Days out nearby
Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens ↗
~20 miles · ~30 mins
Wildlife park · ideal day trip
Rhinos grazing on the lawn in front of a Victorian manor sums up this park's charm. A narrow-gauge railway, walk-through lemur enclosure and a big adventure playground make it a relaxed family day in the heart of the Cotswolds.
~23 miles · ~30 mins
Farm park · excellent toddler activity
Adam Henson's farm showcases rare British breeds, with animal handling, tractor rides, jumping pillows and a woodland adventure trail. It is surrounded by Cotswolds villages and boutique hotels, so ideal for a weekend.
~32 miles · ~45 mins
Castle / historic · ideal day trip
A real medieval castle where children can climb towers and ramparts, watch a giant trebuchet fire and see birds of prey swoop over the grounds. Live shows and a horrible-histories style dungeon turn history into theatre.
~44 miles · ~1 hr
Safari park · ideal day trip
Drive-through reserves with rhinos, elephants and lions, followed by a foot safari with sea lion shows and squirrel monkey walkthroughs. Good value with the indoor play area as a backup, and close to the Woburn estate.
~46 miles · ~1 hr
Zoo · ideal day trip
Britain's largest zoo spreads over the Chiltern hills, so elephants, rhinos and bears live in big open paddocks you can drive between or walk. The space makes it feel more like a safari, and it is an easy hop from the Chilterns or north London.
Bekonscot Model Village and Railway ↗
~49 miles · ~1 hr
Castle / historic · ideal day trip
The world's oldest model village: miniature towns, a working model railway and a ride-on train children adore. Small and charming, with a playground and picnic area.
~49 miles · ~1 hr
Indoor play / activity · rainy day option
An interactive chocolate attraction with a ride through a cocoa-bean world, demonstrations of the real thing being made and free samples along the way. The adventure play area outside helps burn off the sugar.
~50 miles · ~1 hr
Farm park · excellent toddler activity
A classic hands-on farm where little ones bottle-feed lambs, collect eggs and ride on tractor trailers, with indoor and outdoor play to fill the gaps. A gentle, easy day near Beaconsfield and the Chilterns.
