Alongside an excellent opportunity to immerse oneself in Britain's past is the chance to enjoy some quality tipples at The Old Brewery, the site's very own micro-brewery. With over 500 years of history on display from Henry VIII's Tudor Palace to Wren's Royal Hospital for Seamen and the Royal Naval College Discover Greenwich has fascinating permanent and temporary exhibitions. For the kids (and the kids at heart), there are plenty of hands-on activities. Trying on a knight's helmet is a sure fire way to keep the little ones (and dorks such as yours truly) engaged for at least a little while. For architecture fiends and history lovers there are all sorts of geek-out worthy artefacts, models and resources. It's beautiful, it's FREE and it's fun. Plus, there's quality beer!

If you are looking to see Stonehenge and Windsor Castle I would suggest you find another tour…read morecompany! My child's #1 wish for our holiday was to go Stonehenge. So we splurged and I thought that was what we purchased. While every email/text I got from them said "Stonehenge" I had in fact booked only Windsor. HORRIBLY disappointing and it felt like a bait and switch! We tried to make the best of it and went on the Windsor Tour, but what a waste of money. The guide, while very nice, didn't come in with us and really gave his opinion on current popular rather than historical information. So, if you want to go to Stonehenge, beware! You might not get what you're thinking you bought. The guide said others had the same issue. And if you want to go to Windsor Castle, take the train, listen to the free castle audio guide because their guide doesn't even come in with you, and save yourself possibly 100 USD/74.02 GBP.

We booked a trip to bath and Stonehenge through Anderson Tours. It started rough - they were an…read morehour and half late for pick up and didn't reach out to anyone. Some of the people waiting called after 20 minutes and were told the bus was stuck in traffic. When it showed up people were on it already and it appears they agreed to do individual pick ups, versus getting everyone from main spot. As there website does offer this option, I think this is a normal occurrence, which then puts the bus in london traffic and makes them run late. There was a second group being picked up for another trip at same location and by time our bus showed up their bus was already running 40 minutes late. It isn't cool, as it effects the trip. We were told we would get extra time at end in bath, but we still lost an hour and a lot of the stores were closing/closed while we were in bath. Other problems included our guide not reminding anyone about the Stonehenge app we were supposed to use there, which would have been nice. The trip itself is fine - Stonehenge is interesting and bath is nice.

There is a grassy fenced off area where you are able to feed ducks and geese - the ducks are quite shy and seem to get bullied a bit by the geese when they are trying to feed.

At intervals along the pathway there are hides which enable you to look out over the water and watch the birds in their natural habitat. We didn't manage to walk around the full circumference of the reservoir, we retreated to the visitor centre where we sat on the outside decking area and had lunch while taking in the view over the water. As it was a beautiful sunny day it made the experience very enjoyable.

There's also an aquarium, a butterfly house, and an extra exhibit (currently Lego sculptures) that you can pay to visit. The museum grounds are a great place to walk around. There are some really stunning views of the city center, plus a small farm, and lots of walking trails. This place was absolutely teeming with children, so it would be a great place to bring your little ones to run around. The grounds seem like a perfect place for a picnic - bring your own food or pick up something from the museum cafe.

The Ashdown Forest Visitor Centre is located just outside Wych Cross. It has a small museum about…read morethe Forest and also an area for temporary displays. When I visited there was a display of the Forest at war from the Bronze Age up to the First World War. There is a small shop selling books and small gifts, and a large collection of leaflets and maps. Several of these give details of walks around the area. There is also an Education area, which is presumably for groups of school children and the like. There are also boards detail what the Rangers are currently doing, where the sheep are grazing and what birds can be seen. Also, and most important, there are clean tiolets! As there are no other public ones in the Forest, I suggest you make a note of their location! There are several car parks within a ten minute drive from here where you can explore the Forest at will, but I would suggest coming here first. And watch out for the deer - on the ten minute drive from here to Hartfield I must have seen a dozen cross the road in front of me. Only problem was the camera was in the boot of the car - so keep yours handy if you want to get some pictures.

I was quite astonished when I discovered this newly opened travel agents, in the heart of London -…read morea stone's throw from Oxford Street. It's a glamorous outlet - deceptively spacious - unlike any travel agents that I've ever come across previously. Even more extraordinary, given the current economic climate. On entering, you'll see a huge world map, on one side of the wall, stickered with comments from happy travellers. To the other side, there's a comfy and inviting sofa with a plasma screen behind it. Take a seat and you'll be offered a drink, as you contemplate and ponder your next trip. There are only around six staff - with booking screens - in spite of the impressive size of the premises. It's set-up to enthuse and inspire the traveller, with space to dream and inform yourself. On my recent visit I had a lengthy chat and explored some ideas, confirming that one of my dream destinations will realise itself on my agendaone day. I wasn't made to feel pressurised, or ill-at-ease, although I didn't make a booking there and then. Instead, I was encouraged to return and experience one of their special evening events (I haven't had the chance to yet). During 'normal' office hours, it's a 'pure' travel agents (albeit luxurious and super client-friendly) but venture here in the evening and you might find it transformed into an exotic destination, featuring themed dancing and festivities. It quite turns the trend for isolated exploration, from the 'comfort' of your lonely keyboard, on its head and re-inspires enthusiasm for the expertise and input of a real travel specialist. I'll definitely consider returning when I'm ready to book, or if I'm close to the area and fancy a quick 'escape', or some enticing inspiration.
