Some activities have a special feel and these are also listed under Adventures and other relevant categories, for example Top Rated AdventuresMagical AdventuresFree Entry AdventuresAdventure Play and Wild Adventures.

There are two maps that look like this:

When labelling an activity as free, I have not taken into account travel costs (including the cost of car parking) and have decided to include National Trust properties and RHS gardens in both lists as they are free for members.
