This National Trust site has a manor house, with attached farm and gardens which can all be visited. The farm is especially popular with kids - petting areas, a playground with toy tractors, feeding time (hear the pigs oink and squeal as the food approaches) and all the usual farm animals are there - horses, cows, sheep, pigs, poultry, goats, with a few guinea pigs and rabbits thrown in. There are cafes and a restaurant too.

Live the City was great fun. My family and I bought a "pack" and followed the well thought out route around the city. As the day flew by we took in all the sights of Cambridge and solved clues along the way which kept the children ammused. At the end of the day we took part in a big screen multiple choice quiz. This was great fun. I think there should be a Live the City in every city.
