One of our favourite UK family days out is Legoland Windsor. We’ve been a few times now starting when our eldest was just 18 months old. I thought I would share my tips for visiting Legoland Windsor with under 4’s. We’ve also taken a baby and a 4 year old when we were so grateful […]

On Easter Saturday we visited Plas Newydd, a national trust property on Anglesey. This was our first visit as we’ve only just joined the National Trust. We have visited many times since and it is one of our favourite things to do in Anglesey with kids. We followed the map and set off to find […]

It’s such a lovely part of the country and perfect for families. We travelled down Friday morning and unfortunately, the weather was not […]

Wray Castle is a National Trust property located next to lake Windermere. It one of my favourite things to do with children in the Lake District. This is not your typical national trust property though. It is a mock gothic castle, full of fun things for children to do. The castle is a little tired, […]

If you’re looking for a pram-friendly walk in the Lake District, then look no further than Tarn Hows. We first discovered Tarn Hows before we had children. We parked near Coniston and walked up to Tarn Hows, followed the circular walk around it and then walked back down. It stuck in my mind as somewhere to […]

Yesterday we took a trip to Salford quays to see Lightwaves 2016. This is a light installation which includes some of Blackpool illuminations (a very small selection). This Heartbeat installation only works if you place a hand on a sensor, hold hands with someone and they put their hand on the opposite sensor. The lights […]

We have been visiting the lake district in October, most years, for a good few years now. Before we had Children we would stay in bed and breakfasts in Ambleside or Keswick. We once even camped in pods near Windermere (very cold in October). Since the ladybird was born we have been staying in self-catering […]
