LIVING in land-locked Herefordshire, it is not always easy to get away to the beach.

But children attending one village nursery need not worry as they will still be able to make a sand castle without the need for a long car journey.

The kids at Little Gems Pre-school at Clehonger Primary School have already been enjoying their new toys and sandpit – paid for with a donation by the Tesco supermarket group.

And with warmer weather, finally, on the horizon it seems like it will be a popular addition to the outside play area for the Bank Holiday weekend and, hopefully, many more weeks to come.
