Begin your second day at Newton Farm, a traditional family-run working farm in the Angus countryside.

A guided farm tour gives adults and children the chance to meet some of the animals and discover what happens on a working farm throughout the changing seasons.

The farm also offers special experiences, which can include alpaca walks and opportunities to meet Highland cows.

Experiences should be booked in advance.

Continue to Murton Farm and Nature Reserve, where your family can explore ponds, paths and wildlife habitats at its own pace.

Look out for birds, insects and other wildlife as you enjoy a gentle countryside walk. The reserve’s mix of water, grassland and woodland habitats offers children a chance to discover how different plants and animals depend on the landscape.

Families can also meet some of the farm animals and enjoy the outdoor play facilities when conditions allow.

Paths may be muddy, wet or slippery during autumn and winter. Wear waterproof footwear and warm clothing, and supervise children closely beside ponds and other areas of open water.

Take a break in Murton Tearoom and enjoy a warming family lunch in the countryside.

Choose from homemade soups, sandwiches and light meals, followed by a cake or sweet treat. Hot and cold drinks are also available, making the tearoom a convenient place to rest and refuel before the afternoon’s indoor activity.

Check current opening and food-serving times before your visit.

Spend the afternoon at Forfar Indoor Sports, an all-weather venue offering a selection of activities under one roof.

The centre is particularly well known for curling and ice sports, giving families a chance to try something different during autumn and winter.

Depending on the date, bookable sessions may be available for beginners, families and organised groups. Availability, minimum ages and equipment requirements can vary between activities.

Contact the venue in advance to find a suitable session and book your places. Warm, comfortable clothing is recommended.

Complete your second day with dinner at The Stag in Forfar.

This family-friendly restaurant offers a comfortable place to relax after a day of farm visits, wildlife watching and indoor activities.

The menu features familiar favourites and comforting dishes that are well suited to a colder evening.

Check current opening and serving times before travelling, and book ahead where possible.

Begin your final day beside the sea at West Links Park, a spacious recreation area close to Arbroath’s sandy beach.

The park has an adventure playground and open spaces where children can play. Seasonal activities include mini cars, crazy golf, footgolf and tennis, which operate at weekends and during school holidays between March and October.

Families can combine time in the playground with a short beach walk when conditions are calm. During autumn and winter, supervise children closely and keep well back from rough water.

If the weather is not on your side, head to Jumping Joey’s for an energetic soft-play session. The centre includes a four-lane slide, ball pools, foam-ball cannons and a spider tower, with separate play areas for babies and toddlers.

Alternatively, choose a family film at Arbroath Cinema or enjoy traditional amusement-arcade entertainment at Pleasureland. Check opening times, screening schedules, age guidance and booking arrangements before travelling.

Head to The Bell Rock Restaurant for a family lunch near Arbroath Harbour.

The restaurant specialises in freshly cooked fish and chips, with restaurant dining, takeaway food and a lunchtime buffet. It is also a great place to try the world-famous Arbroath Smokie, served grilled, battered or breaded.

Check current opening times and buffet availability before visiting.

After lunch, take a short walk around Arbroath Harbour. Children can look out for fishing boats in the marina and discover more about the town’s close connection with the sea.

Keep children close beside the harbour edge, particularly when the ground is wet or icy or the weather is windy.

Spend the afternoon getting creative at Potter Rhoney, a paint-your-own-pottery studio on Arbroath High Street.

Choose a piece of pottery and bring it to life with your own colours and design. The activity is suitable for a wide range of ages, giving children, parents and grandparents the chance to get creative together.

Your finished piece makes a personal reminder of your family adventure in Angus.

Booking is recommended. Check session times, prices and how and when completed pottery can be collected before visiting.

Bring your family adventure to a close with dinner at The Townhouse Hotel in the heart of Arbroath.

This family-owned hotel has a lively restaurant and bar with comfortable booths, tables and window seating. Its menu features fresh ingredients from local suppliers, offering a welcoming place to relax and share stories from your three days in Angus.

If you would like to extend your stay, the hotel has a selection of individually decorated rooms. Its High Street location is within walking distance of Arbroath Railway Station and town-centre attractions, including Webster Memorial Theatre.

Book dinner and accommodation in advance.
