Family Fun and Nature at Attingham Park

Attingham Park
Attingham Park is located in Shropshire, near Shrewsbury, and it’s a great spot for a family day out. It’s easy to reach from nearby cities like Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Chester, and Stoke-on-Trent—just a little over an hour’s drive away. For families living in Leicester, Loughborough, or Nottingham, it’s about 1 to 2 hours by car. While it’s a nice drive for a day trip, some families may find the 2-hour drive a bit long, so it depends on your preferences.

One of the highlights of our visit was the play area at Attingham Park. It’s a great space for kids, with tall hay bales to climb on, cement pipe tunnels to crawl through, sand pits, and logs in the woods to climb. There’s also a swing set and a sensory play area for younger children. The best part? The play area is located close to a café and toilets, which makes it very family-friendly.

However, it’s important to note that the play area might change depending on the season, as we visited when there were hay bales for climbing, but that may not always be the case. They’re also currently working on some renovations, so new features might be added soon. We’re excited to see what’s coming next!

If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on Wroxeter Roman City, just a short drive away. 🏛️ It may be small, but it has that Pompeii vibe, with its ancient ruins you can walk through. It’s a great spot to let the kids explore and have fun! They’ll love running through the stone ruins, climbing the slopes, and getting their energy out in this fascinating historical site. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and history—an ideal stop for a family day out! 🌿💙

If you’re planning a visit, note that Attingham Park is a National Trust site, and Wroxeter Roman City, not far away, is an English Heritage site. If you’re not a member of either, there will be an entrance fee for both places.
