Kynren
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A wonderful experience. All of the volunteers were amazing, so happy and proud to be part of Kynren. Expertly organised, some other attractions could learn a lot from these guys about logistics and planning.

Low Barns Nature Reserve and Visitor Centre
Nature preserve
👍👍 Fantastic place for nature lovers. Small parking so not many people can visit at the same time. Very easy, wheelchair accessible paths where you can spot a lot of interesting plants and insects.

Auckland Castle Deer House
Historical landmark

The Auckland Project
Charity
🫤 Great idea. But we are two pensioners with an interest in visiting the BAP who were required to pay in excess of £70 to see the Spanish Gallery, the Miners Art and the Castle. It was beyond our means, especially with excessive car park charges to add.
