'I tried the huge outdoor playpark named best attraction and had to drag the kids out'

In an era of iPads and YouTube videos zapping our youngsters' attention, it's rather refreshing to spend a day out with the kids where simply running around in a woodland keeps them deliriously happy for hours and hours. Although not many woodlands are quite so adventure-packed as the BeWILDerwood family attraction in Cheshire, it's fair to say.

This vast outdoor adventure park has just been named Visitor Attraction of the Year for Cheshire - beating off the likes of Chester Zoo, Jodrell Bank and The Ice Cream Farm in the process. So I headed along with my two children to see just what it is that won it the accolade.

The first thing to say is it really is a full day out for the whole family - just attempting to discover every element of this vast woodland park felt like an adventure in itself and racked me up 10,000 steps on my Fitbit. It's pretty much all outdoors, so you'll need to prepare for all weather eventualities, although we struck extremely lucky with a gloriously sunny day on our visit.
