Think we're going to get nuked over at Cosford aren't we? Hope there's no overpriced National Trust cafe there - doubt it somehow :lol:

As someone who used to live nearby the West Midlands Safari Park is blummin' excellent - both "halves" would be a great day out on their own, never mind both.

Even better is that you get a pass for the same number of people to return in the same car up to six months (I think) later, so you can either go again for free at some later date, go again the day after (I've done that before - each visit is always different as the animals move round, do different things and suchlike), or go again with a different carload of people!

Witley Court is spectacular, and the Malvern Hills are wonderful (I'm biased - I used to live nearly as high up on them as you can get!)
