Sorry if you think I should have posted this elsewhere.
Last weekend we as a family went to 'roots' and had a fantastic informative time
Not only did our kids learn loads ( they're only 3 & 6) but so did we.

We also enjoy walks
As the summer approaches we like to venture further
Any suggestions of similar in your area would be appreciated
Cheers dudes
coolcat. Ooo that looks good. sort of thing i would like. have you been to Kentwell Hall its in suffolk. based on the tudor period and they have lots of " dressing up " days. haven't been there myself but heard its really good. then theres Audley End which i think is near cambridge. its a house with lovely gardens and is owned by the english heritage. we've been many times and they certainly used to have "battle enactment" weekends which were great fun to watch. medot.x
Thanx medot
if you fancy a weekend away two really good open air museums are "blist hill" ( near Ironbridge) and "the black country living museum" in Dudley. i could not fault either of these places. your children may be too young at present to appreciate the places but we as adults loved them. at the black country museum we went on a special weekend. there are lots of houses here that have actually been knocked down then rebuilt here.
you have houses from the 19th century up to the 2nd world war. each house is kitted out as a house of that time. when we went people were living in them for the weekend. there was a victorian school where we went and actually had a lesson. brilliant is all i can say. shame its not nearer. medot.x
