Donkey Riding

All British kids love the seaside. There is sand to play on, sea to swim in, fish and chips to eat, ice cream to lick, and, of course, donkeys to ride on. And donkey rides are a great British tradition.

Donkey riding started in England in the Victorian times at the seaside resort of Weston Super Mare. Now, there are donkeys to ride on on every British beach. And, every donkey has its name on its harness.

Children love donkeys, and even the Queen went donkey riding when she was little!
