Lotherton Hall โ€“ Aberford

Lotherton is a very popular place attracting over 3/4 of a million visitors each year
(Wildlife World, House and Chapel, Grounds and Gardens, Outdoor Play, Indoor Play)

Itโ€™s great! They have lots of play areas that your 2yr old would love and baby swings for your 10month old. Lovely to walk around for your dog. Theyโ€™ve got a bird garden which is lovely to walk around but no dogs are allowed in there just so youโ€™re aware. They house is lovely too but you canโ€™t take a pram around it

RG, Jan 17

Lotherton is great! Iโ€™ve got an annual pass and use it as least once a week!
