Can you all recommend the best National trust places to visit with kids ages 12,10 and 6 need to have some sort of playground or child fun things to do as history will keep them happy for about an hour lol but we pay for passes just to access a place by us so thought be nice to try others these holidays thanks?

Waddesdon Manor has great playgrounds for all ages. Last time I was there a school party of older teenagers were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

What area of the country are you in and how far are you willing to travel?

[Radom]

We don’t mind traveling abit as we travel two and half hours to see family when we can we can easily do Lincolnshire,Nottinghamshire,Derbyshire way etc but want it to be worth traveling for that’s all xx

Anglesey Abbey is amazing for kids. It has tree houses and hammocks and an eco toilet and all sorts. Plus the shop and cafe are very nice. And the house is really interesting.

Thanks people some of these look interesting and hoping to do at least one these holidays maybe more if time/money allows as kids might be off but we still have to work 😕But getting ideas for all the other holidays they have to xx

There is a huge field at Attingham with lots of lovely play equipment and mazes and tunnels made out of natural stuff like wood and vines etc. There is deer feeding and adventure trails as well as farm animals to feed.

Tatton Park in Knutsford has quite a lot for children in addition to the Hall itself. There is an adventure playground and a farmyard with lots of farm animals. Also acres of space to run around in.

Lyme Park in Cheshire is lovely and also has a Wardrobe Department so you can dress in period costume (adults as well as children!)

Quarry Bank Mill also in Cheshire has lots of hands on exhibits to interest children and the Apprentice House is very interesting too.
