In amongst all of the rain that we’ve been having lately, we had a dry day forecast on Sunday so we decided to take advantage of our National Trust membership and get out and about.
We went to Croome Park, in Worcestershire. A huge estate to ramble around…
And as it was windy, Boo loved being blown away!
And to make the walk more exciting, racing Daddy is always fun..
There was a little church to visit..
and a stunning house to explore…
All rounded off with lunch in the cafe, to the kids’ delight – they love eating out!
We were only there for 2-3 hours, and only managed to get round half of it, so we will definitely be back. We can imagine spending many more hours there on a warmer day, taking a picnic, playing on the land, roaming all of the pathways and outbuildings – another Reading adventure just waiting to happen 🙂
The Reading Residence
Isn’t Croome just fantastic? They have cycling routes and you can canoe down the river on certain dates in the year too-we’re hoping to investigate those this year. I’m do glad you enjoyed it 🙂
We loved it there, and yes, so much more to do and see! We will be back…!
Aww looks like you had a lovely place and definitely one to go back to xx #countrykids
Definitely, it was lovely 🙂
The freedom of feeling the wind in your hair and the enormous sense of space to just be….love the National Trust properties! x #CountryKids
Exactly that – wonderful places 🙂
Oh wow it sounds like you had a great time there. Looks beautiful too, amazing photographs 🙂
It was lovely there, and thanks so much x
I’ve never heard of it before, but it looks like a really beautiful place! I’m sure it would be lovely in the summer to take a picnic etc 😀 x
Oh yes, we’ll be loading our picnic up and zooming off there at the first signs of summer!
I would imagine you’re right about it being a great place for a picnic when it’s warmer. #CountryKids
Yes, we’re looking forward to that 🙂
Croome Park looks like an ideal place for a family outing. Beautiful photos of a gorgeous place to visit.

What a bright day for a visit to such a beautiful place with so much to explore. I can see from the photos that you all had a great time. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.

That looks really beautiful. Some great photos too, I particularly like the one of Boo being blown away 🙂

Looks like a great place to visit, what a treat to eat out too. Our kids love this too, we don’t do it as often as we should! #countrykids
It is lovely there. And eating out is always a bonus!
I’d never heard of Croombe Park despite being brought up in Gloucestershire – looks like a great place to visit. No National Trust here in France but we do have lots of local châteaux as I blogged about recently. Can I add a link? http://www.eco-gites.blogspot.fr/2014/01/normandy-chateaux.html
It’s so beautiful there, and thanks for sharing yours x
That looks beautiful there and ideal for a lovely day out 🙂

It’s beautiful there – I’m sure you’ll love it 🙂 Thanks for hosting x
Looks like a brilliant place to visit, I love exploring buildings like that.
It’s really lovely there. Me, too, though the kids fly round at the speed of light!
