One of the top attractions has to be Longleat Safari Park. This drive-through experience is a hit with all family members. Here you can see lions, tigers, wolves, koalas, red pandas, sea lions and so much more. A full fun family day out that will be long remembered by all. Pre-booking is essential!

For a more relaxed pace, why not spend a day at the National Trust property, Stourhead? This estate, situated on the Wiltshire/ Somerset border holds breathtaking 18th-century landscaped gardens, with lakeside walks, classical temples and grottoes. You can also visit Stourhead House, with its fantastic Regency library and impressive art collection. If you are feeling adventurous then climb the 205 steps up to King Alfred's Tower with magnificent views over 3 counties, Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset.

If you are wanting to combine walking with outdoor art, then a visit to the Westbury White Horse is for you. Head to the slopes above Salisbury Plain where local legend has it that the Westbury White Horse commemorates King Alfred's victory over the Vikings in AD878. An undulating 4-mile circuit takes to this spectacular attraction and then onwards to Bratton Camp, an iron age hill fort and neolithic long barrow.
