Lots of people who stay here have children. So I thought there ought to be a page for them. Here are some ideas for things to see and do on a children's day out:

• Get close to wild animals in the outdoors at Marwell Zoo near Winchester!
• Go in for plenty of really scary rides at Paulton's Park just fifteen minutes away!
• Feed the baby goats yourselves at Longdown Farm five miles away!
• See the millwheels turn at Eling Tide Mill to grind New Forest wheat into the flour we use to bake our bread!
• Swim in the outdoor sea water Swimming Pool at Lymington!
• Climb lots of steps to see the view from Salisbury Cathedral or Winchester Cathedral towers!
• Imagine plenty of blood and thunder aboard HMS Warrior in Portsmouth Dockyard!
• Ride behind a steam train on the Watercress Line near Alton and the Swanage Railway in Dorset!

  There must be something you can do as a family even on a wet day!
