Discover Lotherton, a country estate, historic hall and Wildlife World zoo.
The expansive grounds and gardens are lovely walking spots, with or without four-legged companions. The two playgrounds mean there’s plenty of space for running about and letting off steam, with zip wires for older children to enjoy. The evolving zoo, Wildlife World, is a real highlight and visitors can see the Humboldt penguins splash and swim in their pool. To discover the history of the estate step inside the former home of the Gascoigne family and wander the rooms. The traditional stables area courtyard is where you’ll find the Stables café serving a range of lunch options, cakes and ice creams.
Children under 5 can visit for free.
