We had a fantastic, memorable family experience here! The session was very well organised and managed, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, the animals were all well cared for and loved, and there were lovely extra touches such as the tea and cake, feeding the other animals as well as the alpacas, and the sweet little shop of souvenirs! The booking system was straightforward and effective, with clear information on what to expect and how to come prepared, as well as reminders running up to the event. We would definitely recommend the experience!

A fantastic museum/heritage park, established in the redundant buildings of an old `Victorian farm. A registered charity, it is run entirely by unpaid volunteers, and is open on the second Sunday of each month and all Bank Holiday Mondays from Easter to October. An amazing collection of stuff on display and being demonstrated by our members. Do not miss it !

Run completely by volunteers - shame it only opens about 9 times a year. First visit and certainly won't be the last. Many old farming implements, engineering machines large and small, model railways, tractor rides, craft stalls/sales etc, communications room including cockpit of Lancaster bomber. Many very knowledgable and approachable volunteers. Nice little cafe and today there was a small band of musicians and energetic tap dancing group. Understand last attraction changes depending on time of year.

Liam and Sylvie are the loveliest land lords and couldn’t do more to make people feel welcome. They were so nice to us and our puppy when we first got her, even bringing their lovely dogs down to meet her. Fab selection of gins too! Only a shame we haven’t been able to get a table recently due to covid measures but we look forward to returning. We are so lucky to have such a great local.

Fantastic & cool little craft bar down a side street in the middle of Bourne End. Really friendly and vibrant atmosphere, but the best thing is the varied selection of craft beers. What a place to chill out, converse, and sup great rare beers.

Indian Cookery classes for children adults and children from age 10. A home based cookery school based in Aylesbury, Bucks. Learn how to make simple, delicious, fresh Indian food. My ethos is to encourage young & old to cook from scratch and to veer away from processed foods. There is a worrying surge in diet related diseases, society is opting for 'convenience' at the cost of their health. Cooking from scratch is a diminishing skill. It is the ONLY way to have complete control of sugars, fats and salts you consume. My clients leave with the confidence to go away and recreate dishes, therefore reducing the need for processed foods/takeaways. Simplicity is key. These are private cooking classes, the session is exclusively yours or with a plus one. Everything in moderation I say, however, prevention is better than cure.

Nita is a lovely host. She texted ahead and asked what my favourite ingredients might be and made sure there were plenty available for me to add to my dishes. The evening is informative and the food we took away was absolutely delicious. Nita makes sure you get the right level of spice for your own taste, so don’t be put off by assuming everything is going to be super spicy Indian cooking. Our evening over-ran by about an hour because we were having so much fun and chatting away. Also, arrange to have some hungry dinner guests waiting for you to get home because you will be taking away a lot of yummy food! Not only will you learn some great Indian cooking skills and some of the great health benefits of some of many of the ingredients, but you will leave feeling like you’ve made a friend for life in Nita. I’ll definitely be going back and it’s on my gift list for many friends and family.

The County Museum, in the historic heart of Aylesbury, is a fascinating place to visit with an exciting programme of exhibitions and events for all ages.
Reviewed By earthtravelller
Visited the museum to see the World War 1 Hundred Hearts exhibition by the Embroiderers Guild which was amazing. This is the second of these 100 Hearts exhibitions I have visited and they are so well presented and the stories behind them thought provoking. The exhibition had its own room which provided a peaceful back drop to the display. The museum itself is in a lovely old building in the heart of old Aylesbury so it is well worth a walk around the immediate locality and church to appreciate the architecture. The rooms within the museum lend themselves to the display of different items and themes and there is also the Roald Dahl exhibition in an adjacent building so it is easy to while away an hour or two here. Staff were friendly and welcoming, there is a small cafe area and gift shop too.
7. National Trust Stowe

The scale, grandeur and beauty of Stowe has inspired writers, philosophers, artists, politicians and members of the public from the 18th century to the present day. Since the National Trust acquired the gardens in the late 1980s, an ambitious programme of restoration has ensured that over 40 temples and monuments remain, gracing an inspiring backdrop of lakes and valleys with an endless variety of walks and trails, a delightful visit, any time of year.

These are the most spectacular gardens to visit. Be prepared to walk about 3 miles and use the map provided at the entrance to get the best experience. There is a buggy ride if you need it.After a short walk from the New Inn, you enter the gardens and are treated to a spectacular view across the lake towards the house. As you walk around the estate, you come across quirky structures, statues, glades and more. There’s a surprise around every corner. Stowe is a wonderful example of 18th century opulence- a great example of showing off about wealth , a legacy that we can still enjoy today.

Visited o the 19th August 2020 during the current Covid restrictions and thus not all of the site was open but that did not distract form my day. Plenty of parking and the site is well signed inside to comply with Covid regulations and advice. Staff all pleasant and helpful. Entering the building to register I was amazed at what a great display n what is an old station brought on site from Oxford. Superb displays . 9 Good and clean toilets) . The weather was fairly atrocious at times but that did not stop a trip to the Royal mail travelling post office display or the Museum. Then another tea and lunch which was fine from the restricted menu ( again Covid the cause for the restriction) Social distancing rules in place which did make for a rather slow service on the cafe but the food and especially the tea and coffee were fine. Visiting the rets of the site was enjoyable with a goodly number of interesting exhibits. The short train ride was in keeping with the fact it is a rail centre and not a heritage line and ideal may be for those with youngsters having their first steam hauled train ride. Another peculiarity is the fact the site is split in half by The big Railway but two excellent foot bridges allow free passage between the two. Sadly hat appears to be an excellent miniature railway was not open . I should also mention the diligence with which they sanitised the areas for which that w s needed . An excellent day thank you

I turned up expecting a small centre for wildlife rehabilitation, instead it was almost zoo sized! it was absolutely amazing! I honestly didn’t realise just how big this place is, speaking of zoo’s, tiggywinkles Centre is better than some zoo’s that I have been to. You can get right up close to the endearing wildlife within the centre such as ducks, hedgehogs, badgers, foxes, birds of prey, various deer to name a few. The staff a very knowledgeable and give talks and you can tell they are so keen about their work and the what they do for wildlife is exceptional! Its a brilliant visit set in a lovely area of England. I absolutely will be visiting again very soon. Thanks for an amazing day tiggywinkles.
