Best flying show I have seen, really interesting education about the birds and very passionate people, the birds welfare is a priority and they do some great work - we loved it so much we stayed for the second flights, highlight was the Sea Eagle in flight and the Burrowing Owl and the x4 kites flying together, peregrine was amazingly fast and the European owl so silent, vultures too were fascinating, highly recommend for everyone - food was good too at the cafe and locally sourced and rubbish recycled. Do go along and support them as I imagine it is very expensive to run, they do rescue work as well and breeding programme for the endangered species.

Fascinating one hour tour with a short walk down the pit. Very informative and insightful. Couldn’t fault Richard who was our patient guide (and also a miner) - a real character with a great sense of humour. Loved it. Great cafe too.

I bought my son a 'pub at Home ' from Hillside Brewery to help him celebrate his 2nd lockdown birthday at home and it was brilliant! The beer especially went down very well. The box contained a 5L keg of beer, a bottle of wine, 2 beer glasses, a couple of packets of crisps, a pack of playing cards and a spotify playlist. Great present, speedy delivery.

Me and my friend Sophie had such an exciting and fun visit here! Angel was fantastic and told us all about the Llamas... they were so calm and friendly and with the coffee and homemade biscuits at the end we really felt at home by the end of the time there! Would definitely recommend for something different to try.

A very interesting afternoon. Our guide was informative and, over a welcoming glass of wine, told us about the history of this new vineyard and how the various grape varieties are used to make the different wines they produce. We also saw the pressing in operation and the fermentation shed, where the equipment was spotless.Then the hightlight - the tasting! We were given a range of different wines to try and the oportunity to buy if we liked them. This was a very relaxed afternoon.
9. Chedworth Roman Villa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 888 reviews
Considered one of the most extensive and complete Roman villas in England, this structure was occupied from the late second century to the mid-fourth century.
Reviewed By RhinoLondon_England - Ottery St. Mary, United Kingdom
The floors and foundations of a large Roman Villa with the mosaics of the principal rooms under a specially created building with floating walkways as well as other outlying remains set in a most peaceful head-of-the-valley setting in a remote location. There’s plenty of outside space to sit, stroll and picnic, a small museum in a Victorian hunting lodge, a National Trust visitor centre with shop & etc. Parking is either immediately adjacent or a short stroll away. Well worth the trip.
10. Dyrham Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,285 reviews
Dyrham Park is home to a 17th-century house and formal garden set in ancient parkland. In 2015/16, the house underwent a huge conservation project to replace the leaking roof and install a biomass boiler. The house and garden are now in a state of transformation and include new tours, areas and exhibitions.

This is a lovely National Trust house with beautiful gardens, car park at the entrance, and you can either take the shuttle bus or walk down the hill to the house, and main gardens. If you're lucky you may see deer in the grounds. Highly recommended.
