Get up close and personal with the cutest animals at a national award-winning farm attraction, Park Hall Countryside Experience, it’s great day out with toddlers. Add in The Welsh Guards Museum and the chance to experience world war trenches and all the family will be entertained.
The British Ironworks is all heavy metal and is a more alternative animal attraction! Go on a wild safari through a jungle of metal animals. Watch out for the famous spoon gorilla.
There’s lots happening at Oswestry Leisure Centre, great for a rainy or sunny in Oswestry. 
Want a peek into history? There are lots of living history events throughout The Borderlands each summer. Visit Whittington or Chirk Castles or maybe rediscover the joy of the heritage railways at the Cambrian Railway Museum, Welshpool and Llanfair Railway or Llangollen Railway.
At Llangollen, why not book a trip on the horse drawn canal barges? Then you could hire bikes and cycle round Ellesmere or Lake Vyrnwy.
