Historic places

Anne Boleyn's childhood home. Twenty minutes away by car We like the gardens. The kids like the adventure playground and water maze and hedge maze. They have a wonderful open air theatre in the Italian garden in the summer evenings and you can picnic by the lake before hand. A wonderful day out.
