Welly Boot Land

If you’ve got kids anywhere between toddler age and about 12, this Gloucester spot is worth knowing about. The water feature gets absolutely mobbed on hot days — in the best way — and the slides keep the older ones busy while the little ones splash around. It’s fully enclosed, which makes a real difference when you’ve got a runner on your hands, and the shade trees and covered seating mean you’re not just standing in the sun praying for a breeze. Bring a picnic, grab one of the tables, and honestly you could park yourself here for most of the afternoon. There’s open grass too if anyone needs to burn off what’s left after all of that.
