Croft is one of the fastest tracks in the country and a great place to see cars at high speed…read more The banking around a large part of the circuit allows spectators to see the majority of the track and also provides a good base for families. Kids can play on the grass and parents know they wont come to any harm. There is free access to the pits and paddock which means between races you can get close up tot he cars (and drivers!), there is also plenty of free carparks. The only thing which lets Croft down are the lack of perminant facilities like toilets, but plenty of portaloos are available on race weekends. Always a good day out and gret fun for all the family.

Not exactly that close to Newcastle but not too far either! For my baby brother's birthday we…read moredecided to burn off all the cake calories with some adrenaline fueled laps at Go karting. Now having been to the Warrington circuit previously which I consider to be one of, if not THE best Go Karting venue in the country, this one was a much better experience than I anticipated. (To give you an idea of what I mean, this track was 200m, The Warrington track is (wait for it) 1000m with 35 corners!! Yep, exactly!) If I remember correctly we paid £30 each for 55 laps. The other options were £20 for 30 laps and £25 for 40 laps. from experience I know that time flies when you're Go karting so I opted for 55 laps. And let me tell you, time flew by! Just as we were getting into the thick of racing battle it was time to go. We were the last ones on the track which was fantastic as we were literally just racing each other. The track was huge but just long enough with two difficult hair pin turns. The major straight on the track was long enough to build upto and maintain top speed for long enough to have you heart lodge in your mouth as you slammed the breaks on for the hair pin bend at the end. All in all this is a decent venue for Go karting and did firmly put me in the mood to start planning a yelp Go Karting adventure at the Warrington track. Who's in?

There are about 20 horses here, each with their own stable. Horses are available to rent which does cost a lot but it is quite competitive compared to others. If you do this you get to ride them, clean them out, feed them. A close friend of mine has one and I often visit with her, it's a wonderful experience. All of the equipment can be provided at a bit of an extra cost but the sizes are limited. The instructors are really helpful and definitely help increase your confidence.
