Explore Longleat
By Tim SaundersA cheetah travels from nought to sixty in three seconds and has a top speed of 70mph. This sounds like one of my motoring reviews but it’s a fascinating fact learnt while on the drive through safari at Longleat.As we travel around this 8,000 acres Wiltshire estate we see other big cats including lions and tigers. Driving our own vehicle we listen to a CD that tells us all about each animal. It takes about two hours to complete the safari and aside from the heat it can’t be all that different to doing it in Africa.After the safari we park up and it’s time for our packed lunch after which we make our way round the rest of the park. The rain has, by now, set in for the afternoon but there are plenty of under cover attractions. One of the highlights of the afternoon for me...

Day Out: Exbury Gardens
Spending time with family is the way I enjoy marking a significant birthday. And for this milestone occasion we make our way to Exbury Gardens deep in the New Forest.It has been persistently raining for the past week and it really is risky deciding to spend an entire day out with such questionable weather. The sky continues to be grey and threatening but we are blessed with absolutely no rain whatsoever during our trip.Exbury boasts 200-acres of informal woodland gardens and it allows my wife Caroline and I to sort of relax while the children roam. But you can never truly relax. They seem incapable of sticking to the paths and much prefers stamping in puddles off the beaten track which results in Henry, 2-years-old, quickly shouting: “Help!” He is in water that is almost covering his...
