Are those in charge desperately looking for something new to entertain the small people?
Well here are a few ideas:-
The British Ironworks Centre at Aston, between West Felton and Oswestry.
Lots to look at, plenty of room to charge around and grass for a picnic.
But be careful if you take them into the showroom - just too much to touch and meddle with!
Whittington Castle - I expect everyone has been there but I find it never palls, just £1 for the car park which goes to keeping this unique community run castle going, lots of space to run around, and a super cafe (which is not open on a Monday) but lots of grass for a picnic.
Ellesmere Canal & Marina If you approach Ellesmere from Whittington, head for the `superstore` You can park at Tescos and walk to the canal and see dozens of interesting canal boats parked and driving past. There are plenty of picnic tables, which for a picnic which you can share with the
sparrows.
The Quarry Park in Shrewsbury is always great for a run around and there is a good playground.
A Trip round the The Loop from the Welsh Bridge is something different. Get a Shrewsbury brochure map and you can all follow the route`to the English Bridge - first lesson in map reading. The whole trip takes about 40 minutes. Time for lunch?
Sophie`s Pancake Bar in the Market will go down a storm - everyone loves pancakes and you can buy a (very strong) Belgiun Beer to take home!
