Center Parcs Longleat Forest
Warminster, Wiltshire
Probably the prettiest of the villages: hilly, mature woodland with deer wandering between lodges and a lake at its heart. Pair it with a day at Longleat Safari Park next door and the kids won't stop talking about the weekend for months.

Days out nearby
~2 miles · ~15 mins
Safari park · nearby attraction
Driving through the lion reserve with monkeys clambering over the car is a childhood memory in the making. Beyond the safari there is a hedge maze, an adventure castle playground, boat rides and the stately house itself, enough for two full days.
~25 miles · ~45 mins
Adventure park · ideal day trip
Underground caves with a witch legend, plus a dinosaur valley, adventure golf, a circus show and a Victorian penny arcade. A full day of variety, close to Bath and Wells.
~31 miles · ~30 mins
Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip
Explore show caves with dramatic stalactites, climb the 274-step lookout and walk along the gorge's cliff top. A good mix of adventure and geology, near Wells and the Mendips.
~31 miles · ~45 mins
Science centre · rainy day option
Bristol's hands-on science centre with hundreds of interactive exhibits and a 3D planetarium. Great on a wet day during a Bristol or Bath weekend.
~32 miles · ~45 mins
Castle / historic · ideal day trip
Brunel's iron ship sits in a dry dock with a glass 'sea' you can walk beneath, and children can climb the rigging, explore cabins and smell the galley. Immersive history right on Bristol's harbourside.
~38 miles · ~45 mins
Zoo · ideal day trip
Bristol's zoo moved to open woodland on the city's edge, so animals such as gorillas, okapi and red river hogs have far more room. Children get woodland trails and big play spaces, and it fits easily into a Bristol or Bath weekend.
~40 miles · ~45 mins
Theme park · ideal day trip
An Alice-in-Wonderland themed park with gentle rides, a hedge maze and big indoor play zones, perfect for toddlers and young children. Good backup for rainy days near Bournemouth and the New Forest.
Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre ↗
~41 miles · ~45 mins
Wildlife park · ideal day trip
A rescue centre for chimpanzees, orangutans and gibbons, with large wooded enclosures and keeper talks that explain each animal's story. Children are captivated by the chimp troops, and there is a huge adventure playground for afterwards.
