I am a professional, landscape photographer and have published several views of Badby Woods as greeting cards! Obviously spring is THE time to visit but this elevated woodland is fantastic all year. The views over nearby Badby Village and the surrounding countryside are breath-taking. It represents a large area with many circular walks possible. Close by are the ruins of "The Dower House", a Tudor manor (fenced off but free to view).

Obviously, for a wood famous for its bluebells spring is THE time! However, with ample free parking onsite and being in such a lovely situation, this natural woodland is delightful throughout the year and is great for dog-walkers and families with children alike.

Daventry Country Park is a popular park ideally situated in the urban fringe of Daventry with circular, way marked and hard-surfaced trails through woodlands, meadows and close to the reservoir with wheelchair accessible bird hides to stop and view the wildlife. With its large reservoir where you can feed the ducks, adventure playground, numerous picnic spots, nature trail and a wealth of wildlife, Daventry Country Park is a great family day out.

Travelling from Yorkshire to Southampton with the dog (Trip Advisor you really do need an option to say travelling / visiting with pets) I spotted this on edge of the map as I was hunting for service stations on the M1. Did a little investigating and decided that this was going to be our lunchtime stop. Its about 10 minutes drive from the motorway and yes you have to pay £2 for parking but it is infinitely more pleasant surroundings and no time limit on your stay. Nice big car park, a playground for the little ones, a visitor centre, toilets and a little cafe. Nothing fancy from the cafe but it is all made to order and you can sit watching the wildlife as you eat it. Allow a good hour or more to walk around the lake, there are various routes and plenty of places to stop and watch the wildlife or just sit and relax. If I ever have to travel south down the M1 again I will be making time to stop off here instead of a service station.

I came here during half term with my little one and she had such a good time we have come back again. Yes during half term was busy, so much so we were asked to wait in reception as they had reached the maximum capacity for that time so had a one in one out policy, but the reception team were so friendly and made us all laugh whilst waiting. After 10 mins we were able to go in but it was stressed to us that it was standing room only which was fine for us due to having to supervisor my own child I was going to go in the frame with her so I did not need a seat. When we ordered food we were told by the fantastic staff that there would be a 90 min wait on the food but that was also fine as we were having fun. We eventually did find a table to eat which was promptly cleaned by the staff so we could sit . The staff were very busy but kept a smile on there face the whole time. When we left the reception team who were still smiling gave my daughter a friendly goodbye. We have since been back and once again had a brilliant time. Thank you so much tigers team for giving me a great place to bring my daughter on the wet British days! Food is good, service is good, staff are brilliant
