There are some great Houses in England, from Blenheim Palace to Hatfield house to the mighty Chatsworth House and inside they have got some real gems that we can all spend a day (or two!) just walking around and being wowed. Here’s a little video of some of those little treasures, and no Allen key in sight!
Lavenham - Suffolk
Lavenham is one of Suffolks most important wool towns and you really can’t beat a day (or weekend!) strolling around the roads surrounded by stunning medieval houses and cottages. It’s got a great hotel, The Swan, and a fabulous spa at the Weavers House spa, so after a day enjoying the sites its a great place to unwind.
Join Sophie as she explores all the nooks and crannies of the Harry Potter world. There are so many sets and scenes to enjoy and Sophie experiences the access facilities. There are some areas that are tricky with a wheelchair including Diagon Alleys cobbled streets etc but there are guides all around to help you get the most out of the day, now where’s my wand??
