Family Days Out in Godalming

Come to Godalming for a family day out and discover a quintessentially English town offering lots for families to come and see and do. Located on the River Wey the river is definitely a good place to start on your trip to Godalming where you can pick up a horse-drawn narrow-boat and drift downriver with the Godalming Packetboat Company. Their trips offer a tranquil picturesque view of the town and the historical waterways and there’s even the bonus of a delicious cream tea as you coast! Feeling guilty about indulging so early in the day? Never fear, you can head down to Secrett’s Garden Centre together and balance out the calories by picking some of your ‘five-a-day’ in amongst their variety of seasonal fruit and veg crops including strawberries, mangetout, sweetcorn, pumpkins…the list goes on! Secrett’s has great child play areas too and a 1930s-style café for the adults to sit back and relax. And if you’ve all still got energy left over after all that then a wander round Broadwater Park is a fine way to finish off the day, a beautiful open space where you can feed the ducks and watch the other local wildlife.
