Hi,

Thinking of staying at christChurch site this weekend, does anybody know any decent Child friendly pubs in the area, they could recommend. Also are there may attractions for kids nearby?- Cheers.

hello......have a look at the FODDC website for loads of ideas for things to do in the area (mine,who are 12, 10 & 3,  love the Mohair Centre in Longhope - it has an indoor play barn plus lots of outdoor play areas, go karts, sand pit and animals to see etc with picnic areas and walks), for a great 'free' attraction you can walk around Cannop Ponds and feed the ducks, take a picnic they have benches and a little ice cream kiosk, there is also a stream to paddle and loads of space for kids  to let off steam(we often go after sunday lunch!!) -a good cycle track runs from here as well if you have bikes.  As for pubs.....hmmm... The Gamekeeper in Berryhill which is near Christchurch has a playground and a bouncy castle in good weather and is supposed to be nice - The Miners in Sling does good grub and has a small playground as does The Orepool Inn......not sure what you and your kids are 'into' or their ages(let me know and I'll try to be more specific!!)
