Best Day Trips in Hertfordshire

Here at Rodells, we’ve been around since 1898, so we know the Hertfordshire area well. With that in mind, we thought we would put that to good use. So, we’ve utilised this knowledge to put together a quick guide of some of our favourite places, that like us, are steeped in history.​

Natural History Museum at Tring

If you’re on a tight budget, but you still fancy a day out, visiting The Walter Rothschild Building in Tring is perfect. It’s free to visit all year round. The museum is filled with Walter Rothschild’s personal zoological collections.

Their museum has been open since 1892, where Rothschild himself employed many collectors from around the world to help him bring together one of the largest zoological collections ever assembled. So, why not go and have a look for yourself?

Knebworth House

You’ve almost definitely seen Knebworth House before. With a recent history of hosting huge concerts and providing a backdrop to many Hollywood films, this country house is iconic. If the sun’s out and you’re stuck for somewhere to go, the stunning grounds are a beautiful place to spend a summer's day. 
​
You could wander through the historic deer park which covers more than 250 acres, with herds of grazing deer who have called the park home for longer than any of its residents. Or, there’s a dinosaur trail and adventure park if you need to keep the kids amused. 

Paradise Wildlife Park

If you would prefer a day outside of interactive and engaging fun, Paradise Wildlife Park is the place. There’s truly something for the whole family at this beautiful wildlife park. 

There’s a whole host of experiences to get your teeth into. You could feed red pandas, feed meerkats, or take a tour of the Reptile Temple. It’s not just all about the animals though. If in your party there’s a few who aren’t so keen on getting up close and personal with the animals, there’s no need to worry. The wildlife park has a mini-golf course, adventure playgrounds, and even a national speedway museum, too!
