The West Somerset Railway recaptures the era of the branch line country railway in the days of steam. Enjoy 20 miles of glorious Somerset scenery as the train gently rolls back the years on its journey beside the Quantock Hills to the Bristol Channel coast.
West Somerset Railway...>>A day out at Butlins is fantastic day for every generation, with an amazing range of activities on offer. Enjoy the fun of the wet 'n' wild sub-tropical Splash Waterworld, burn off that extra energy on the multi-sports court, or challenge the kids to a race round the Go-Kart track.
An interactive owl and bird of prey centre where you can enjoy close encounters with the birds and the other animals at the centre. With two different displays in the day, you can fill your day with a wander around the grounds and owl garden or sample food from the local menu.
Tropiquaria Animal and Adventure Park is a great day out for adults and children of all ages. Hold a snake or lizard in the Tropical Hall, visit the amazing puppet show and the aquarium. Outside play for hours on the full-size pirate ships or in the Indoor Play Castle and don't forget the animals all around the grounds. Hours of fun, rain or shine!
