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!
Stunning views, on a good day you can see all the way to Loch Lomond. There's a memorial remembering the WW2 Free French forces, in the from of an anchor.
Learn about local history, and see artefacts from around the world, including natural history.
Housed in the old fire station, the volunteers running it are all ex-fire fighters. The kids will love looking at all the old vehicles, and equipment, and learning more about fire fighting.
Beautiful walks, with access to the acquaduct, a designated ancient monument. There are 2 trails to choose from, one is a 12km walk, or a shorter nature trail walk, both start out from the visitor centre where there are also exhibits to explore.
A lovely family park, with a pets corner, playground, sports pitches, walled garden, and an ampitheatre.
You know what the kids would love to be filling in as you're exploring new places? An epic activity pack! And it should be filled with easy activity ideas, and stickers, and personalised!
