Other Attractions in general

I dont know how familiar you all are with Northern Ireland but there are 2 main seaside towns,one is Portrush,up the antrim coast and the other is Newcastle which is not to far from Southern Ireland. Anyway as i am now getting fed up being at home and cant wait to get back to work,i know next year i am going abroad!!

Whitehouse Farm Centre is situated on the outskirts of Morpeth, Northumberland and is a great family day out. Of course there are a variety of animals here and they become very friendly when you approach with your bag of food.

When we arrived in Sherborne, we were told by a resident, that "if you live here, nothing much happens, and as long as you realise that, its great". That said, not a lot actually happens, but there is plenty for a day tripping visitor to see.

The town has a small square where one of the pubs provides outdoor seating and is lovely place to sit on sunny summer afternoons. Go to Sherborne for the day and ...  Read the complete review
