Holiday 2024 Day 1: Berkhamsted Castle, Denny Abbey and Farmland Museum, Grimes Graves

Woohoo, holiday time! And this year we took the dogs with us! It meant a bit more planning as we had to find places that were dog friendly as well as consider the weather which was surprisingly hot! We also had to take both cars to carry all of us and our bags!
All of our stops to break up the journey were English Heritage sites.
Our first stop was Berkshamsted Castle. We had visited before but went back because the kids loved it (so did the dogs) with plenty of open space to explore as well as trains to watch. The only downside is that there are no toilet facilities.

Next was Denny Abbey and Farmland Museum. It had something for everyone: history for me, farming for Chris, things to explore for the dogs, a playground for the kids.

Our final stop before arriving at our holiday house was Grimes Graves, a prehistoric flintmine and burial site. The mine was pleasantly cold after the blazing sun at ground level.
