If you want to treat the kids to something absolutely amazing, a trip to the Fun Farm is definitely on the cards. They can explore the Cave of Adventure and meet Barry the Bat, climb the multi-level maze and cross the rope bridge, take a swim in the ball pools and whoosh down the snake tube slides. Once they've built up an appetite, it's time to enjoy some of Pirate Pete's tasty treats, which include everything from fish and chips to a sausage and mash mountain.

As for the kids, it will be hard to tear them away from the water flume and splash pools, and there are even activity camps to keep them active and fuel their creativity.

Depending on what time of year you visit, you could catch the one hundred varieties of sweet pea, stunning snowdrops, or a range of other seasonal displays that will bring a smile to your face. There's even a vegetable garden, which is a great way to learn more about growing your own food and teaching children about being green.

This incredible estate comprises 16,000 acres, of which 1,654 acres are woodland and 2,000 acres permanent grassland. A variety of cattle and sheep graze all around and the views are absolutely breathtaking. The present castle is the fourth to have stood on the site since Norman times, completed in the early 19th century after previous buildings suffered complete or partial destruction during the Wars of the Roses, the Civil War and a major fire in 1816. Its rooms include the elegant Elizabeth Saloon, the majestic State Dining Room and impressive military antiquities in the Guard Room. The castle contains many notable works of art, outstanding collections of furniture, porcelain, silks and tapestries, plus sculptures that extend outside into the Rose and Statue Gardens. Whether you're a history buff, a lover of the British countryside or simply fancy a fascinating day out, we strongly recommend Belvoir Castle.

Travel With Confidence
We have a specialist cleaner onboard for the whole journey, our cleaning teams focus on those areas that customers and staff are more likely to touch, such as toilets, handrails, door buttons and tables. We have also introduced a powerful "virucidal" sanitiser to assist in the fight against Covid-19. Platform 7 at Paragon Station has a hand sanitiser dispenser installed and we have also ensured each of our trains has soap and running water in our onboard toilets so you can maintain your own hand hygiene.

Following government guidelines you must wear a face covering on all trains and in stations in England. A face covering is a covering of any type which covers your nose and mouth. Children under 11 are not required to wear a face covering. For more information, please see the current government guidance on face coverings. To make your journey safer, British Transport Police are issuing £100 fines for people who do not wear a face covering and are not exempt.
