4 Ben Roters

4 Ben Roters blog 4

Hello every one I've had a weekend with my granny and grandad, we went to "Crich tramway village" it's just past Matlock which took us 1 1/2 hrs but was well worth it.

It's a fabulous place to visit as you get to ride on the trams as many times as you want they also have different themed events throughout the year, last time I came it was a Halloween event which was well spooky. There's a gift and sweet shop here, I bought a "Wonka bar" and you will have to wait until the end of this blog to see if it had a Golden ticket inside.

Tickets please

You can get to see all the different trams they have and visit the museum showing all the trams through the different ages, from the first horse drawn to the latest electric tram, they even had a tram powered by steam (grandad loved it).

We decided to take a tram to the end of the line, have some dinner then walk back to the village by the woodland sculpture trail which was tops.

This is where we had dinner, me and grandad had to run round the shelter to keep warm as it was freezing.

All in all it was a brill day and guess what?

I got a golden ticket in my Wonka bar so all I need to do is find out where the Wonka chocolate factory is?
