Cheltenham, Oxford, Worcester, Warwickshire, Milton Keynes or any of the surrounding areas.
She is easy going, likes animals, making things, anime, any activity really.
I don't know the area but I have a full spare day midweek in August to occupy her with my husband in tow.

There’s Warwick castle & Anne Hathaway’s cottage? Both really fun and there is a birds show at Warwick Castle.

Oxford is great for wandering round and shopping; there’s the museum of Natural History, and the Ashmolean has an excellent exhibition on Japanese art and photography (I think it’s called Tokyo) which my 14yo is keen on. Blackwells art shop is great for posters and there are a lot of Harry Potter shops etc

Woburn Safari park
Blenheim Palace
Birdland

Cotswold Wildlife Park (Burford)
Crocodiles of the World (Brize Norton) - more like a couple of hours to half-day than a full day trip.

We could fit in more than one, we will be coming down through those counties towards Milton Keynes.

If the weather is good, Hailes Abbey in Cheltenham is lovely to wander round in the sunshine. It's English Heritage, so free for members.

My 14 yr old DD would love to shop in any of those places Wink

Blenheim Palace is amazing and has lots on over the summer. Woodstock itself is really nice too for lunch - great gelato shop! I also think Cotswold Wildlife Park is great and nearby Burford is good for cafes etc.

Thank you everybody. She perused all of the choices and went with Woburn safari park.
