Amazing labyrinth of connected follies and underground passages dreamed up by a retired diplomat who owns the local moorland estate. It's just frightening enough for older pre-teens and the little ones will be OK if you hold their hand tightly. Teenagers will be thrilled with the weird break from wholesome walking, checking out ruined abbeys etc. The surrounding countryside is stunning.
Yorskshire dales, not too far from Ripon.

Brilliant for kids and it'll be even better in two weeks' time when the new 'Experience TV' opens. Old favourites like the chance to read the news in a simulated studio or travel on a flying carpet while watching yourself on TV are back - but the carpet's a hoverboard and the sets include Walking With Dinosuars.
Round the day off with a curry.
