If you think Land’s End is all about the iconic sign post then think again! I was under this misconception until we looked into visiting during our Easter break in Cornwall. As it turns out there are nine different things to see and do on the most southwestern tip of mainland UK. That’s not to…
A few weeks ago we visited East Devon for a glamping weekend. It’s a part of our home county that we’ve not explored much so it was a great opportunity to check out the local family attractions. And an invite to visit World of Country Life at Exmouth was too good to refuse. World of…
I love seeing the delight on our girls’ faces when they meet farm animals. They take such pleasure in giving cuddles to domesticated creatures which is something you can take for granted when you reach a certain age. However, last weekend I shared in a delicious piece of their excitement when I met this little…
Hurray! The Easter school holidays have begun in many areas of the UK and we’ve already started our spring break adventures. Last weekend Devon’s Top Attractions invited us to see what was going on at some of our local family attractions during Easter in Devon starting with meeting the Easter Bunny at Woodlands Family Theme…

Nestled in the stunning Surrey Hills is Polesden Lacey – a magnificent Edwardian estate that’s seen its far share of high society gatherings. The National Trust is in the middle of restoring 18 of the house’s 200 rooms never seen by the public before. The Unseen Spaces at Polesden Lacey take you behind the scenes…
Back in January we spent a wonderful weekend staying in Surrey. It was at the height of the UK’s first big freeze of 2017 and the days were bright, clear and cold. Very cold! But the sunshine enticed us outside to see what the area had to offer families. One activity that had been recommended to…
We couldn’t have picked a better place to visit during the January cold snap. RHS Wisley gave us the perfect balance of frozen landscapes and a thawing walk around this year’s butterfly event in its iconic Glasshouse. Seeing the tropical butterflies at RHS Wisley is one of my recommended ways to beat the winter blues…
