We went to the Alice Holt Forest for the first time last weekend:

Took approx 1.5 hours to get there. Very busy on arrival at the car park but once you're in the forest it's much quieter. Theres a cafe, a play area, also various installations for kids to climb on en route.


Would highly recommend.

Just to say we tried out route 12 Tonbridge to Penshurst and back yesterday - it was great! Lovely trails through woodland, fields and along the river. The children liked the ride, the playground at Tonbridge was fab too, and the heated lido at Tonbridge looks worth another trip.

We did the Cuckoo trail recently - about 14 miles in total but you can do bits of it.

We did north from Hailsham and just (I think) outside Hellingly there was a pub with a bouncy castle and small playground and food. Bits of it were a bit urban but as a first bike ride with a 4 year old and 7 year old, it was just about right.

Epsom downs, train to tattenham corner from east croydon, then under 5 mins walk, good for cycling, lots of routes online and a few places to eat, from tea bar and ice cream van near downs, good greasy spoon or fish and chips near the station to posh pub food at derby arms.

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds? 
    • Certainly unique, can't argue with that.
