I would take them to Ottawa to meet all the family they have never met.

I'd take them to Disneyland Paris - they would love this (they'd hate the long flights to the US).

If money was no object - they it would be business class to New Zealand, the scenery is amazing, and as they are Lord of the Rings fanatics they would love this country.

Scotland. Fabulous for kids.

If I had grandchildren we would spend a lot of time on the farm riding on the tractors and looking after the cows well away from computer games and social media but I would also like to take them to Australia Zoo as we all loved Steve Irwin.

I would take them to my spiritual home of North West Wales where Snowdonia sweeps down to the Llyn Penisular. Where dragons hide around every corner & Merlin is waiting to awake Arthur. Porthmadoc and Criccieth with their wonderful charms and adventures and end up sitting on the banks of the Afon Dwyfor, listening to the voices of the Druids being carried in the sound of the river

I would take them to the village in Wales where my late father was born and grew up. I would like them to walk in his footsteps and meet their relatives.

I would like to take them to The Galápagos Islands to show them how good nature can be. To appreciate wildlife in its natural habitat and show how animals have adapted over the years to survive and live without threat or fear.

I would take them to Australia to see my long last brother and to see some amazing sites like the Coral Reef

To Formby - to see the red squirrels and play on the huge sand dunes. My grandparents lived there when I was young, and in later years I took my children there. Happy memories

i would love to take my grandchildren to Lapland for Christmas to see the magic in their eyes when they see Santa while they are still young enough to believe in magic everywhere

natab123 Sun 20-Oct-19 22:25:27

I would take them to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to do the North Coast 500.

florida,so many theme parks to see and do

sallyc06 Mon 21-Oct-19 13:25:57

I have 9 grandchildren and they all love Christmas so it would have to be Lapland to see Santa. To see their little faces light up and the magic in their eyes would be priceless. Then we could stay in a log cabin in the snow and all tuck up in our PJ's together and drink hot chocolate and sing carols around the Christmas tree. A dream made in heaven.

I would take my 2 grandsons to America where I was born to meet their cousins and explore part of their heritage.

I would take my grandchildren to Wales to go on the zip wires, up Snowdonia, and the slate mines.
