cost nothing, it wasn't the greatest welcome for us, actually for me as the daughter/carer it was excruciating and embarrassing, swiping Mums card for £48 for the privilege of being dismissed as nothings. Yes all 3 of us are OAPs. Cafe was OK but the usual overpriced bought in stale scones not even warmed up , jam extra, cream more extra. In my opinion as a veteran of visiting museums all over the UK - the exhibits are wonderful, but the rest needs to get its act together, I was glad to leave. Advice to Shuttleworth? Be much more welcoming to your paying visitors especially if blind and asking a question. It was embarrassing for me taking my Mum for a special day out. But the Museum itself is breathtaking- Absolutely go here for a brilliant day out - aviation history, wonderfully researched, fabulous planes. And you might see a plane taking off or landing Which is what my Mum was asking about in the first place at reception for us. There were no volunteers here - not like at the MK Museum, where they have numerous experts explaining exibits, but not here- it was almost an ethereal experience being amongst the exhibits in huge hangers, totally alone and isolated. Rather odd. So you do need to be able to see at this venue. It is not blind friendly. Nor even friendly, and I can see fine.

Took my uncle here for a day out. He loved it especially the gardens. Shuttleworth Collection is an amazing array of historic planes and vehicles, all of which are fully functional. A credit to all the workers and volunteers there. Often go just to visit the cafe and there is usually some interesting aircraft outside or nice cars or motorbikes visiting. If you become a member of the SVAS you get discount on food and drinks and free entry to the museum.

Wonderful museum in great location. 6 aircraft hangers of exhibits,beautifully presented. Also lovely gardens and a large cafe serving tasty food.

Six or seven capacious hangars housing a unique collection of some of the earliest aircraft, and definitely the earliest warplanes. They are in spectacular order, many airworthy, with an operating airfield adjacent where, on my visit, there were Tiger Moths, a Dragon Rapide, Spitfire and visiting Hurricane. There is a cafe with outside seating, and ample parking.

The collection of aircraft was remarkable, showcasing a diverse range of aviation history. Visitors could marvel at the meticulously preserved vintage planes, each with its unique story. The presence of a powerful jet added a thrilling contrast to the quieter, older aircraft. The sheer scale and variety of the exhibits provided an immersive experience for any aviation enthusiast. The overall presentation of the aircraft was truly impressive and educational. Airshow 2025

Beautiful place to visit. Spitfire lots of old working planes. Flying days. And Swiss garden which has Beautiful peacocks. Highly recommend. Fantastic day out. Cafe on site.

We attended the chili tour and tasting and had a brilliant time! The experience was filled with information and great stories as well as a wide range of chili plants. The tasting was amazing, again with a wide range of products and fresh chili's. Definitely recommend and hope to come back whenever in the area again.

Wonderful experience, sauce and chilli tasting and afternoon tea. Passionate about their work and delicious food largely grown in their own gardens and fields. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes a bit of heat and is interested in different flavours of chilli

Had a fantastic time on the ‘Cooking with chillies made simple’ workshop. The owners were very knowledgeable, open and friendly. There was plenty to do on the workshop and we had a lovely day out. All in all great experience and I learned a lot. They also sell chilli plants and sauces on site which is really handy, including their own home grown sauces from their own chilli harvest. I only wish I turned up sooner so I could relax in the café, not to worry as I’ll definitely be revisiting at some point.

🌶️ Chilli Ranch – A Must-Visit Hidden Gem! 🌶️ Had an incredible experience here! The tour was absolutely fascinating – our guide was super informative, passionate, and engaging throughout. I learned so much about different chilli varieties and how they’re grown. The tasting session was the real highlight though – so many amazing flavours and unique combinations to try. Everything was really well organised and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly, highly recommend visiting – it’s a fantastic day out and a real treat for foodies! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sean was very entertaining, giving superb knowledge all the way through the tour. Joanna was a great host. Now the chilli’s. Look great taste great and can’t wait to make my own sauces.

Loved it from beginning to end, deserves more than 5 stars ! Went on the chilli tasting tour for two. Shaun the owner gave us a very informative talk on how to grow chillies from seed, then we had a tour of the farm and picked our own chillies. After that we went into their shop, tried their huge range of sauces followed by chilli tasting, from mild to hottest in the world! After that we had some amazing food in the restaurant. Definitely going back.

Visited the Chilli Farm for afternoon tea and a tour of the chilli farm. Overall it was a great experience. Joanna who is the owner of the farm and our guide for the tour was really informative and has a real passion for chillies. After a short talk about the various variety of chillies, we had a sampling session in the cafe of various chillies, chilli sauces and marmalades, starting from the mildest up to the hottest…the Carolina Reaper! There was plenty of milk on hand should you need it! Afternoon tea was lovely, a variety of sandwiches all made with various chilli based sauces and marmalades. Would certainly recommend for an afternoon out.

A gem in Luton, deserving of every one of its 5 stars! I've visited both on weekdays and weekends, and each time it offers a truly fruitful and calm atmosphere. The beautiful gardens are a highlight, perfect for a peaceful stroll and enjoying nature's beauty. The coffee shop is a lovely spot to relax and refuel, and the old carriage exposition is fascinating – a real step back in time. It's a wonderful place to escape and enjoy some tranquillity. Highly recommend!

I haven't been here in a long time and it still delivers, the museum is good and took approximately an hour to get around. The garden was unexpectedly large it was like a laybrinth to get around, you couldn't go inside the greenhouses I assume this was because we went on the 26th September getting close to Autumn so I'm fine with that. There was a slight mishap with my hot chocolate where I got given one that tasted like coffee but this was adequately replaced.

Wonderful place with well kept grounds..a favourite when the kid's were young and now a place of tranquility to get away from the busy world outside.. excellent cafe too..

Lovely gardens and museum! We love to have picnics and walks in here. Nice little cafe and toilets available.

A warm welcome to centre. Fantastic museum containing wonderful collection of vehicles. Lovely and interesting gardens . Really good cafe and shop. So good that it is free entry.

Beautiful park with a golf course, museum, coffee shop and play area for kids. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely place to visit with a whole family, it's free, it's interesting, full of exciting exhibitions for fans of history, although a lot of places (especially greenhouses in the gardens) seemed unaccessible on our recent visit. There're a coffee shop, toilets, and playgrounds. The staff is kind, and the gift shop has a lot of lovely knicknacks. Fantastic place for a walk or picnic, but some parts of the gardens seem a little run down recently.

Great little theatre. Good view from our side seats. Staff were very friendly and organised!

I go to the Grove Theatre in Dunstable to see tribute band concerts. The theater has a good sound system, comfortable seats, and the bar offers good beverages including wine and beer.

A great venue to see a show or performance. Only downside was the seats we had did feel like you were leaning forward at all times. Had the seating been in better condition I'd have given 5 stars.

A lovely local theatre. All the seats have great views. There is easy parking close by.

A strong value for money experience, I both enjoyed attending shows (ie with Ben Portsmouth as Elvis), and the strong customer experience. I was served by Emily, who provided very warm and professional support with regards to my booking, making my experience that much better

We went the The Buddy Holly story. Good energetic show. Quite a small theatre. Parking is OK, but if you don't know the area look it up before you go as the entry point is confusing.

This theatre is a hidden gem. Ample parking and good spacing between the seats. Shows are down to taste and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Perfect location for a weekend getaway. I visited during a kite festival and loved it! There’s parking available and plenty of hiking trails with stunning landscapes

Parking is £3.50 or free if you’re a National Trust member. Incredible views and walks, especially for dog walking. The main hill overlooks the London Gliding Club so it’s good fun to watch the tow planes taking off. Theres a dedicated area for kit flying too. There is a large national trust cafe and shop atop the hill, prices are not too bad and the shop stocks some lots of locally produced products (jam, honey, oil, chutneys).

Fantasitic views. I went with my mother in law and kids. We were able to use the wheelchair in case she cant walk. Fantastic service, they also have mobility scooters and small bikes for children under 5. I was surprise how well prepared the kiosk was.. There is possibility to use their overcoats, raincoats, warm blouses and wellies if u forgot but for lids only under 10... absolutely great idea... I noticed there are some activities going on and there was full list of things but i lost leaflet. We used main building for loo and its large and clean. We bougt second hand books !!! another great idea. It all looks really nicely run. All great! Views amazing. Was a bit windy but we enjoyed looking at gliding planes and it wax such fun. We are going back soon...

A nice place with a good scenic view for a day out, but the public toilets and café closed very early, around 5 pm. More concerning is the lack of public toilets, especially considering the needs of families, children, and younger visitors who often stay quite late. Quite disappointing, considering the management team's awareness of the fact that toilets are essential. Even though they shut the toilet doors at 5 pm, they could have implemented a payment system to allow the toilets to be used. I notice people are going to the loo behind the trees. Overall, a good place to visit, but considering the basic amenities, I suggest avoiding it, especially if you are travelling with small children.

Great place to visit ! Has a nice cafe with great lunch and breakfast menus along with tea and coffee options . Views from this place are amazing and also the walk on the paths are great too ! Parking seems reasonable too . Arrived around 1:30 pm and it was only £3 till 8 pm . It is pretty windy near the cafe but is a great place to fly kites which you can bring your own or buy from the cafe ( but expensive though cheapest one is £14) . Overall a great place to visit. Would definitely come again on a sunny day !!

Awesome view and lots of diverse people coming on that place

What an amazing experience of kite flying !! If the weather is great it's definitely a great place to see kite performance and enjoy weather with family.

FOOD AND BEERS ARE EXCEPTIONAL! I had the best cheeseburger I've ever had. I travel constantly for work and am so grateful when I find a place like this. Business time IPA is outstanding. Cask Ales are outstanding. Order the burger. Put a second patty on it. They grind their own beef so you can get the burger medium. Get the burger medium. Go here. DO IT!

Excellent beers available on tap at the kitchen. The bitter is nice as well as the Egyptian cream for a dark beer.

Always friendly and helpful when ever I get the chance to go.... Handy knowing it's all gluten free as a celiac so can have anything there. Bought a refillable jug as well which are Great value.

Very good beers, gluten free. Very helpful to find what you like the most. I recommend this place to everyone

I did a delivery to Nene Valley Brewery a few weeks back. As a proper beer lover, made naturally with natural ingredients and no artificial additives, I had to sample their produce. The on site shop was spot on so I bought a mixed 6 pack of hoppy beers. To say I have enjoyed them is an understatement. . The fresh tonne bags of used hops from the brewing process was a delight to smell as well. A proper place, with proper beer. A credit to English ingenuity. Hooray for NVB! Loved it so much I got the T shirt.

These guys brew a range of excellent beers. At the little shop you can buy bottles of all the beers. Better of course, though than even the delightful range of bottles is actual cask ale straight from the barrel that you can take away. Drinking one right now of Nene Valley Bitter. You can also get mini casks of many of the beers. You can book in advance and get your own barrel for parties and weddings. Not only nicer than bottled but cheaper. What's not to like? I commend this to anyone who likes beer 🍻 Really nice, friendly and knowledgeable people

Exceptionally good beer, with a decent choice of types and flavours. Had four 20 ltr boxes for a wedding and it went down really well with the guests.

We had a wonderful time visiting for the Dino week. There were plenty of activities for the whole family, and our son especially enjoyed the "Time warp challenge" interactive show and the dino disco. The dinosaurs and cavemen were very entertaining 🤣 Our son would have happily followed them all day if we had let him. Not once did they break character. The play areas were a massive hit, both the indoor (which has a great selection of slides) and the outdoor. The cafe was good, a decent price, and had a great selection of cakes (the lemon doughnut was particularly yummy!) The animals all looked well cared for, and as with most farms, they offered lamb feeding and small animal petting, although we did not do this. There are plenty of handwashing stations if you do feed or touch the animals. We would definitely return and will look at booking for the Christmas event!

​Mead Open Farm has become a family favourite for us! No matter how many times we visit, we always find a new adventure. The hands on fun of petting and feeding the animals is a great. The number of activities is incredible, from the silent disco and racing gokarts to the big inflatable ball that the kids can roll around in water. The new pirate themed splash park is a fantastic and welcome addition! Even the British weather can't spoil the fun, thanks to the massive indoor soft play centre with few nice slides. It's an action packed day out that we highly recommend.

Fantastic farm with loads of activities for your kids to enjoy. Daughter was entertained for the whole afternoon and it was a joy to see and feed the animals. Highly recommend. Loses a star because sadly they don't accept cash.

I don’t know wheee to begin. This place is AMAZING!! Finally got to go with the whole family today and there was something for everyone. The kids really enjoyed it. It’s such a unique offering. With both the farm animals which are so well groomed and looked after… to so many posh and adventure options. It’s a full day. It’s great value of money. We were thinking of going to a theme park but with our one year old we felt it would have been too much with all the queues. We are so happy we chose Mead. Was a stress free day. No long queues. Good food. And so much to choose from. The foam party was definitely a hit at the end!!!! Just go!!!!!

Very mixed feelings about the farm. Comparing to others in Hertfordshire this is quite expensive for what you get. In terms of animals, if you are after goats and rabbits than that's the place. Other animals you can see - cows in the field, pigs in their little boxes. Soft play area nice. Food average, typical, popcorn chicken and chips from kids menu was ok. Play area spacious and well maintained. Will I come back? Not sure.

Mead Open Farm is a fantastic place for families. There are so many things to do, from animal petting to indoor play areas, high ropes, go karts and tractor rides. Highly recommended for a fun day out with children.

Adults night is hands down one of the most enjoyable experiences! Not over crowded. Food was great! Amazing rage of activities! Highly recommend

Challenging 6000 yard course with hills and doglegs. Quirky for sure with tee boxes, greens and fairways crossing over here and there. Pace of play was good and the course in general was in very good shape for the time of year. Fantastic value at £12.50!

Nice course, quite demamanding but fair Greens excellent condition especially considering the time of year Clubhouse well equipped and welcoming

Played the course a few times now and to be fair not to bad. Very challenging in places. Unfortunately we played good Friday and booked for 5.20pm. We were allowed to tee off at 5. We managed 15 holes because of the light.. luckily we didn't play 18 as we would of been looked in.. the gate is locked at 8 which we weren't told and to be honest what club allows you to tee off at this time and not inform you of this.. to get round in 3 hours is not possible for our standard of play.. be warned other golfers .. dont get locked in

Lovely golf course my first time doing 18 holes in over a yr. Highly recommended to hire a golf buggy. 10/10

Another great course with great greens, true risk for rewards course, but be careful as it will wreck your scorecard if you get it slightly wrong on your risk

Lovely golf course with many challenges....and beautiful scenery and wildlife ....go check it out

Had a great time this morning at Oundle Golf Club. Course in great condition and enhanced by superb bacon rolls and coffe from the Millenium Pavillion by the 9th Tee. The pavillion is open Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesdays.

Went back in May as a treat for my 21st birthday and had an amazing time! The staff are friendly and the experience is so unique. They teach you how to correctly handle the alpacas plus you get to have a snack and a drink in the cafe after included in your tickets. We took our alpacas for a short walk around, then we fed some alpacas too. I would definitely go again. If you're after a one of a kind experiences, this is for you!

Great experience,very well organised Carol and Sarah were really friendly and knowledgable.We walked Sir Keith he was lovely and walked well.We then fed the female Alpacas and goats before ending the day with hot chocolate and a cake.😋We would really recommend.

What a fabulous couple of hours. Sarah and Alice were fabulous with the group and super knowledgeable about the Alpacas. Lovely walk with Freckles followed by feeding the ducks and the females and a little chat with the goats. Top it off with a lovely cup of tea and a bit of lemon drizzle cake and you've got a perfect way to spend a couple of hours. We will be back, probably with the rest of the family!

A totally fantastic experience, from start to finish. James and Jo were both very welcoming and knowledgeable on these wonderful Alpacas 😊😊 That’s for a perfect day ❤️ Gilly and Mike

Fabulous day spent with the alpacas followed by a cuppa and cake. Extremely well organised with lovely people and fabulous friendly alpacas. Very clean, highly recommended five stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I booked this place for my 12yr old birthday, she really enjoyed taking Jay-Z (one of the Alpaca's 🤣) around the walking route. The things I liked about this place 1. Each person gets a hot drink and cake afterwards (bonus point 🤪) 2. It's well worth the money 3. The Alpacas are very very friendly and funny especially while out walking 4. I liked how younger children can walk the Alpacas but obviously with adults beside them 5. I paid for 1 Alpaca but they gave me 1 to walk also, I'm guessing it's because they didn't have a full time slot and gave me the spare one (another bonus point 🤪) 6. Plenty of photo opportunities The list goes on, I would definitely recommend this place especially for children.

Absolutely amazing experience. It was a Christmas present for my daughter but due to covid it was delayed. The staff are amazing and informative and very loving towards the gorgeous Alpacas. We will most definitely be returning.
