Bromson Hill Farm

There’s a lot going on in this area, especially if you’re interested in history. Warwick Castle (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to start – here you can tour the grand State Rooms, stroll through the grounds, have a go at archery and take the kids to the Zog-themed play areas (or lose them in the Horrible Histories Maze). Also close by is Stratford-upon-Avon (25 minutes), home to all sorts of Shakespeare-related attractions including the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Shakespeare’s Schoolroom as well as Tudor World. For heritage of a different kind, steer instead to the British Motor Museum (10 minutes). If you need something to entertain the kids, it’s handy to know that St Nicholas’ Park (10 minutes) is on hand with things like crazy golf and paddle boat hire – or you could head to Hatton Adventure World (20 minutes) for animal attractions (including a guinea pig village and sheep racing), laser combat and various play areas, plus pick-your-own crops in season.
