Can anyone suggest somewhere fun to take the kids for 2-3 hours that is fairly close to the M6 between Glasgow and Manchester? I want to break up a long journey for them!

10, 4 and 1 years old.

Thanks.

some national trust properties not far off the motor way near lakes - siezergh [spell?] castle for example but not really in the middle of your journey.

Junkyard - thanks, will look into that

iDave - Didn't think of that, they had a huge BBQ on last time we stopped there. Just have to try and keep the wife out of the farm shop, or at least keep her handbag out of it.

Ostrich world looks promising, bang on halfway.

Hadrian's Wall. Head inland at Carlisle to Housesteads and Vindolanda. That's what we've done in the past (from Aberdeen and Glasgow to Oxford).

But Manchester to Glasgow isn't THAT long. Two DVDs, surely?

Glasgow to Manchester is just the middle section of the journey 😥

Thank you for all the suggestions.
