]]>Opened in 1828, over the decades London Zoo has grown from a collection of animals intended to be used for scientific study, to an amazing array of rare and wonderful species which the zoo is working hard to conserve. You can enjoy seeing tigers, lions, giraffes and more, as you explore the beautiful grounds of this city zoo.
Home to over 27000 species, Chester Zoo occupies a huge site and it’s definitely worth dedicating a whole day to exploring. The zoo has recently acquired some super rare snow leopards, but you can also expect to see an array of reptiles, primates and other big cats.
Located just a few miles from the coast, Paignton Zoo boasts animal species including a salt water crocodile, rare black rhinos and lowland gorillas. The site will generally take a day to explore, but if you’re visiting in the summer then it’s definitely worth heading down to the beach to catch the sunset at the end of your day.

]]>Buxton is one of the largest towns within the Peak District. It has an annual opera and theatre festival and is also home to the Buxton Spa which greatly increased the town’s fame and popularity during the Victorian era. You can still taste the spring waters today, they are meant to have health-giving properties. The town is worth exploring for its range of independent shops and cafes, it also makes a good base if you’re planning to stay and explore the Peak District.
This isolated town has a fascinating, if morbid, history. In 1665 there was an outbreak of the Bubonic Plague in Eyam. The town responded by quarantining itself from the outside world, to reduce the risk of the plague spreading to other communities. There are many memorial plaques around the town to those who died in that outbreak, and the historical architecture is also worth seeing, too.
This charming town has a reputation for its delicious Bakewell tarts and puddings, but you will also find pretty streets crammed full of independent shops and cafes, plus a charming riverside walk if you fancy a stroll. Bakewell is also a great place to stay if you would like a base from which to explore the rest of the Peak District.
