Festival Gardens, Otterspool

If you're hoping to calm the children down, then the Festival Gardens is a beautiful, tranquil place featuring pagodas, oriental gardens, waterways, lakes and waterfalls.

You'll feel like you're been transported to an exotic hideaway. Take a stroll through the gardens, follow the woodland trails that lead to Otterspool Promenade or let the kids have a climb on the adventure playground.

Keep an eye out for a variety of flowers, animals and birds and if you're bringing the family dog be sure to keep it on a lead.

There is no cafe but there is mobile catering and an ice cream van during the summer months or why not bring your own picnic?
