I recently went here with my sister for her 19th birthday. I’m 28 and we both had an amazing time. We booked the alpaca experience which included an informative talk about alpacas and their wool, a 45 minute walk and feed with the alpacas and hot drinks and biscuits afterwards overlooking the lake. There’s a lovely little shop with loads of alpaca stuff to buy and we were made to feel really welcome as we stayed there for about another 45 minutes. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone no matter what age. The alpacas are amazing and such funny little characters. To top it off you also get a free video with photos and videos set to music sent to you afterwards. This was a really nice surprise. Thanks so much to Lisa and Nick for being so welcoming on your lovely farm ????

This monument has been here for quite a few years now, and makes for an impressive entrance to Lutterworth from the M1 motorway, from Rugby and from Coventry. The monument is a full size replicate of the first jet powered aircraft to fly in Great Britain, the Gloster E28/39, powered by an engine produced under the auspices of Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets, based in Lutterworth. Frank Whittle had been working on the idea of jet propulsion from the 1920s and is credited with single-handedly inventing the turbojet engine. Beset with scepticism from senior figures in the field of aviation, lack of funding and half-hearted involvement of a number of other organisations, it wasn't until 15 May 1941 that the aircraft made its first flight. By this time, Germany had flown a jet aircraft of it's own as had the Italians (who knew that?) Development pressed ahead on more powerful designs and better aircraft, culminating in the Gloster Meteor powered by two Rolls-Royce Welland Turbojet engines, and the only jet aircraft to see service with the RAF during World War II. Power Jets was a small company, compared with the multi-million pound organisations in this field today, with a workforce of around 25 people by 1940. One of these was my late uncle Harold Crawley. He never talked about his involvement. However, the twin jet fighter needed a name and ultimately Frank Whittle asked members of his team to put suggestions in a hat, the one to be pulled out would be the one. 'Meteor' came out and it was the suggestion put forward by my uncle! The rest is history. From the aircraft commemorated on this roundabout, through the early RAF fighters such as the Meteor, Javelin and Hunter through to the supersonic planes used by air forces around the world and the luxury airliners that take us on foreign holidays, the humble Gloster E28/39 was one of the first faltering steps in modern aviation history.

I attended a group meet of campervans in the stanford hall caravan park managed by Sharon and Darren. I cannot recommend them enough for their hospitality towards our group and help around organising a warm group shelter to enable us to chat and keep warm. If your thinking of organising a group meet this is the place! The hall is great to .....

We love MRA. It is great to find somewhere all ages can go and join in. It is so hard to find places that teens can go as well as younger ones. Rollerskating is a dangerous hobby, there is a chance you might fall, that would happen regardless of the venue. MRA offer protection if you want it, just ask, as the staff are always helpful. The dogs are so well behaved and very cute. Roller lessons are great too. The only thing we would change is more skating times!!
