Things to do on a sunny day in Surrey

When the sun comes out there are few better places to be than in Surrey.    Plenty of outdoor fun attractions await you.

Take a dip in a swimming pool
The outdoor pools and slides at Guildford Lido are a great place to cool down.  Take the family or relax with friends and enjoy some water fun.

Swing through the tree tops
At Go Ape, near Farnham, Wild Wood Adventure  in Guildford and Skywalk Adventure near Esher you  can experience the thrills of zip wires, rope bridges and more.  Both adventure parks have courses designed for adults as well as juniors.

Go for a walk
Appreciate the tranquillity of a walk along a tow path or uncover the splendour of a glorious English Garden.  Stunning views are the payoff if you climb Leith Hill, the highest point in South East England or how about  a perfect walk in the sun around Virginia Water Lake.

Take a ride on a miniature steam train
Wave and smile as you pass people on your journey on a narrow-gauge train.  Great fun for young and old alike.

Visit the animals
Enjoy some fun down on the farm at Bocketts or Godstone Farms where you can see, ducks, pigs, cows and all the other farm favourites.  At the British Wildlife Centre you will get to meet native British wildlife like the water vole and weasel and at Birdworld you can get up close to parrots, pelicans and penguins.

Take to the water on a boat
Hire a row boat from West Byfleet or Farncombe Boat House in Godalming and enjoy a leisurely row along the river or for an even more relaxing experience take a boat ride down the Thames and delight in the beautiful scenery as it passes you by.  Put your feet up with a river trip with the French Brothers down the Thames.  

Find a perfect picnic spot
Why not fill up a hamper, roll out a picnic blanket and enjoy the sunshine at one of Surrey amazing parks.  Frensham Ponds with its small beach area makes the perfect pinic spot on a warm summers day.

Enjoy a ride at a theme park
Perfect for the young and the young at heart.  In Surrey you will find two theme parks, Thorpe Park with its thrill rides, The Swarm, Saw – the Ride and Colossus and Chessington World of Adventures with its themed lands as well as its Zoo and SEA LIFE centre.    At both parks you will be able to twist and turn down roller coasters or get splashed on a water slide.
