Scouts and Guides from all over the world still visit the island today although, as naked flames are banned on the island, no more camp fires, I'm afraid. The island is accessible by ferry from several places on the mainland, including Poole Quay and Bournemouth Pier and there is an entry fee of about £5 but it's worth it. Once there you are free to wander around the woodland areas on your own. We took some kind of squirrel tour and our guide was a mine of information about the island and where best to spot the shy red squirrels. And we saw quite a few of the little darlings, if only fleetingly. We also had sightings of other animals and fowl whose antecedents had been domesticated but set free by one of the island's eccentric owners in the 1930s, I think. On the day that we went it was a bit rainy at times but we still had a great time. There is the customary National Trust gift shop where you can stock up on all the squirrel and scout related items that you need while you're waiting for the ferry back to the mainland and, of course, a tea room. I would go back just for the squirrels. Aaaah.

Now obviously it's not one of Cardiff main attractions and if you're reading this from across the waters you're better off just checking out on yelp other than booking flights over. Its nothing spectacular but is definitely worth mentioning for its quirkiness. One of the prettier round about's the city has to offer!

I'm just a bit claustrophobic and the tour was presented in a way (of course after paying the fee), in the film, the height of the dummy walls in the anteroom, I thought I could manage walking through. Noone tells you that you are standing bent (the walls at the beginning of the tour aren't as high as in the anteroom and I'm only 165cm), and therefore closed in from all sides, in that line of people while listening to the tour guide in the front of the line. It would have been no problem for me to walk there, but not to stand there bent for minutes not knowing how long this would take. This was too much, so 50 metres maybe in the Underground Passages. The stylish vestibule could use some additional information.

You can walk around all the rooms and then view the garden. In the garden there is an unusual garden house that is worth seeing. Well worth it if you are in the area.

The gardens themselves are compact, serene and filled with little hidden gems everywhere. Wander. Rest. Contemplate. Fun fact: one of the thorn bushes here was reputedly planted by Joseph of Arimathea during his pilgrimage here, using a piece of the Crown of Thorns.

It's always a risky business going back to places we remember from our pre adulthood and time can sometimes be cruel to this kind of place. Babbacombe Model Village has kept its wonderfully quaint cuteness and charm I am pleased to report. Not much has changed (in the nicest possible way) and the miniature figures have been lovingly maintained by the dedicated team here. My favourite scene is still the village cricket ground but we were also amused by the mock shop names and plays on words as you walk around and take in each mini scene. A sharp March morning probably meant we took a brisker walk than if we'd ventured here in summer and I'd say it would be a somewhat miserable walk in the rain so try and catch it in the sunshine if you can. If you are taking children make sure you let them know the game of where's wally they can play to spot the popular characters in amongst the other inhabitants, as it just adds an extra level of entertainment for them. I'd struggle to see how you'd spend more than 2 hours here but I cannot stress how lovely the walk around is, serving as a peaceful break from sandcastles, arcades and fish and chips. I'd love to come on one of the evening where they light up the village with illuminations as would think it adds a whole other level of realism to the place which conversely probably only makes it feel more magical. One word, lovely.

I'm so used to the winding back roads of Bath, the independent shops and the local way of life. So when my friends came down to escape the Big Smoke for the weekend I took full advantage of being a tourist for the day! We scratched off a couple of options; bus tour? 'We get on a bus everyday!' Trip around the Baths? 'I've already been on a school trip!' Boat trip? ... A resounding yes! With plenty of trips to choose from, we ended up going on the next one that was leaving the lock, and I'm really pleased we did. The hour round trip cost just £6 for a guided tour and some bread to feed the ducks. We saw the first corset factory in England, the lowest bridge in Bath and everything in between. An informative and fun way to spend an hour for locals and tourists alike!

At one point, pigs took over the city with 106 fully sized painted pigs dotted in every street, park and underpass. I won't bore you with history, but the history behind the project dates back to 863BC when Bladud and his pigs were travelling the country in search for a new residence when he, and his beloved animals, contracted leprosy. But, whilst travelling through Bath Bladud's pigs rolled in the hot mud around Bath's springs and were miraculously cured! Sadly, all the pigs have now been auctioned for charity, but you'll still be able to find one or two dotted around so keep your eyes peeled! The workshop which made the pigs is still there selling posters, cards and mini pig statues.
