Days Out with the Kids

Get out with the kids this Easter and take part in one of the many organised Egg Hunts around the country. With free chocolate available, what’s not to like?

If you think that stately homes full of antiques are no place for bored children at the weekend you are missing a treat. The National Trust offers some fantastic family days out that the kids will love!

For a day out when the weather isn’t too great, regular museums can be a bit boring – but there are loads of museums especially for kids…

We had only got to the start of the walk when we glimpsed our favourite tree…a horse-chestnut and there were conkers all over the floor!

When a friend asked if we’d like to join them visiting the Verulamium Museum in St Albans we couldn’t resist.

Coate Water Country Park is located on the outskirts of Swindon. A new place for us to explore, just 40 mins away. Well, it should have been, if we hadn’t got lost.

Our day at out at Kingston Lacy country estate in The New Forest, some very changeable weather and an organised Easter Egg hunt.

Every year I hear about the Crafty Craft race in Newbury just after the event. It looks so much fun, but I always seem to miss it, so this year I was determined to get there.

The children always enjoy seeing animals and we hadn’t been for a while, so we headed to Longdown Farm

Last weekend was daddy’s birthday and we wanted a family day out, so we headed to The Look Out. I am so glad we did, it was fantastic!

Our day out in Burley, New Forest and a pirate themed treasure trail…

A walk through the woods, the kids collecting sticks and using tools.

Into the woods we went and discovered a fungi walk we could do, little did we know it would also turn into a deer hunt!

The summer holidays have begun, the fun has started and we found the perfect way to kick start it with a visit to Donnington Castle, Newbury

For a change this year we decided to check out Cliveden National Trusts 12 days of Christmas trail in Berkshire…
