PLAY AREAS
Who doesn’t love a good playground? A chance for the little ones to blow off some steam and a chance for the big ones to sit on a bench for five minutes of peace…
There are many playgrounds around, some are well known and well used but some are stashed away like hidden gems.
I’ve been visiting as many as I can and each time I do, I’ll post a little review, take a few photos and add it to the map. Soon, hopefully, we’ll have a full map of play areas all across the Island. Some are free, some may require payment of some sort.
If you know of one that isn’t on here then please get in touch and we’ll get it on the map!
Also within this section, there are some playgrounds in the Rutland/Northamptonshire area in the UK from when we used to live there.
