Sightseeing

Ive listed some of our family favorite days out. They are mainly geared to those with children but are good for anyone who just likes getting out and about and seeing new things. The majority of these places also have a decent pub nearby which is always a bonus (with kids or not!)
Great day out with or without kids. Beautiful walks and pieces of art to enjoy. Great pub opposite for refreshments

Wellington Country Park is a country park in Hampshire, around Riseley, near Reading. The Park consists of 350 acres of coniferous and deciduous woodlands with several nature trails and a lake. It was opened in 1974 by the 8th Duke and Duchess of Wellington. Our boys love visiting here - plenty of space for them to run around and get into mischief.
