Entertaining children for a few hours or a few days is easy in this area – you are really spoilt for choice. Most of the activities are aimed at acquainting youngsters with nature in the most fun-packed way. The attractions mentioned here are those that are firmly orientated towards children, but there are many others too that will be of interest.
The country parks all offer a great programme of events that children will love - see our events page for details. |
