ANYTIME

Botanical Gardens, lots of different areas to explore - childrens garden is specially designed for kids and fun for first walkers and up. Lots of places to eat, each offering different styles of dining, although on a nice day a picnic is ideal. You're never too far from a toilet. Expensive for a one off trip, but the membership is good value if you go every few months or more.

National Trust park, house and garden - the park is free to access, you need to buy tickets or be a NT member to get in to the house and garden. Good for longer walks, spotting cows and horses then heading to the cafe for coffee or lunch. Parking is expensive if you're not a NT member.
