We had an absolutely amazing time llama trekking at Catanger Llamas. Before we went Sarah answered all my questions over email and was a great and friendly host on the day too. We got to learn all about llamas before taking ours out on our walk, which I found really interesting. The walk was through beautiful countryside and was great to spend time with our llama who was really gentle and had a fantastic personality! Then we headed back to the farm to see all the other llamas and the babies too which was lovely. Also, Catanger Llamas has loads of precautions in place for Covid, e.g. loads of hand sanitizer, rotating llamas and guide ropes used etc so it felt really safe. Would definitely recommend a visit here, it was a fantastic experience!

Brilliant experience that I was given as a gift... Mick, our expert in the FV 432, was clear and knowledgeable and funny! Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn, driving the actual tank round a very muddy track, and firing the huge paintball gun to top it off!!

Ape Index

Ape Index is an indoor bouldering, ninja warrior and obstacle race gym. We have a large bouldering wall and many ninja warrior and obstacle race obstacles and climbing training aids. We offer a training environment for children, beginners and supermen. There is something to pull every muscle in every direction and under every duress imaginable. You can learn to balance, swing, jump. You will get stronger, more supple, more agile and more aware. You can build strength, and not just specific single plane pushing or pulling strength, but overall strength from your toes to your head, pushing, pulling and gripping. You can develop power, not lifting power, but explosive pulling and jumping power. Then you can work your strength endurance on the pegboard or power endurance on the salmon ladder, or overall endurance by running through the obstacle courses.

We have just had our sons 8th birthday party at Ape Index. Where he also had his 7th birthday! Both times the experience has been brilliant from start to finish. Both Alex and Nigel are friendly and laid back which makes the whole experience really rather pleasant! The party offers great value for money compared to many more obvious venue choices. Nigel was endlessly patient with the 18 excitable 7/8 year olds and managed to control them without ever being cross. The kids all really enjoyed it. You get as much free time to play afterwards as you want, which is fantastic. Overall a brilliant birthday party at a great venue.

Reviewed By Verity_Hill - Alfreton, United Kingdom

Wow! Myself and my friend have just got back from a 2 hour beach ride with Jamie and Chrissy who were fantastic and made the whole experience one to remember! We are both experienced riders and it takes a lot to impress me and I was not disappointed! Fantastic gallops across the beach and being able to go into the sea with the horses was just an unforgettable experience! The horses were so well behaved and we swam out up to our waists and even saw a seal! The beach is beautiful and the horses were fun and safe and well looked after, clearly enjoying their jobs! This is definitely the best beach riding experience around and run by a lovely family team who are friendly and make you feel welcome straight away. I can’t wait to come back... it is so worth the 2 hour trip there and back and I will recommend to everyone! Thank you for an unforgettable ride!

We were staying at grange park farm up the road and decided to have a go at paddle boarding, easy to book on line, there was option to have an instructor (or not) and seeing as we hadn’t tried it before decided that would be best! Easy parking and cafe/ restaurant on site(which we didn’t use). Met Richard the instructor who had boards ready for us, very friendly and easy to talk to, gave very clear instructions and showed us what to do on the water before we got in, great fun although it was a very windy day so we were blown all over the lake! Felt sorry for Richard trying to round us up! Great fun and felt safe with flotation device worn, would imagine anyone of any age would enjoy, not just the paddle boarding but the array of fun things to do there, lovely location, thanks Richard for your patience and for not laughing when I fell in !!

Haunted Antiques Paranormal Research Center

do you have an interest in the paranormal? Do you believe objects can hold energy? Would you like to do an investigation? Do you like antiques? Do you have any spooky stories to share?? Visit the Research Center and enjoy some time with like minded friends.

Reviewed By KnockOnceForYes

This place is a absolute treasure trove for anyone with an interest in the paranormal! When we arrived we were warmly greeted and immediately made to feel at home before being given a fascinating tour of the rooms and objects by a knowledgeable team member. This isn't a dusty museum where the artefacts are locked away, we were encouraged to handle and interact with the items and feed back any experiences we had with them so the team could add it to their research, and we certainly had some things to report! We also loved being able to sit and have a cuppa and a chat in the tea room with like minded people about everything spooky and strange. If you are interested in the paranormal we highly recommend a visit - you won't be disappointed!
