Down on the Farm

If you’ve got a toddler and you’re anywhere near Malmesbury, this place is worth the trip. The indoor play barn means you’re not at the mercy of whatever grim weather the Cotswold fringe decides to throw at you, and the sandpit keeps little ones genuinely occupied for a good stretch. There are farm animals to visit, which honestly goes down better with the under-fives than most things you’d pay twice the price for. Grab a coffee from the cafe — it’s decent — and settle in at one of the picnic tables while the kids do their thing.
