For those looking for adventure, Paultons Theme Park is just half an hour from Macdonald Elmers Court Resort and has something for all with over 70 exciting rides, as well as Peppa Pig World. Located amongst 23 acres of beautiful grounds and gardens, this resort is on the southern edge of the New Forest, just 200 yards from Lymington Pier, the ferry stop for the Isle of Wight which makes the perfect family day trip.
Spring in Snowdonia with Macdonald Plas Talgarth
Nestled at the foot of Snowdonia National Park, Macdonald Plas Talgarth Resort offers an abundance of activities for ‘ewe’ and your little lamb with tennis courts, two swimming pools, a putting green and play areas all on-site. For those looking to explore a bit further afield, the self-catering accommodation is just a stone throw away from the Welsh coastline, offering sandy beaches walks and the chance to see dolphins. There’s also the popular Talyllyn Steam Railway nearby as well as King Arthur’s Labyrinth, for a magical underground journey through winding tunnels to discover ancient tales of Welsh folklore.
