Who would like this: Family groups with children aged 3-10 years. Families with under 3’s welcome at their own discretion, the younger the child, the more teamwork required. All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

How does it work? This trail has been designed for the whole family to take part in, it will help develop children’s map reading and orienteering skills as well as igniting their imagination. Find the 6 trail posters in the garden. Each poster will tell you about a place that faeries might use in the gardens and why. Copy each location onto the map in your trail sheet so that you can find them later. Disclaimer – we cannot guarantee you will see faeries as they are nervous of people and love to remain hidden. Even if you don’t see any faeries, there are suggested activities you can try related to each location.

What to bring  Please dress for the weather and wear appropriate shoes for walking the site over uneven ground and grass areas. bring a pencil or buy one for 50p. Like everywhere, we prefer card payments, but just in case of technical issues, please bring cash as a backup.
