With the summer holidays here, entertaining young ones for six weeks can be a challenge but this family attraction may offer one of the nation's best day trips.

The lifestyle magazine Muddy Stilettos has been ranking its picks for the UK's best family attractions with one Peterborough spot making the list.

The article said of Ferry Meadows: "Want to get kids off screens and into the fresh air? There’s nowhere quite like Ferry Meadows for wholesome fun – over 658 acres of gorgeous country park with walking routes, cycling trails and water-based activities galore.

"It’s not just open space though, there’s a visitor centre and two cafés, play areas, Nene Outdoors Watersports and Activity Centre (where you can hire swan or dragon pedalos, kayaks and paddleboards, and sign up for courses and clubs), as well as an adventure railway and a camp site.

"New for summer 2024 there’s an outdoor theatre and cinema event, Summer Nights, with plenty of family-friendly options."
