Shugborough Estate – A Huge National Trust Day Out in Staffordshire

It had been around 40 years since I last visited Shugborough Estate. My rather vague memory of that visit involves a teddy bears' picnic, and I certainly don't remember appreciating just how enormous the place was. I do now!

🐒 Our Day at Trentham Monkey Forest: Baby Monkeys, Steep Hills & Ticket Blunders!

We had a long-overdue trip back to Trentham Monkey Forest. It was a day filled with adorable baby monkeys, plenty of family banter, and a very valuable lesson in pre-booking!
