A Moomin wetland trail, mazes and magical woody walks feature among our tipsters’ bank holiday trips around Britain
Easily reached from Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Falkirk Wheel and Kelpies on the Forth and Clyde canal make for a superb family day out. The Falkirk Wheel is a giant boat lift between different levels of the canal. You can actually ride the wheel on a boat trip. As well as the wheel, there is a great free play area, crazy golf, cafe and boating lake. Parking is £3.50 for the day. Bring a bike or hire one for the four-mile ride along the canal to see the giant Kelpie sculptures – billed as the largest equine sculptures in the world – at Helix Park. The immense size of these incredible structures never fail to wow adults and children. Entry to the park is free.
• Adult £13.50, child £7.50 for one-hour boat trip including wheel revolution
