A National Trust property that's open for visitors from late March to late October, Wray Castle is a stunning Victorian house built in 1840. A bit of a strange sight with its turrets and architectural features, word has it that the house was built for a married couple using the wife's inheritance fund – only problem was that when she saw it she refused to live in it!

In 1882, the parents of Beatrix Potter decided to rent Wray Castle as a summer getaway from London and the family kept returning. Beatrix Potter's favourite room was allegedly the library.

It's not your typically National Trust property with gowns and dust-covers – it's far more hands-on and worth a day trip!

The gardens are pretty special too, with a ton of exotic trees and also a mulberry tree planted by William Wordsmith in 1845.

Brilliant riding for kids either on quiet Lanes or on bike friendly gravel trails through the woods and down to the bike boat jetty
