Bowland Wild Boar Park
Wild boar, deer and llamas in a Forest of Bowland valley, with animal feeding, a barrel train and river walks. Small, unslick and all the better for it.
Clitheroe Castle
Clitheroe & Ribble Valley, Lancashire
One of England's smallest Norman keeps stands on its rock above the town, with a labyrinth, sculpture trail and a brisk, well-done museum in the grounds. The view alone explains eight hundred years of border history.
Grounds are free; the museum charges modestly. Add the town's famous sausage shops for lunch and Bowland Wild Boar Park up the valley for the afternoon.

Brungerley Park & Sculpture Trail
Woodland, riverbank and an old quarry scattered with more than 20 sculptures, a mile from Clitheroe town centre. Turns an ordinary walk into a treasure hunt, and it costs nothing.
