This tranquil walk takes you round part of an old Victorian duck pond, through what is now wet woodland.

White posts guide you across the field to the first bridge near the Willow trees and Bog Alders. The paths then go along the side of the Sherford River (a small river that once fed the duck pond) and into the driest parts of the woods. The ivy covered brickwork and old drainage channels form part of a 17th Century water storage system used by a local flax mill at that time.

Plant highlights include Harts Tongue Ferns, Buckler & Polybody Ferns. With Tussock Sedge and Yellow Flag Iris enjoying the damp conditions. Also look out for Mallard Duck, Grey Wagtail and other small birds.

Please note: The Woodland Walk is not designed for baby buggies, though some have managed in dry summer weather. Pushchairs may be left in the pram park in the Play Barn (at owners risk).

Whatever the weather one will always be up. (NB the outside castle will be deflated in high winds or wet weather for health & safety reasons) .

Please note: We request children remove their shoes before playing on the castles and parental supervision is required.

Climbing, Swings and See Saws...

Let off steam with traditional childrens play equipment. Climbing, swinging, sliding, springing and more climbing.

Our maize maze is planted in April ready for the summer. Play hide and seek and see if you can get to the middle, through the tunnel or climb the mound!

The maize is corn on the cob for cows to eat.

Please note: It is not for human consumption.
