For families, Playworld is a perfect indoor and outdoor play centre, ideal for younger children. It’s a great spot for rainy days or birthday parties, offering plenty of activities for different age groups. Its themed play areas let kids explore the wonders of the world, from battling dinosaurs and aliens to playing football at Wembley.

Even toddlers can have their own undersea adventure, while babies can enjoy a sensory area inspired by New York’s Central Park. Parents can relax on comfy sofas while refuelling at the café, making it a perfect family day out.

Another top spot for families is Funsters Play Centre, known for its massive 6-storey playframe, one of the tallest in Europe. Kids aged four and up can explore slides, tunnels, and spinners, while younger children have a gated, padded play area designed with bespoke equipment. Meanwhile, adults can relax in the café area, enjoying fresh food and drinks as they watch their little ones play.

Outdoor lovers will enjoy the Wheelock Rail Trail, a scenic path rich with wildlife and wildflowers.

In early spring, you can spot frog spawn and watercress, while later in the year, red campion and foxglove bloom along the banks. The trail is also a haven for birdwatchers, with thrushes, redwing, and fieldfare feasting on berries in autumn.

You can also visit The Salt Line and Borrow Pit Meadows for another peaceful retreat into nature. This beautiful nature reserve offers a beautiful mix of meadows, woodlands, and wetlands perfect for walking, cycling, or birdwatching.

Golf enthusiasts can head to Crewe Golf Club, a well-maintained course that welcomes players of all levels. Before teeing off, visitors can take advantage of the club's driving range and practice facilities.

After a round, the clubhouse or patio overlooking the 18th hole is the perfect place to relax with a drink and some great food.
