A travel loving family with lots of adventures to share
A brilliant start to the new year and just what we needed to blow the cobwebs away after a late night, a beautiful walk in the fresh forest air. Mallards Pike is a gorgeous spot for a picnic with plenty of benches around the lake and a little cafe serving snacks, cakes and hot drinks.… Continue reading Family walks in the Forest of Dean – Mallards Pike
Soudley Ponds in the Forest of Dean is one of our favourite places for a walk and picnic. It’s so unspoilt and hidden away from tourists, I almost don’t want to share it. With a few last days of summer sun, it was the perfect place to be for some cool, fresh forest air. There… Continue reading Family walks in the Forest of Dean – Soudley Ponds

We had a great morning walking around the grounds of the haunted Woodchester Park near Stroud this weekend. With temperatures at around 30˚c and miles away from water, a shady woodland family walk was just what we all needed – Coco included. This unique unfinished gothic property has beautiful grounds to explore with different trails… Continue reading Family walks in the Cotswolds – Woodchester Park

Even in Covid times, with most of the UK descending on the coasts of Britain for May half term, the beaches didn't feel crowded. Getting there early is a good idea to avoid traffic jams on the narrow country roads though.… Continue reading Family break in the Gower – finally some sunshine!
