“Congratulations to all the winners of the 2021 Travellers’ Choice Awards. I know the past year has been extremely challenging for tourism businesses. What has impressed me is how businesses adapted to these challenges, implementing new cleanliness measures, adding social distancing guidelines, and utilizing technology to prioritize guest safety.

Based on a full year of reviews from customers, this award speaks to the great service and experience provided to guests in the midst of a pandemic.”
Recent Tripadvisor reviews include Lousie’s comment about the Burton Dassett Hills as a “brilliant place to spend some quality family time outdoors. Very windy but kids loved the woods and rolling down hills just as much at 10 and 14 as they did when very little!” Archie said Kingsbury Water Park is a “lovely place with loads of places to walk, and good play areas for the kids. Miniature steam train ride was excellent as well”, and Sally comments that Hartshill Hayes is “wonderful for walks in spring when the bluebells are in blossom. Fantastic dog walking location for families.”
