A great family day out doesn’t have to be expensive. Sometimes just going for a walk can be fun, educational, and a chance to make special memories together and share some quality time. Here are a few of our family-friendly favorites.

Blickling Estate, Norfolk

This four-mile multi-use path has a surface that’s great for pushchairs. If you’re out for a family walk and the kids won’t leave the house without their pushbikes, then this is perfect for them. Please bear in mind that you’ll need to book a ticket before visiting.

Coughton Court family walk, Warwickshire

Get your boots on and go for a gentle walk at Coughton Court. This walk will take you across a field with grass and flowers. You’ll need to book a ticket before visiting, though.

Corfe Common history walk

A gentle walk exploring historic Corfe Castle. The kids will love checking out the castle ruins. Don’t forget to book a ticket before visiting.

Crom wildlife walk

This walk through the nature reserve at Crom, Northern Ireland is filled with wildlife. You could also come across one of the oldest yew trees in Ireland. This easy walk is great for all the family to get some fresh air. Booking a ticket before visiting is a must.

Sutton Hoo, Suffolk

This is a great walk for little legs. This beautiful area is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. Even though no tours or guides are currently offered, you can still walk around the ancient places. Tickets are required before visiting.
