We had an enjoyable experience driving a Defender up steep muddy terrain, through deep water and occasionally managing on just three wheels! We experienced this during the COVID restrictions our with our instructor Don leading the way in a separate vehicle, expertly guiding us via radio up hills through deep water and down steep muddy trails expertly talking us through any difficult situations. The castle is stunning and we ended our trip in the lovely setting of the castles brasserie. A great experience which we would thoroughly recommend trying.

With its Hall, extensive gardens and playgrounds, petting zoo, pitch and putt and other attractions this is a great place to bring young and old for a day out on a nice sunny day. Parking is cheap at £3 for the day and there are plenty of food outlets dotted around, although it is invariably cheaper to bring a picnic. Short term attractions will lighten your pocket, yet keep any youngsters expending more energy. A great place.

Chester Cathedral is many things to many people: a vibrant community of worship, an ancient abbey, an archaeological treasure, a cultural hub, a centre of musical excellence and a unique blend of medieval and modern history.
5. Norton Priory Museum and Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 315 reviews
Norton Priory is the most excavated monastic site in Europe. Boasting the priory ruins, 12th century undercroft (which is the last fully surviving part of the priory itself) and an 18th century Walled Garden, it is located within an oasis of 42 acres of tranquil woodland and wildflower meadows. The museum includes two exhibition galleries which explore the site's history, including the archaeological digs which took place in the 1970s and 1980s. Thousands of artefacts from Norton’s 900 year history are on display, including the internationally significant 14th century statue of St. Christopher, which features in Lucy M. Boston's classic children's book, 'The Children of Green Knowe'. Please note that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently opening on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only at this time. We advise booking in advance via our website, or calling prior to visiting during our opening hours.

We had a great day out in Norton Priory with its fascinating ruins and exhibitions, fun kids activities, extensive grounds and beautiful walled garden. I came in August with my son whilst visiting family. I was so impressed with the precautions they’ve taken to follow the Covid guidelines as well as still making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help. We’ll definitely be back when we can.
6. Arley Hall & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 605 reviews
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH THE GARDENS ARE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK, THE HALL IS ONLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON TUESDAYS, SUNDAYS AND BANK HOLIDAYS. Arley is a place of enormous character, charm and interest. Visitors are frequently struck by the warm and intimate atmosphere and the feeling that Arley is a much-cherished family home. The Gardens, which are amongst the finest in Britain, are outstanding for their vitality, variety and historical interest and are particularly celebrated for the magnificent double herbaceous border. The Hall is an impressive example of a Victorian country house built in the Elizabethan style.

We wanted to make the most of the beautiful weather but avoid the busy beaches. Arley Hall & Gardens was perfect for this! Lots of open spaces, beautiful plants, flowers & structures to explore. A feast for the eyes with all the colours of the flowers in full bloom. We took a picnic but treated ourselves with a cake from the cafe; which was fresh, flavourful and very yummy. Suitable for visitors of all ages and mobility. Easy to negotiate paths for prams/scooters/chairs. Plenty of benches to take a rest or to take in your surroundings. The hall wasn't open during our visit, but we are keen to return on a day that it is. Good value day out.

Well what can I say, the National Trust has come up tops again with this little Tudor Gem. Extremely well maintained and restored beautiful House, it is a pleasure to visit As usual with the National Trust, staff are onsite to bring the house to life and free tours are available which are excellent. Enjoy the tour then wander around at your leisure to enjoy other parts of the house and it’s display, followed perhaps by a visit to the cafe, where you can eat inside or out in the garden whilst the ducks from the moat nibble for titbits beneath your feet. There is a path to walk which follows the moat around the property which gives you a chance to enjoy the various herbs and flowers that surround the Hall. A great all weather attraction, enjoy.

Manley Mere Sail Sports & Adventure Trail
Reviewed By yimmin - Widnes, United Kingdom
This is a fantastic family day out but be prepared to get wet and dirty! Things to note; *Bring a change of clothes and towels. Wear stuff that you don't mind getting dirty and wet, I'd suggest shorts and t-shirt as it can get cold if you're walking around in wet clothes. *Take a picnic. During COVID19 there is a snack bar but the cafe is closed, it's limited and expensive. *Waterproof your phone or camera. As my partner didn't come there was nobody to take pictures, I wish I'd waterproofed my phone. We spent one of the last few days of the summer holidays here and had the most fun ever. We started off by skipping the first few obstacles so we could get to the big wet ones straight away, then we doubled back and did the whole loop as one once the morning crowd had moved on. Some of the obstacles are quite tricky and do need a bit of upper body strength but it's up to you which you do. It's disappointing that you have to pay full price to observe, my partner stayed at home with our 5 month old. She had no intention of taking part and would only have taken pictures. The whole route has a pathway that you could push a pram around. We took full advantage of the nice weather and got covered in mud and water at every opportunity. Having clean dry clothes at the end was a godsend, there's a couple of not very powerful hoses so you can get the bulk of the mud off.

I have visited Lyme Park three times this year, winter, spring and summer, and there is something to please all the time. The walks along the footpaths are exhilerating, with stunning views over the Peak District and on into Manchester; the formal gardens are beautiful, and so are the waterfowl on the lake, which my grand-daughter loves. The orangery is full of interesting plants and I had to curb my instincts to take cuttings! We had a most welcome cuppa in the tea room in the house itself, and welcomed the second hand books on offer via an honesty box. I love Lyme Park and am planning a further two visits before the end of the year!

A unique University of Manchester collection of 18th & 19th Century British paintings, decorative arts and grand interiors. Cheshire's hidden gem!
Reviewed By fenellab2014 - Macclesfield, United Kingdom
This is such a lovely tea room, a quiet unusual oasis away from other local town centre cafes. There is an interesting selection of teas, with the Turkish apple and peppermint being my favourite. We always go for the homemade scones with homemade jam which are just perfect. The quaint China and teapots make it extra special, (my favourite is Hamlet!), and an added bonus of a generous 2 cups of tea each. Owners always genuinely pleased to see us, so glad we discovered this place.
