Spotlight on…

Burton Dassett Hills and Brandon Marsh

By Rhian from Warwickshire Kids

As we bid farewell to the old year, there is definitely a feeling of ‘out with the old and in with the new’. Are the same old places feeling a bit too familiar? Would you like fresh ideas to put a spring in your step for days out with the kids in 2023? 

The unspoilt rolling hills of Burton Dassett Hills in Southam offer children an open space to explore and run free. With impressive views from the top, it’s a great place to take a picnic and enjoy a family walk. Parking is £2.50 for the whole day. 

Little nature lovers will enjoy a trip to Brandon Marsh to discover pools, reed-beds, grassland and woodland brimming with creatures and places to get muddy, but don’t worry, you can warm up in the cafe with a hot chocolate afterwards. Adult entry is £3.75, children £2, and under 4s go free.
