The Llama Park - Forest Row Sussex

The Llama Park

 We arranged to meet up with family and wanted to go somewhere between our two homes so we settled on trying out the Llama park! Its not just llamas there are other farm animals - pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, Shetland ponies and a random reindeer! You can buy a bag of food to feed certain animals at the entrance.  








The walk around the fields and animals did not actually take very long, we probably spent an hour walking before we had got back to the start. Although there was a woods that could be explored but it was not very buggy friendly.  The rest of the park was fine for buggies - a little bumpy in places but not unmanageable.   
 
Once you have walked around the animals you get to the picnic and play area.  They have a permanent bouncy castle that's free to go on as much as you like.  This was a bit hit with Oliver and my nephew Max! I may have had a little turn...

 The play area was pretty cool, several slides and climbing apparatus a bit like a trim trail.  Watch out for the peacock who likes to see what everyone's got for lunch!



 

 
The cafe we popped in for an ice cream before heading home, they did sell food and drink as well although it was fairly pricey.  

 It was an enjoyable afternoon out but it did feel a bit expensive overall for the facilities they had on offer.  £10 per adult, £8 per child, under 2 years is free.  It was a similar price to other farms where there there is plenty to entertain for a whole day, where I'd say at the llama park you get maybe 3 hours worth. 

 One of the things they advertise is taking a llama for a walk which sounds fun but its £40 per person or a family (2 adults 2 children) £60 for 45 minutes which seems a bit unaffordable unless you have a major llama fan on your hands and its a birthday present?! Kids have to be 6 years or older to take part in the llama walks.

 We had a lovely time and if you live local I'd say its worth an afternoon out but its not somewhere id go back to again and again.

Peter Rabbit Woods - Limpsfield Common

Peter Rabbit Woods Ridlands Lane Limpsfield Chart RH8 0SY Just after the lock down restrictions eased up a bit, we were looking for somewhere quiet and new to explore.  I came across Peter Rabbits Woods online and myself and a friend decided to meet there to see what it was like.  What a great little find!! There is free parking at Ridlands lane however it is a tiny car park and we went before the summer holidays on a drizzly day, so it might be worth checking other places to park in case it is full, thankfully we were lucky! Although it isn't somewhere you would spend a whole day so there are people coming and going. So wellies on, we set off to explore and along the way down the woodland trails we came across little homes of the characters from Peter Rabbit.  At Peters post office you could post a letter, we weren't really prepared but my friend had an envelope so we posted it full of leaves that Oliver collected.  Then a few days later my friend sent Oliver a letter saying t

Diggerland - Kent

 Diggerland Medway Valley Leisure Park Roman Way Strood Kent  ME2 2NU Our first visit to Diggerland this week and it was pretty exciting!  You need to pre-book tickets but there is no time slot so you can arrive any time after 10am.  We got there about 10.45am and had no problems parking near the entrance, however there was a 20 minute queue to get in.  Tickets cost £19.95 each (kids aswell although under 90cm tall is free) but it is a theme park so expect it to be a little pricey.  The only extras were the dodgems which you had to purchase tokens for £1 a ride and there were a few coin operated diggers and cars which were also £1.  The indoor play areas are still closed due to Covid. Baring in mind it is summer holidays the queues weren't terrible, when there were several of the same machines it was obviously quicker.  They also had to clean everything down after every go which took some time.  The biggest diggers I think there were only 4, the queue took too long and we abandoned

Bocketts Farm Park - Leatherhead

 Bocketts Farm Park Young Street Fetcham Leatherhead KT22 9BS We went to Bocketts farm in January for the second time.  The first time I was mostly carrying Oliver in a sling so he was only about 1 and wasn't quite old enough to explore all that was on offer.  This time he was big enough and brave enough to do it all! This post is about a visit pre Covid so I can't comment on it more recently but according to the website its pretty much all open again now with distancing rules.   When we went in Jan I had forgotten how much is there! It's in Leatherhead, under half hours drive from Coulsdon and a nice drive through country lanes if you go through Headley and avoid the motorway.  As you walk in to get your ticket there is a huge ride on section with various mini tractors, cars and bikes.  Then a bunch of trampolines and a tractor you can sit in and pretend to drive.  All hits with Oliver and his friend straight away.  There is a little cafe in there and toilets.  I didn'
