Getting around outside
Wren ( Yellow) Family walking trail
A great all-ability trail with plenty of benches and is also where you will find our family activity trail ( currently none in place). Along the way you will find the Sleeping Gruffalo, The Gruffalos' Child sculptures and den building areas.
The surface is hardcore surface on the path. The trail will take you past the Go Ape cabin and under some of the course.
Picnic Area
Picnic Area
We have a total of 8 wooden picnic tables located just off the hardcore path at the start of the walking trails adjacent to the play area. The tables are located directly on the forest floor and some ground maybe uneven with tree roots.
We also have a large, grassed area where you are able to picnic without seating.
Play Area
The play area is accessed from the tarmacked path and has no entrance. The play area is located on a dirt and woodchip surface. The play equipment is located on several different levels which are separated by earthen slopes. The play equipment is not designed for wheelchair accessibility.
