The lochs and mountains of Scotland are always a great sight - especially as I come from the flat part of england!

I’d take them to Costa Rica to experience the wildlife they have there and how they preserve nature so well, get them young into conservation, so the future for them will be good

I would take them to Disneyworld Florida. This would be a such a magical and enchanted experience for them. It would be amazing to meet Disney stories characters. This trip would stay in children memories forever and lovely photos would stay as the proof.

I would do a tour round the UK visiting all the fabulous countryside and seaside I saw as a child eg Cornwall and Devon and the fabulous beaches, forest of bowland, Scottish highlands and lochs, beautiful lakes and hills in the lake district, historic towns and cities like York, Canterbury, Oxford and Norwich, the hills and valleys and beaches in Pembrokeshire, and the beautiful countryside in between so that they get to appreciate and love the place they were born in.

I would take my gran children to London Town, the Southbank, The Tate Modern to the wonderful museums, then a spot of lunch at The Oxo Tower.

I would take them into my kitchen and we would all sit around my big little used family dining table and chat and get to know each other. I've never got to do this sadly.

Paris to see a beautiful cultured city

Disney World Florida - where else!!

HistoryGirl Tue 08-Oct-19 10:41:22

I'd take them to where I took my own children at the same age - Walt Disney World in Florida.

Melcollins Tue 08-Oct-19 10:37:04

I'd take them to see the Northern Lights in Iceland - it's such an enchanted experience

I would take both the boys to legoland it's a very long journey but they would love it

I would love to take my 3 year old grand daughter to Fuerteventura. It's short haul and has lovely sandy beaches and is safe. There is also a fantastic animal park called Oasis where you can feed giraffes and zebras, ride camels and see birds of prey and a fantastic cactus garden.

I would take the little ones to a wonderful British beach where they could play all day. It would have caves, sand, large pebbles, shells.etc. The weather would be good and the sea safe....bliss.

I would take the older ones back to Jamaica to see where their father was born and walk up Dunns River Falls. ( may send them up and just watch now )

A cruise would be lovely with all the family. I’ve been on 2 but would have enjoyed it more with everyone there.

Undercoverdogg Tue 08-Oct-19 06:57:32

I would take them to Cornwall to see their family

I would take my grandchildren to the Dark Sky areas of Northumberland where we could visit the kielder Observatory . We would wrap up warm and on clear nights I would teach them the names of constellations and planets . Hopefully I would be able let them experience the awe and wonder it is possible to feel when looking up at the Milky Way that dazzles above our heads each night .

jtl1131 Tue 08-Oct-19 01:23:34

I would take them to Disneyworld Florida

I'd love to take them to see the Northern Lights. It would depend on the time of year as to where the best place would be...

jeanio Mon 07-Oct-19 23:38:13

I would take them all to Disneyland USA as I'm a child at heart really and four of them have already been but the youngest Harry won't have a chance to go unless I take him soon.

Ellyfriend Mon 07-Oct-19 23:36:34

I would take them to Kenya to see the orphaned baby elephants and rhinos. And show them the great work the rescue workers do. And let them see these beautiful animals. As they get ready to back to the wild where they belong.

changeznameza Mon 07-Oct-19 22:08:52

To Iceland to see the amazing scenery and the sweet wild ponies. And hopefully a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis. That would be amazing.

Yomple Mon 07-Oct-19 21:20:57

Iceland would be brilliant. If we saw the northern lights that would be an added bonus
