Tatton Park
A thousand acres of deer park with a playground, plus a mansion, 50 acres of gardens and a rare-breeds farm bolted on. The trick is knowing the car fee covers the parkland and playground, and everything else is a separate ticket.
Gauntlet Birds of Prey
Knutsford, Cheshire
Eagles, owls and vultures flown close enough to feel wingbeat, at a small sanctuary that prioritises the birds over the retail. Displays run through the day.
Check flying times before travelling - they are the visit. Small, sincere and better than bigger operations at half the sincerity.
