Best places: Picnic grounds in United Kingdom

An 1880's station with steam engines on display, a museum & gift shop on a heritage railway line.

👍👍 As someone from the southern United States, I was quite shocked to find a veritable cornucopia of palms, fern trees, gingers, and other subtropical plants in Cornwall. If you're in Penzance and enjoy botany, this is a highly recommended stop, as although it may not have glasshouses the outdoor diver...

👍 Nice beach with an interesting shipwreck. Good parking and toilet facilities. When the tide is out you can go for long walks out towards the sea.

👍👍 It’s a splendid park with playground and vast grassland. There is a lovely stream too. So nice to have a walk in the park.

Beauty spot with animal encounters and education, an indoor theatre and children’s entertainment.

👍👍 Stunning views, table's with BBQ plates

A playground, cafe, skate park & ornamental gardens are the draw at this popular community park.

Opening for breakfast at 8.30am each morning, this simple forestry cafe serves local produce.

Public parkland with horse riding, cycling paths and a large wooden climbing area, plus a bistro.

👍👍 Good parking with large overspill field. Sharing up-to-date parking charges as I found out difficult to find info before arriving. Machine does only allow coins. Play area is very good, but very busy. Dog field is huge and a great run around area for the pooches. NB Very little shade in playground o...

Vast park including a walled garden, a sensory garden, a guinea pig 'village' and sculptures.

👍👍 Perfect corner of the world! This place is so wonderful. We loved visiting the area this November. Castle Roy was perfect and the view was amazing. The kids loved Murdo and his sheep friend.

👍👍 I recently spent the afternoon at Norse Hawk in a group of 6 for a birthday treat for my dad who is 75 years young. We did the birthday package of Axe Throwing and Viking Games. Everyone had a great time, Sophie is an excellent host and instructor and made it a really fun experience. It was very enj...

👍👍 This place is finally wheelchair friendly thanks to the efforts of everybody who funded the lift into the museum! The lift fits one person and a powered wheelchair/wheelchair. The disabled toilet is outside and located by the other toilets. It's a surprisingly spacious toilet so I was quite impresse...

👍 Great place for the little music festival that was going on and a serious spot for plane spotting

👍👍 This place is Beautiful 🤩. For everyone who likes a paddle, walk, a best river with a Ford. I think only modified jeeps etc can pass over here, it's deepest at winter. I've only ever only witnessed a vehicle cross here, aha it was a jeep with snorkel exhaust 👌

👍👍 Had lunch, They had a decent selection of hot meals. Our meals were both good and decent value. Good that they have kept the character of the old mill and kept parts of the workings.

👍👍 Love this area of the new forest. Always used to come here whilst on holiday and play on the grass. Great for families and to have a nice walk. Definitely a favourite of my family and I will probably take my children here too one day.

👍👍 Fantastic place to take the dog they can even go in the river for a cool down (kids like to as well). Would highly recommend. Picnic tables as well in the meadow. Lot's of dog bins as well. Only bad thing is carpark shuts at 6.30pm even in the summer months which is sad as could have many many more...
