Ruins for clambering over, separate play areas for older and younger children and a large open space with seating for picnics, ensure that the whole family can relax here.
The Abbey Gardens, adjacent to the cathedral, offer a mass of horticultural colour, the occasional extraordinary sculpture and a small aviary. Walk through the magnificent Norman tower and under the portcullis and transform yourself into a knight from days gone by.
A sensory garden with lavenders and scented beds will calm the children down, and the ice cream shop is a treat during summer months.
Whilst the children are enjoying themselves, dad can visit The Nutshell, according to the Guinness Book of Records the smallest pub in Britain, or mum can go shopping in Anna’s - depending upon whose turn it is for some free time, of course…
There’s a pay-and-display car park opposite but it can get busy and the fines are substantial. Entry to the gardens is free.
