  1. Fantastic suggestions, I haven’t been to Drayton manor or West Midlands safari Parks for years but really want to take our children, we won’t be going on holiday next year as we have just moved and need to decorate and carpet throughout, so we will be planning a few day trips instead, we haven’t been to Warwick castle either xxx
