Stanwick Lakes
Went for the afternoon on Thu, fantastic. Ok, well the lovely weather made it, but the play area is great.
We had a picnic and basically only got as far as the central play area, the kids stripped down to t-shirts and pants and played in the water all afternoon. Friend and I sat on picnic rug and chatted.
Really worth a visit if you live in the area, we are an hour away (were in the area for a couple of days) and I think we may consider it for a day out again.
