Enjoy the spring with a cheap trip

Take a cheap and rewarding spring break by visiting your local city farm or open day at an animal sanctuary, says Ruth Jackson.

Take a cheap and rewarding spring break by visiting your local city farm or open day at an animal sanctuary. "The time is right for spotting spring lambs frolicking in the fields and ducklings taking to the water," says Hannah Ricci in MoneyWise. Devon's Donkey Sanctuary is free to visit. Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital near Aylesbury has a nursery area where you can see staff hand-rearing orphaned birds and mammals. City farms are often free to visit and a great day out for children. To find your nearest city farm, visit Farmgarden.org.uk.
