My starter for 10.

Wookey Hole - Somerset.

£16 adult
£11 child over 3.

it's just a cave ffs!

Whoops.That's a five point penalty for naming ANYTHING in Somerset.

Besides,Wookey Hole isn't "just a cave",it is a geological wonderland,and has the paper mill where if you could stop steaming about the entry price you could make your own paper,and one could spend hours in the amusements from bygone days (perhaps imagining yourself on the West Pier in the forties and fifties) and maybe lose yourself in the incredible glass maze.

My children went in in 1999.Haven't seen them since.

Bargain.

[Nibble]

People with kids moaning about the price of activities should maybe use their imaginations and find free entertainment or raise kids that can occupy themselves for a bit of time. You don't have to pay through the nose to entertain your kiddies, yes a good day out is nice here and there and yes, you do have to pay out for them but surely this was expected when you planned kids?

as a resident of Somerset myself i reserve the right to criticise without penalty

£43 for 2 adults and one child to walk around a cave for 20 minutes. As the visitor numbers were too high you were not allowed to make your own paper, just watch a scrap being made, and £1 for 12 old coins to put into retro slot machines. I felt robbed!
