Formby Nature Reserve, Liverpool
Formby is a coastal town just north of Liverpool and is luckily one of the few places in Britain where there are a large number of red squirrels.Children will love the excitement of getting to see these cute animals.The paths are well protected, meaning they are fit for pushchairs.And dogs are allowed, too.

Hadrian’s Wall, Newcastle
The 73-mile-long Hadrian’s Wall was completed by the Romans in 128 AD after 6 years’ building.Autumn walks along Hadrian’s Wall are an excellent way to educate children on the history of the British Isles and really get up close to the styles of Roman buildings rather than just see it in a textbook!

Lyme Park, Peak District
Not only is Lyme Park home to many trees, it is also home to a group of medieval (中世纪的) red deer and a huge Edwardian country manor (庄园).This Peak District walk is quite fit for families, and along the way are playgrounds and tree houses, making sure that the little ones that you are with will never feel bored.

Lakeside Walk at Stowe, Buckinghamshire
This place is on the outskirts of London and provides people with perfect chances to escape from the busy city lifestyle.The flat and wide path around the river makes it more than fit for pushchairs or wheelchairs.This walk is short in length, meaning it is a great way to introduce any young one to walking as a hobby.The walk is great all year round.
