The children may only just have gone back to school, but October half term is just around the corner and Sambrook Manor cottages offers you the perfect base for an unforgettable holiday.

Here are some ideas for some great days out to keep the children entertained.

Alderford Lake

Hire a paddleboard, kayak or canoe, splash around on the huge Aqua Park, escape from the island, wild swim or just enjoy a stroll around the lake and a visit

to the onsite restaurant.  Special Halloween activities including fright nights and witchcraft woods.

Severn Valley Railway

Jump aboard an award-winning heritage railway and enjoy a steam train ride in the beautiful countryside.  At the mid-point is the engine house visitor centre where children can run free in the outdoor paly area or get hands on sorting the mail in the traveling post office.

Telford Town Park

Lots for all ages to do at Telford Town Park including a whole range of play equipment, High ropes climb course, Toddler play & sand area, two water splash zones so don’t forget the spare change of clothes, mini & disc golf, gardens & walking trails.  Next to the town park is a large shopping centre with cinema, bowling & ice skating.
