Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa

Chippenham, Wiltshire

Proper grown-up grandeur that doesn't flinch at muddy wellies. Little ones disappear into the Hideaway playroom, older kids get falconry, archery and pony time at the stables, and everyone gets bikes with trailers to roam the 500-acre park. Book a cottage for space, then sneak to the spa during family pool hours. Bath is twenty minutes away.

Days out nearby

  • We The Curious ↗

    ~19 miles · ~30 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.

  • SS Great Britain ↗

    ~20 miles · ~30 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.

  • Bristol Zoo Project ↗

    ~21 miles · ~30 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.

  • Longleat ↗

    ~24 miles · ~30 mins

    Safari park · ideal day trip

    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.

  • Wookey Hole Caves ↗

    ~31 miles · ~30 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.

  • Cheddar Gorge & Caves ↗

    ~32 miles · ~45 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.

  • Wildlife park · ideal day trip

    Rhinos grazing on the lawn in front of a Victorian manor sums up this park's charm. A narrow-gauge railway, walk-through lemur enclosure and a big adventure playground make it a relaxed family day in the heart of the Cotswolds.

  • Cotswold Farm Park ↗

    ~46 miles · ~1 hr

    Farm park · excellent toddler activity

    Adam Henson's farm showcases rare British breeds, with animal handling, tractor rides, jumping pillows and a woodland adventure trail. It is surrounded by Cotswolds villages and boutique hotels, so ideal for a weekend.
