what a brilliant idea.... an amazing second hand bookshop more like a library with delicious coffee and comfy sofas. Also a wonderful gallery space. Loved it, hopefully the warmer weather will attract visitors. Good Luck.

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.

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.

Vintique Limited... a superb ground floor collection of antiques and collectables. Each time we visit there are new things on show. You can easily lose an hour browsing with free parking alongside the historic canal and Royal Ordnance Depot which adds to the experience. Highly recommended.
