With all my kids at home for summer I've been seriously struggling with what to do on the weekends (ages 10, 8 and 5). While researching I found HeritageXplore, which basically is a platform for historic houses in the UK!! It's great - you can find what's on near you and places to visit, with dogs as well. Some even have super fun adventure parks. Went to Newby Hall this weekend and my kids LOVED IT! Just thought I'd share.
