BERKSHIRE

Thames Lido, Reading

Legoland Windsor

You have to hand it to Legoland for continuing to come up with ways to sell the Lego dream to under-10s in ever-inventive new ways. This year’s newest attraction is Mythica – a brand new world in a parallel universe, including three new rides, where LEGO creatures come to life. It doesn’t open until 29 May, so you’ll have to make do with Ninjago World, DUPLO Dino Coaster , Haunted House Monster Pasty, Lego Miniland, which took three years to complete and all the other favourites. Opens 12 April.

Opens 29 March.

Highclere Castle, Newbury

The biggest star of Downton Abbey? No, Carson it’s not you or the Earl of Grantham’s labradors (they come a close second though) – Highclere Castle takes the crown. The house remain closed, but you can mooch around the Capability Brown gardens before settling down on your picnic blanket for a champagne afternoon tea on 12 and 19 April. You’ll have to wait until summer to enjoy the full Highclere experience. From £84 for two.

Cliveden National Trust

There’s a mahoosive 376 acres to explore – and there’s always something to see here whatever the season. Stroll through the formal gardens, stomp through the woodland and, if you’re super-keen, hike down to the river. Just brace yourself for the uphill climb. During the Easter holidays, the annual egg hunt will be back and we highly recommend getting on the water and booking a boat trip (open from 12 Apr). Advance booking is essential.

Stanlake Park Estate

This is a Berkshire hidden gem. Stanlake Park Estate has a long and colourful history dating back to the Tudor period but in recent times, it has made a name for itself as a superb vineyard producing quality English wines. The tours will allow you to waft among the vines, taste the goods (samples are generous… taxiiiiiii), plus there’s a well-stocked cellar shop, wine bar and garden where all the wines are available by the glass with no restaurant mark up. Tours resume in May.

Mortimer Alpacas

If your kids are sick of walks, one that involves a picnic and play with an alpaca might just entice them off the sofa. How can you say no to that face?!

You can also book private sessions for groups and/or birthdays. Bookings are being taken from 12 April.

The difference being you’re on a paddle board and there’s a risk of getting wet… Run by Lara and her expert team, the tours set off from both Newbury and Kintbury locks and are perfect for beginners to the more skilled. It’s a unique and tranquil way to see this beautiful part of Berks. Bookings from 3 April.

OXFORDSHIRE

Stonor Park, Henley

Exhausted and happy kids, you say? I spy an easy bedtime coming right up. There’s a new adventure playground at Stonor Park and not only is it as magical as Hogwarts but it comes with very necessary coffee for the spectators (in the form of the cafe at the visitor’s centre). Wholesome fun for the kids and lunch sorted – it’s a win-win. Tumblestone Hollow is on the edge of Stonor’s woodland and is inspired by the stone circle found in the estate grounds. The wooden playground, designed for 4 to 12-year-olds, has high level walkways, climbing nets, look-out decks and bridges, all connected to a gnarled central tower.

Wallingford Castle

Hide and seek was made for dilapidated churches and hours of play can be squeezed out of a sunny day and some tumbled-down walls, I kid you not. Wallingford Castle is opening on 1 April while the Abbey Buildings (and next door gardens) at Abingdon are open all year round. Head into the historic town afterwards for a takeaway cinnamon bun or party from award-winning The Orange Bakery.

Oxford Botanic Gardens

Are you overly familiar with every blade of grass in your local park? Of course you are. So here’s where to head for a change of scene. Oxford Botanic Gardenshas been open to locals all lockdown and provides a very verdant afternoon out for those utterly bored of their own backyard.

Pure Boating

If travelling under your own steam sounds like too much distraction from the important business of catching up, you could hire an electric boat. Wallingford’s Pure Boating is taking bookings from 3 April with boats for up to 11 people that you can drive down to Benson Lock or towards Moulsford. What better way to arrive at the Beetle and Wedge, two hours downstream, than on the water (though you’ll have to wait until they reopen their pods and terrace from 12 April if you’re hoping for riverside dining and a drink). Boats cost from £55 for an hour.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

Chiltern Open Air Museum

Museums and galleries have their hands tied at the moment but by virtue of being outside, the fabulous Chiltern Open Air Museum is opening its grounds and gardens on 26 March to stroll around with five friends or another household (although the shop will not be trading until 12 April).

Campbell Park, Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes can also claim to be home to some excellent municipal green areas. Campbell Park – laid out as a cultural centre point for the city – has water features, public art, cycling trails and the Grand Union Canal running through it – plus the famous Light Pyramid.

Willen Lake, Milton Keynes

Hardy souls might consider the spring sunshine an invitation to don a wetsuit (or not, if you’re totally bonkers) and hit the water… it’s all yours, ladies. Open water swimming, the runaway sporty success story of the pandemic, is on at Willen Lake (a lesser-known hotspot) with sessions running on Saturday and Sunday mornings and Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Waddesdon Manor, near Aylesbury

Ah, the National Trust, where children under-5 go free and frazzled parents weep quietly in gratitude. Buckinghamshire’s jewel in the crown, the stunning Rothschild Waddesdon Manor, is welcoming visitors into the garden and grounds and from Easter Weekends will officially be opening for the year. For the little people there’s an amazing outdoor playpark, open 10am to 5pm (entry is included with tickets).

Wendover Woods

High rope courses are open again from 29 March and are a fab option for a reunion to remember whether you’re aged 6 or 66. The are Go Ape courses at Wendover Woods is open from 29 March and is great for groups of mixed ages because it has woodland bike, walking and running trails and the new Wendover Woods Café with a warming takeaway menu. Those who’d rather keep their feet on the floor could try a Nordic Walking session with Ridgeway Nordic Walking – definitely the easier option for a good old chinwag. The Gruffalo Activity Trail will also keep the minis amused.

IN UNDER 90 MINUTES…

HAMPSHIRE

Tornado Springs at Paultons Park, New Forest

Paulton’s Park has a brand new ‘world’ – and after a long-lockdown, families will be so ready for it. Opening on 12 April, Tornado Springs is a rootin’ tootin’ adventure ‘world’ set in the American heyday of the 1950s. Big and little kids will love catching up while trying out new rides and experiences like the spinning coaster, gyro swing ride and (a bit more our speed), a classic locomotive.

The Vyne, near Basingstoke

Plenty of places to enjoy a picnic and natter at this gorgeous, National Trust mansion in North West Hampshire. A favourite retreat for Henry VIII and his Tudor entourage, walk in Royal footsteps through ancient woodland, wetlands and gardens. Don’t miss spring blossom on heritage fruit trees in the orchard and beautiful spring daffodils in the walled and summerhouse gardens. Blooming lovely.

Lepe Country Park, Southampton

On the Southern fringes of the New Forest, Lepe coastal country park is the perfect spot to enjoy a clifftop walk beach-fix and fresh, sea air. Visit on a sunny day and find a spot on the mile-long beach. Then soak up some Vitamin D as you catch up over a coffee from the pine-fringed, architect-designed Lookout café.

Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Petersfield

Queen Elizabeth Country Park Petersfield

Meet at Queen Elizabeth Country Park near Petersfield for fresh air, family trails, woodland play equipment and brilliant cycle and walking routes. If you fancy a challenge, the 271m Butser Hill is the highest point in the beautiful South Downs National Park. Hungry? Pick up a coffee and homemade cake to-go from the Beechwood Kitchen café. Delish.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Delapré Abbey, Northampton

This stately, honey-hued landmark at the heart of Northampton is a treasure trove of art, history, intrigue and scandal and comes with 500 acres of parkland and gardens to explore. The grounds are free for anyone to visit and within walking distance of the town centre (worth noting that it’s free to park here too). With a lazy lunch or an al fresco afternoon tea at the Orangery Cafe thrown in for good measure, Delapré is a great place to meet up and mooch.

Evenely Wood Garden, near Brackley

The bucolic Evenley Wood Garden appears to be a magical wilderness but it’s really a very carefully curated woodland garden stocked to the brim with rare and unusual plants and suitably huggable trees. There’s an open sided wooden chalet cafe, Uncle Geordie’s Shed, with chunky oak tables and vintage china, where they serve homemade, organic dishes, local produce and gorgeous cakes, making this picturesque wonderland a fantastic place for a socially distanced gathering.

Boughton House, near Kettering

Known as the English Versailles, the gardens and park at the magnificent Boughton House are among the grandest in England. Make like Marie-Antoinette and let the kids eat cake in the beautifully landscaped grounds, which include a rather spectacular inverted pyramid. Recent and extensive garden projects have seen the reinstatement of hundreds of avenue trees and the restoration of beautiful waterways, reflective pools and the incredible Grand Etang with its 75ft. high water fountain, alongside the vast walled gardens, rose garden, sensory garden and lily pond. No shortage of glorious outside space to immerse yourself in here then and, of course, there’s the stable block tea rooms to nab the aforementioned cake.

WILTSHIRE

Stonehenge

Uncover the story of Stonehenge in the extraordinary atmosphere of this World Heritage Site. It’s the best known prehistoric monument in Europe, no less! A fabulous day out for all.

Each boat takes up to eight beings, including children and dogs! Prices for one boat are £79 for the first hour; £119 for 2 hours; £159 for 3 hours.

Godstone Farm, Godstone

Godstone Farm has the most a-mah-zing outdoor play area – think zipwires, giant sandpits, slides and tunnels – and it’s worth paying the entry fee for this alone. The farm reopens on Mon 29 March for morning and afternoon outdoor play sessions, which must be pre-booked online. Pack a picnic and let the kids go wild – and if you’re lucky you’ll spot a lamb frolicking in one of the nearby fields. The Topshop is also open for hot and cold drinks, pizza, ice cream and snacks. The farm trail and gift shop reopen on 12 April. Tickets are £6 per person and include an ice-cream for the kiddos and a tea or coffee for adults.

Painshill, Cobham

This beautiful landscape garden, created by Charles Hamilton in the 1700s, has magical follies, a serpentine lake, a man-made crystal grotto and a gothic tower – although latter two remain closed at the moment. Most of the paths are paved, so it’s very accessible and there are plenty of spots for a picnic. During the Easter Holidays (from 2-18 April) there is a giant colourful Easter egg trail. Tickets must be booked in advance online. Adults £9, children £5 under-fives are free. The Easter Trail is included free with general admission.

IN UNDER TWO HOURS…

LONDON

Chinatown

We might not be leaving the country this year but, under the red and gold lanterns of Chinatown and surrounded by an unfamiliar alphabet, you might be able to pretend. It’s a bit of a walk from Marylebone and Paddington stations, but we’ve all become excellent walkers anyway, and there’s so much to nose at on the way you’ll hardly mind. Once there, tuck into a well-deserved mountain of dumplings: Dumplings’ Legend is rumoured to be the best, but you’re unlikely to get a dud anywhere. Then don’t miss the opportunity to peer into the bakeries, full of ornate mooncakes. If you seek out Chinatown Bakery you’ll be rewarded with the strangely mesmerising machine in the window, which makes waffles in the shape of fish, then fills them with custard. Definitely one for the ‘gram.

Little Venice

Within 15 minutes’ walk from Paddington Station is Little Venice, a pretty stretch of canal full of bobbing coloured houseboats that’s surrounded by posh Victorian houses and lots of greenery. Meander along, convincing yourself that life on a houseboat would be utterly charming (until you eat a dodgy curry, that is), and admiring the scenery. It’s also a pleasing place to cycle, free of cars, if you feel like renting ‘Boris’ bikes. For lunch, grab an excellent salad and baked goods to go from Raoul’s Deli on Clifton Road.

Primrose Hill

Just a hop, a skip, and a jump away from Marylebone station (or a 20-minute walk from Paddington) is Regent’s Park, currently full of blossom and manicured spring flower beds, and surrounded by Nash’s picture-book Regency terraces. But keep going, across the road and into Primrose Hill, and you can see a tremendous view of the London skyline. A great opportunity to impress (ie, bore) any kids with how many iconic buildings you can point out. Grab something for lunch from one of the many restaurants, delis, and cafes on Regent’s Park road, eyes peeled for any passing celebs. There’s good portable stuff from Greenberry Cafe (bacon baps, cheese toasties, a changing selection of salads, cakes) or, come 12 April, tuck into excellent Greek food from Lemonia in their heated and covered outdoor seating area.

Kings Cross to Camden Town

Walking in a rural paradise? So over it. Instead, start off by grabbing something to eat at Coal Drops Yard next to King’s Cross station (the sandwiches at Sons + Daughters are famous for a reason, FYI). Maybe linger a bit, to grab a drink from one of the many bars — just a little pick-me-up, you know how it is. Then, head down to the water’s edge and wander along the canal, past the lock, noting the fabulously expensive luxury flats made out of old gas holders along the way. Within 25 minutes (or more, depending on how much you ate) you’ll have reached Camden Town, where you can climb up to street level and go nosy around Camden Market, with all its strangely enticing tat.

Hampstead Heath and Village

From Kings Cross station, and via the 46 bus, it’s 20 minutes to Hampstead Heath (get off at the Royal Free Hospital). Walk up Parliament Hill to see the full glory of the skyline; it’s one of the highest natural points in the city. From there, it’s a highly pleasant 20 minute walk across the lush Heath up to Hampstead Village, where you might peep a celeb local like Ricky Gervais. You can count the blue plaques of past famous residents as you go: Constable, Robert Louis Stevenson, George Orwell, John Keats. Get yourself tea and cake to go from Burgh House, or a fine French lunch from La Cage Imaginaire.

HERTFORDSHIRE

Hatfield House

Hatfield might not be the No. 1 destination on every tourist’s wish list, but did you know that the grand Hatfield House is one of the top film set locations for period productions in the UK? Most recently, Olivia Coleman’s Oscar-winning turn in The Favourite was captured in this wonderful Jacobean Manor, not to mention all those that came before, including Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Shakespeare in Love and even Batman. Who knew? Oh, and the actual Queen Elizabeth I spent much of her youth at Hatfield Palace (an older house on the grounds), and you can still (literally) walk in the footsteps of this epic monarch today. The park and woodland walks will open from 29 March with the gardens following shorty after on 3 April.

Visit Verulamium, St Albans

Mosaics Visit Verulamium, St Albans — The historic Roman city of Verulamium.

St Albans was once one of the largest Roman cities in Britain – Verulamium. Grab a coffee and wander into the Roman Verulamium Park. On the far side is the Hypocaust (a Roman mosaic). From here head to the Cathedral – an amazing mix of architectural styles, with much of it built in the 11th century from Roman materials.

WORCESTERSHIRE

E-Bike Adventure, Broadway Tower, Broadway

E-Bike Adventure, Broadway Tower, Broadway

Take the family e-biking around one of the most iconic landmarks in Worcs. Head to Broadway Tower where you’ll get breathtaking views for miles around as you pedal en famille around lovely Cotswolds trails. Due to reopen on 12 April (make sure to check ahead), the electric bikes can be hired from Tower Barn from 10am to 4pm daily, so no having to tussle with a bike rack before you set off! Book your slot online and when you’re all pedalled out, explore the Tower itself, the Nuclear Bunker, gift shop and grab some picnic snacks from the pop-up Shepherd’s Hut or Morris & Brown cafe.

SUSSEX

The South Downs

Glorious views, wide open spaces, the coast just below you and what feels like the world at your feet. The South Downs are the perfect place for a picnic, to blow the cobwebs away, for a hike or bike ride, or just to escape the stresses of everyday life and get up there where the air is clear. Bring a flask and a picnic – there are no shops or cafes up here although you’ll find plenty of ice cream vans in the warmer months at some of the busier car parks. Head up from any one of the innumerate footpaths or bridleways, if you’re going by car: Devil’s Dyke or Ditchling Beacon in Brighton, Cissbury Ring in Worthing, Chanctonbury Ring near Steyning and Whiteways at the top of Bury Hill near Arundel all have parking.

Brighton beach

The hub that is Brighton beach is a big lure and one of the many reasons Brighton was recently voted the best place to live in Sussex by Muddy readers. Walk, cycle, skate, scoot or run for miles along the famous front or head to Undercliff Walk (closed between the marina and Saltdean due to erosion). Expect the bustle of stalls, activities, vendors, foodie haunts, cool bars and entertainment to reopen as we remerge from lockdown. From 26 April, you’ll also be able to check out the city’s first permanent food hall on the seafront.

SOMERSET

The Newt, between Bruton & Castle Cary

Splash out on a visit to Somerset’s swankiest country estate, The Newt. Exquisitely laid out gardens and grounds (much of it in homage to the apple and in particular, the cider apple), woodlands with tree top aerial walkway, lakes and more as detailed in our review here. The farm shop, outdoor snacks and picnics from the Cyder Bar are available from now; outdoor breakfasts and lunches from the Garden Cafe from Mon 12 April. At £30 per person, it’s pricey but that gives you a year’s garden membership and is sure to entice you back.

SUP in the city of Bath

Every kind of paddle boarding – sit down, stand up, on a giant paddle board, with your dog (not compulsory) – with outdoor experts Original Wild on the river Avon in the centre of the World Heritage City of Bath. Why not do a spot of sightseeing as you go? From Sat 17 April.

KENT

Hever Castle, Hever

Hever Castle is set in rural countryside 30 miles from central London and three miles southeast of Edenbridge on the Kent/Surrey/Sussex border. Once – most famously – Anne Boleyn’s childhood home, it’s one of our favourite historic destinations. It’s not too big and sprawling, so easy to negotiate, and stands in a beautiful area that’s steeped in all that marvellous Tudor history. With stunning gardens and lots of year-round event, there’s plenty to do here. We especially love the play areas, which include Acorn Dell, a natural playground for toddlers and children up to seven years old, or for older children (7-14 years old) there’s Tudor Towers adventure playground consisting of a wooden, nine-metre tall castle to really fire their imagination.

Elmley Nature Reserve, Isle of Sheppey

Who needs to leave the country for a safari holiday when you have Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent waiting for you? OK, we are not talking lions, tigers and bears but since 1991, Elmley has been deemed a National Nature Reserve and is an internationally recognised site for the the conservation of rare birds, plants, animals and insects. With lots of wonderful options for luxury overnight stays – either for a romantic getaway or with 3,200 acres, Elmley provides a fab family retreat for a night – there is also a family-run farm with approximately 700 cattle grazing the pasture each year plus chickens, ducks and tractors to admire. Their Wildlife Tours are resuming from Mon 29 March, and the Reserve will be open every day over the Easter hols.

Bedgebury, Goudhurst

Top travel guide the Lonely Planet has released its first ever list of the nation’s most ‘memorable, beautiful, surprising and compelling sights’ – and Kent’s very own Bedgebury Forest sits right there in the list of UK-based experiences not to be missed. If you live in Kent, you’ve probably come across this local gem, technically called Bedgebury National Pinetum, *sniff* if we’re being proper about it. With walks, bike trails, Go Ape and more, if this place doesn’t tire them out, nothing will.

WARWICKSHIRE

Charlecote Park, National Trust

Spring has sprung! Charlecote Park may be renowned for its beautiful herd of fallow deer but it’s also proud to have one of the largest flocks of rare-breed pedigree Jacob sheep in the country today – and one of the few in-house lambing teams within the National Trust. You’ll see the lambs from this rare breed pedigree herd with their characteristic chocolate-blotch fleeces in the parkland of this Victorian home from early April. It was here that the very first managed flock were introduced into England 200 years ago by George Lucy from his European travels.
