Fun Things to do in Herefordshire as a family

When it comes to the summer holidays keeping the kids entertained constantly can be difficult.

With the weather constantly causing disruptions, and with some huge events, such as the recent Big Jam Sandwich event in Southend causing uproar, it can be difficult to decide what to do.

But, one place that’s great for the little ones, is Hertfordshire. With lots of fun things to do and with easy access thanks to public transport from Brighton, Horsham and Hitchin to Stevenage trains, this is the perfect place to spend a day or two during the long six weeks.

Below, you’ll find five of the most exciting things to do here with your little ones.
