But don't forget there are plenty of places not listed here that are well worth a visit.

5. Mead Open Farm, Leighton Buzzard
Adorable animals? Check. Special events? Check. Hands on activities? Check. Acres of outdoor adventure play as well as indoor play? Check and check! Dino week also returns this half term - meet the dinos, dance at the disco and cheer on your favourite in the Dino Dash. Photo: Jane Russell

6. The Shuttleworth Collection
The collection proudly boasts that all its planes are still airworthy - and you can regularly see them take to the skies at its many air shows, as well as having a poke around the hangars. The popular Military Air Show is set to take place on May 31. You could also check out the nearby beautiful Swiss Garden. Photo: The Shuttleworth Trust. Photo Nick Blacow

7. Dunstable Downs
If the weather's fine you can check out the spectacular views in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This half term you can also start your knightly training and face mythical creatures on an exciting adventure... ahead of a grand quest in October. Photo: National World

8. Edible Ornamentals, Chawston
Some like it hot - and if you do, a visit to the chilli ranch might be right up your street. It's open at weekends from 11am until 4pm. You can also book an experience to learn tips and tricks and taste a variety of artisan sauces. (File photo of hot peppers used for illustrative purposes) Photo: Edoardo Fornaciari/Getty Images
