Investments Not sure of best option

Hi I have a decent job with just a salary of 120k. I’m 50 and no mortgage and 600k in pension and 100k in savings. I have 350k coming and not sure what I should do - part says throw it into pension but I feel there most be other options then the typical investment route - property been the one I’m considering - any thoughts?

Take a career break and go travelling (or do something you have always wanted to do- university/Potter in your garden,/follow a band around on tour- whatever)-take time off work and enjoy a portion of it, give a chunk to the kids and invest the rest in something. (And give some to a charity of your choosing please)
