Tranquil, cheap day out - hours of fun!

YES!!
I have uncovered a hidden gem.....(As Tina Turner once sang) You're Simply the Best (In my opinion) and cheapest day out for a family in the UK.

Stanwick Lakes

Set in the heart of Northamptonshires Nene valley, over an area of over 750 acres - Stanwick Lakes, is simply the Best!
It took us around 40 minutes to travel here from Daventry and on arrival we parked very easily. You will need to pay a fee of £5.50 for parking before you depart. This covers your whole day.

As we climbed out of the car we stood at the foot of a huge, wooden, adventure playground. How I wished to be a kid again!
A giant sand pit surrounds part of the park that houses climbing poles.

When your kids are running about laughing, you know that they are trully enjoying themselves. For me thats a perfect day out.
Where you find sand, we shall dig. Dont yiu always find that for some reason kids & sometimes even adults find it mesmorizing to just simply dig in sand. Take buckets and spades with you to increase the fun.
Water runs through this area down through an irrigation system and kids love filling up buckets and pouring them in a sandy hole they have dug.

So what more could you possibly want on a day out?

You want more?

How about:

Fishing, horse riding, picnic areas, BBQ Facility, sculptures, shop / cafe,  visitor centre, walking routes, adventure train, assault course, bird watching and a discovery centre..... & Breathe!
