And while you could hop on a train and head to London for a day out, Bedfordshire has no shortage of attractions a little closer to home.

1. Woburn Safari Park
Enjoy some close-up animal encounters at this award-winning safari park. The park has just welcomed a rare baby camel and boasts a newly opened Giraffe Meadow. There's also a chance to experience a VIP tour, and for little rangers to drive their own fun-sized keeper car. Special guests will include Peppa Pig and Baby Shark. Photo: Woburn Safari Park
