Outside of London, Blackpool is the next best place to use a Merlin Pass. It may even be ahead of London – and the absolutely best place to go if you’re a Merlin Annual Pass holder. We went to Blackpool for the first time recently and loved how much there was to do with our Merlin Pass in hand. So I thought I’d give you a little run down of…

We love venturing into London and go there as often as we can as a family. But, if you’re from further afield or don’t get to visit the capital very often then you might need to make a more structured itinerary for your visit. I’ve put together our favourite family friendly places to visit in London and I hope it helps you make the most of your trip. London Days…

Uppark House is in Petersfield, West Sussex. Situated on a hill in the heart of the countryside it feels like you’ve already been on an adventure by the time you park up at the gates.

Last weekend we went to Blackpool for the very first time and loved it. It was such a beautiful seafront and there is so much to do in Blackpool – with arcades being a huge part of that. But, when it comes to arcades there is only one that we needed to visit – Coral Island Blackpool. Coral Island is situated in prime position on the main promenade opposite Blackpool…
A structure that dominates the banks of the Tiber in Rome is Castel Sant’Angelo, which is in a prominent place right outside the Vatican City and it’s a must see attraction when travelling with children to Rome. There is so much Castel Sant’Angelo history, it was initially commissioned by a Roman Emperor Hadrian and there has been a structure of sorts on the site since 134 AD. It has been…
