Twins, a girl and a boy 20 months old. Any ideas, maybe 20 miles radius of Colne. Cheers.

The Red lion hotel in the centre of colne is quite welcoming and children are made to feel at home, but only until 8pm. The crack in wall is quite nice nowadays with a lovely beer yard out the back and I am pretty sure there allowed to stay in here until closing time. If you want something a bit more upmarket then you could try a few in the wetherspoons, again lovely beer yard and fantastic views from out the back, superb food as well.

The Leisure Box is free soft play during the week in term time. My 3 year old loves it.

Barley can be lovely in September.

Free roadside parking...dogs welome..visit once and you'll be back with friends.

[claretnproud]

Thanks for all suggestions. Will be looking very closely at them all. A few more would be great. Thanks.

The resident locals love the huge number of cars parked along the roadsides around Barley and welcome people with cheery waves and smiles

[Billy Balfour]

Yes, the Barley residents are such a friendly bunch. They always wave goodbye when I drive away. I think it's a wave. Maybe I should get my eyes tested.

[Marney&Mee]

Thanks for all suggestions. Will be looking very closely at them all. A few more would be great. Thanks.

Perhaps bfccrazy could pull his finger out and come up with a few more...

[bodge]

If i was you i would seriously look at buying a campervan, the kids would love exploring it and drive out to Barley and enjoy the magnificent autumnal vistas, the best thing is you can stay there overnight and not pay a thing.

[claretnproud]

We already go to Barley a lot. I find the locals very friendly, even when blocking their drive and the kids dropping sweet papers everywhere. Lovely place.

[Fretters]

Run Amok in Haslingden is a good play centre with stuff for kids of all ages.

Don't care where they go has long as you keep them out of the pubs where I go supping. Sick of kids running around the bar area and even some families putting the brats on the bar. Children should be seen a not heard, banned from the bar area and told to sit quietly or get out

And don't forget the playground opposite the pub!

Kids should be left in the car with a bag of crisps and a bottle of Lemonade... especially on a very hot day with the window open just a crack for ventilation.
