  1. Loads of brilliant ideas in here! I’ve always thought the Famous Blacksmiths Shop in Gretna Green, Scotland, makes a nice family day trip. It’s just off the M6 & M74 and they have a tourist attraction and hotels. Definitely worth a visit with the little ones or for a couple’s night away once things are a little more normal again! 🙂
