Lightwater Valley, North Yorkshire

Lightwater Valley is home to a 175 acre theme park, factory outlet shopping village and Bird of prey centre.

The park's most notorious ride is the 'Ultimate', famous for being Europe's longest roller coaster. There are 39 other rides which are grouped into Jaw Droppers, Whipper Snappers and Nippers, depending on how thrilling they are. Jaw Dropper rides include the Eagle's claw, The Hornet's nest and a giant triple shoot water slide called the Falls of Terror.

At the parks centre is a lake and for those wishing to take in the beautiful grounds without having to walk there is a miniature railway called the Lightwater Express which runs around the park.
Also located within the theme Park is a bird of prey centre, housing one of the largest Golden Eagles in England. There are flying displays at 2pm and 4pm every day and the opportunity to see how the birds are trained and handled.

For a bit of retail therapy, you can tackle the 30,000 square foot factory outlet shopping centre.
