I would take my little granddaughter to Chester Zoo, just a train ride away from where she lives, where she can see lots of animals that live elsewhere in the world and learn about them. No plane or long journey involved.

I would take them anywhere warm with sea as my 8 year old grandson loves going in the sea

I would take them to Disney land so they can see the magic and have lots of fun

It would have to be Disney World in Florida, to see their faces light up would make for such a magical memory.

Jenmac359 Tue 15-Oct-19 14:56:04

I've already done so. I took my granddaughter to Japan for 10 days. We had a wonderful time.

I would take them to a large caravan in Anglesey and let them run free ( well freeish !)

I would take her to the Isle of Man where I was born. I would sail from Liverpool to let her see the landmark sights such as the Liver building (I grew up here) then let her enjoy the fabulous coast line of the Isle of Man. She would love the castle and beaches in Peel.

I would take my grand daughter to Fairy Dell in Teesdale, at least four times a year.

Spring to see the beauty of the snowdrops, the new buds on the hundreds of trees, of snow on the surrounding hills and the busy, babbling brook running throughout.

Summer to picnic by the brook then search and identify from our reference book anything that lives beneath the mossy stones.

Autumn to pick hazel nuts, sloes, brambles, conkers and to see the beauty of the autumnal colours of the trees.

Winter to see the sparkly wonderland of snow, ice and partly frozen brook, with squirrels scampering about, stoats, rabbits and other animals living in the bleak winter up there.

Of course, during these four trips we will be on the lookout for any fairies said to be living in the Dell.

No aeroplanes involved. An half hour car journey. It has to be a car journey as there is no public transport to where we would go, it is well off the beaten track. (I cannot ride a bike, if I could, I would.)

I would take my granddaughter to Gabon, where I lived as a child, to see elephants and hippos enjoying themselves on the beach and frollicking in the surf.

Vivian123 Tue 15-Oct-19 20:25:16

I would take them to Stonehenge so that they can see that there is something older than their Grandad! Ok. and Grandma.

MrsNotgotalot Tue 15-Oct-19 20:37:50

I would take them to see the Trooping Of The Colour on the Queen's birthday. Nobody does ceremony like we do.

Sarandy Tue 15-Oct-19 20:39:15

A road trip around the UK visiting friends, family and the many beauty spots and sights along the way. We must appreciate and value the country we live in if we are to preserve it for future generations and what better way than through live experiences.

colonycrt Wed 16-Oct-19 09:34:43

suecook Wed 16-Oct-19 10:02:57

To the Pembrokeshire coast where they could see dolphins and seals in the natural habitat and where the scenery is so stunning and magical and the air so fresh and sweet, a real joy for everyone but especially children.

I would love to take my beautiful grandchildren to St.Vincent, a small Caribbean island that their great grandad came from before he joined the British Army. Thank you
