Hi all knowing forumites!


As a new driver I'm looking for places i can drive to for a day out which aren't too far away, but are far away enough if you know what I mean? Where can we go this weekend that's maybe an hour or so drive away and is a nice day out for us with an 18 month old? Also, looking for ideas for places to take my 6 and 4 year old nephews in a couple of weeks. Open to all suggestions! Beach, forests, nice country pubs with a garden for the kids, castles...

Hope you can point me in the right direction!

Not great with specifics but recommend heading out of town towards Kent as the journey is usually quite straight forward and traffic free. We went camping near tunbridge wells and the countryside there is beautiful. Similarly we have also had nice days in West Sussex, Arundel castle and lots of nice local attractions! Or you could try Hampton Court for a fairly short journey and lots for kids to do there, then maybe Richmond Park or Kew Gardens if the weather is nice!

Hi


If you want a nice beach, but not seafront, just calming waves try the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. It is small but is is great for the kids and to be honest it is so easy to get too.


Just went to Sheerness this weekend they have really gone all out and have an amusement park all set up.


Do not worry though all amenities are available as the Tesco is just next door. All in all I found this as a really nice family day out!


Thanks

    • Don't think there'll be much glee around today with what's happened in Poland and France 😕
    • Sounds a horrible, random attack, quite possibly for social media clicks, or some kind of sick initiation into goodness knows what - it is reported they were filming the incident. I do not really doubt that any of this is true. Perhaps the friend who reported it elsewhere does not want to be identifiable? There has been an emerging issue with different types of anti-social teenage/ young adult behaviour on the Rye this summer and this latest incident indicates a tipping point into something much nastier. The park should be a safe and enjoyable space for all.
