Sunnyside Adventure

The name alone suggests fun, and Sunnyside Adventure doesn't disappoint if you're after something active and a bit different. Based near Nuneaton in Leicestershire, this is the sort of place that gets families and groups moving rather than standing about taking photos.

It's an adventure attraction - the exact setup depends on what's on offer when you visit, but these venues typically include outdoor activities, obstacle courses, or similar pursuits designed to get the adrenaline going. You're looking at a place where kids can burn off energy and adults might remember what proper exercise feels like. The kind of spot where you'll want trainers rather than Sunday shoes.

How long you'll spend here depends entirely on what tickles you. Some folk come for a quick couple of hours; others make an afternoon of it. Check ahead though - opening hours and admission prices aren't straightforward to pin down online, so ring first rather than driving out and finding gates locked.

It slots nicely into a Leicestershire caravan holiday. The Dandelion Hideaway and Fire & Stars are both within easy reach if you're glamping, while Charnwood Acres and Bosworth Caravan Park offer more traditional pitches. None of these parks are particularly close, but that's the nature of this part of the Midlands - you're not tripping over each other. Pair it with a woodland walk or a visit to somewhere quieter when you need a break from the structured activity. Genuinely worth a morning or afternoon if you've got restless kids in tow.
