But all that glisters…  It asks: What do you do when you find everything you know is wrong? When you realise your planet is teetering on the brink of extinction, do you just put the kettle on and get on with your day? Over the course of an action-packed hour, two actors play a cast of dozens as they unravel the hidden horror of life on LOL.

Things to do Events and activities for family fun in the UK > Sign up here The Best Walks In the UK For Autumn Brownsea Island, Dorset Found in the middle of Poole Harbour in Dorset, Brownsea Island is a true gem. A five-mile walk route takes you round the island, with plenty of wildlife to see along the way including red squirrels, dragonflies, deer and lizards. Explore a variety of landscapes and habitats including freshwater lakes, a sheltered lagoon, beaches, an abandoned village, grasslands and seashores. Valley of Rocks, Exmoor National Park Located within Devon’s Exmoor National Park, the Valley of Rocks is a glorious sight – particularly when the weather is on your side. Found at the mouths of the wooded gorges of the East and West Lyn rivers, it’s reached by an easy walk from the village of Lynmouth along the coast road. Once here, you can climb to the clifftops for unparalleled views of the seascape. South Foreland Lighthouse Walk A landmark of the White Cliffs of Dover, the Victorian lighthouse was built to warn mariners of shifting sands. The views from the top are quite something, and – good news – it’s only a one-mile walk there from the town. Start at St Margaret’s Bay before following a section of the South West Coast Path up to South Foreland. You’ll pass the beautiful Pines Garden along the way, which has a waterfall and adjoining lake, grass labyrinth and organic kitchen garden, so it’s well worth stopping there for a quick explore. Blickling Estate, Norfolk Explore the rolling woodlands of the National Trust’s Blickling Estate, a Jacobean mansion with magnificent gardens in Norfolk. The route takes you across a mixture of gentle slopes, woods, and open fields, and you’ll visit a number of historic points along the way including a pyramid mausoleum and an 18th century tower built for watching steeplechases once held in the park. Seven Sisters, South Downs With its chalk sea cliffs, meandering rivers and sheltered valleys, the eastern South Downs is home to some of the UK’s most beautiful scenery. Head to the Seven Sisters Country Park to see for yourself: there are a variety of routes for walkers, from short strolls to tougher nine-milers. If you’re up for the latter, head south along the River Cuckmere until you reach the mouth, where you can stop for a quick dip at the shingle beach. Creative Kirklees Newsletter 26 October 2021 Happy holidays to all of you who are taking time out for half term this week – we hope you’ve had chance to enjoy some of the activities in last week’s newsletter, and if not there’s plenty of time to join in as many of them continue throughout this week and over the weekend.
