Days out

[girlygirl2]

Hi

I am on holiday for two weeks from Monday so I would like to have some nice days out - can anyone recommend some? I live in Shropshire so ideally no more than 2 hours car drive away would be great. I have a 2 year old Daughter and Husband in tow - lol!

Thanks guys!

West Wales is lovely,very scenic and for the kids Tenby and Saundersfoot with "Blue Star" dog free beaches. Then there's Oakwood Theme Park and Folly Farm where the kids feed the baby animals.

Web site here, or visit a nearby Tourist Information Centre, they will have loads of ideas.

Llangolen in Wales, just outside Shropshire. Lovely town with lots of touristy things to do like steam train, canal etc.
