Happy Friday everybody, and welcome to 2019!
We hope everyone had a wonderful festive period and a happy new year. Now that the kids are back to school and the big kids are back to work, we thought it would be a good idea to let you know about a few family days out to liven up your January without breaking the bank.
Fineshade Wood
At just a 20-minute drive from Oakley Vale, Fineshade Wood is a guaranteed great day out for the family. With play areas, walking and cycling trails, including the brand-new Highway Rat Activity Trail, a picnic area and a café, there is something for everyone.
Entry to Fineshade Wood is free although parking charges do apply.
East Carlton Country Park
Situated on the edge of Welland Valley, the East Carlton Countryside Park offers a beautiful location to walk, explore and learn about the history of Corby in the Heritage Centre. Dogs are welcome and parking is free!
East Carlton Countryside Park has a range of play areas, a picnic area and a café too – a hot chocolate might be needed after a winter walk.
