7 Free Days Out and Things to Do With Kids in Buckinghamshire

Check out these things to do with the kids in Buckinghamshire, whether it's visiting Quainton Windmill, or letting off steam at Wendover Woods, I've got you covered, and best of all it's free!

I'm still adding to this list, so keep checking back, please get in touch if you've got any hidden gems to recommend, or if you have a picture to replace any that I'm missing (ie the places that have words). As a thank you, I'll send a 20% money off voucher to spend in the shop for anything that gets used.

I've tried to make sure that all the details on here are up to date, but please do double check on the websites I've linked to before you travel in case anything has changed. Although I'd love to be able to travel to every place on here, time and practicalities dictate that I've sourced a lot of information from 3rd parties so some information might be incorrect (Please let me know if you spot anything that is so that I can amend it). 

Especially important: double check parking costs to avoid any nasty surprises on a day out that was supposed to be cheap, and obviously, be careful if you're visiting places with kids, especially where the terrain is dangerous (ruins, cliffs, beaches, slippy paths etc). 

Happy adventuring!

Visit on Sundays 10 - 12.30 to see the sails turning (if there's enough wind), and have a peek inside. (volunteers dependent) There's a pretty steep stairs/ ladder to climb inside, so not great for little kids. Donations are very appreciated so they can continue the restoration work.
