 A great day out for all the family |
Bath Road Pixash Lane Bath, North East Somerset United Kingdom +44 117 986 4929 |
Avon Valley Country Park is situated midway between Bath and Bristol and proves a popular choice for families during the summer months. However, the owners are well aware that a British summer may involve frequent showers and have adapted the park accordingly; a recent addition is an undercover assault course, so rain doesn't have to stop play. In addition, there is an adventure playground, barbecue facilities, miniature railway, quad bikes, ball pool and a fascinating riverside trail which allows close contact with many of the unusual animals in the park.

World's first drive-through safari park |
Frome Road Bath, Wiltshire BA12 7NW United Kingdom +44 1985 84 4400 http://www.longleat.co.uk |
This safari park has extensive collections of some of the world's most magnificent animals, including elephants, tigers, wolves, rhinos and the famous lions, all roaming freely, while people must remain "caged" in their cars. The park is a living monument to the 6th Marquess of Bath, whose pioneering spirit and capacity for lateral thinking led him to be the first of the aristocracy to open his house and land to the public in 1949.
