The Best Places To Visit in England

Luckily, I’ve teamed up with a whole host of top UK bloggers to bring you a round-up of the best places to visit in England with the kids. The hard part is getting to them all!

For me and my family, we like to take short trips to explore the surrounding countryside –  and it’s amazing what you find right on your own doorstep. Just a few miles outside of London is a wealth of open spaces that are simply breathtaking.

National Trust For Kids

We’re members of the National Trust, who look after over 350 sites across Britain. Alongside its members and 62,000 volunteers, they’re doing a sterling job preserving the country’s green spaces, coastlines, woodlands, historic houses, gardens and monuments – all the while, providing families with hours of outdoor fun. Here are our three favourite National Trust  sites in the south-east:

Box Hill

Some of the Best Places to Visit In England With Kids

Box Hill in Leatherhead is a summit of the North Downs and takes its name from the ancient box woodland found on the steepest west-facing chalk slopes overlooking the River Mole. We go regularly – sometimes to enjoy the stunning views across Surrey but more often than not to take Monkey along their excellent Nature Trail. Using the woodland around from tree trunk assault courses, ropes swings and dens – the walk takes you around a circuit over the pretty stepping stones across the river. We never fail to enjoy visiting Box Hill whatever the weather – each season brings its own rewards.

Chartwell House

Some of the Best Places to Visit In England With Kids

Chartwell was the much-loved Churchill family home and the place from which Sir Winston drew inspiration from 1924 until the end of his life. Not only can you discover more about Churchill’s life through the tour of his historic house but it’s the estate and the gardens that we love exploring. Meanwhile, the beautiful black swans on the lake, the kitchen gardens, the swings, Canadian Camp, Doormouse Den and Bomb Crater situated north of the estate are fantastic for children.

Nymans

Some of the Best Places to Visit In England With Kids

Not only do you get rolling green fields and hills at Nymans, but there are also shady woodland nooks – with an educational trail for children amongst the various kid-friendly activities on offer, and the magnificent Lime Avenue, which is flanked by giant lime trees. But the main attraction at Nymans has to be its gardens. There’s a rock garden, sunk garden, heather garden, top garden, rose garden and walled garden.
