Travelling over from Ireland to visit the Harry Potter Studios and staying in Kings Langley. Is anyone familiar with the area? Any ideas as to other things to do nearby? Flying in and out of Luton Airport and will have a hire car.
Drop in for a cup of tea. Failing that, Hemel has an ice rink (assuming it's still there) and bowling. Watford is nearby by train or car and marginally more exciting in terms of pubs and eating out. Would just go to London though- half an hour or so direct from KL to Euston.
Kings Langley has little to offer. There's a reasonably nice pizza place called Oscars worth a look, you could also try the indoor ski slope in Hemel Hemstead two miles down the road. If you have the time, you are far better off jumping on a train and heading into London. Luton has only two major plus points, they are the airport and Luton's location right on the M1 motorway. Both of those enable a rapid exit from Luton.
Aldbury and ashridge for a walk 15 mins drive Hatfield house Hatfield for some history 20 mins the other way But ideally jump on a train and go to London 40 mins train
Woburn Safari Park is only 30 minutes away. That's a good day out. They've also got 'Go Ape' which is a high ropes course which is great fun for youngsters and adults alike. http://www.woburnsafari.co.uk/ Or/and take a short trip down to Wembley Stadium and take the tour. http://www.wembleystadium.com/Wembley-Tours.aspx
I went last year with the mrs..Harry Potter Studios was alright but if you like Harry potter you will love it. where are you staying? there's a nice little cafe/wine shop which is good for breakfast! ..
Staying in a hotel in Kings Langley but with no breakfast included in the rate. What's the name of the nice little cafe/wine shop which is good for breakfast?
Dalling and co its opposite Oscars pizza place which is also very good!... which hotel you staying at? we stayed at the shendish manor,beautiful little place.
We're booked into the Premier Inn in Kings Langley. Will have to check that cafe out. Two honourable mentions now for Oscars. My kids love pizza so will definitely try that out.
If you like coffee there's a good coffee shop called Fred and Ginger also do a very decent sausage roll
