Ready, steady, play!
Take the secret tunnel from the farmyard to our newly reopened woodland adventure playground.
Tackle ladders or the climbing wall to ascend our tall towers for a bird's-eye view from among the tree-tops.
Each tower is connected by rope bridges or a crawl tunnel with a raised platform at the centre. Communicate between the towers on the 'flower phone' before returning to ground level at speed with a choice of four slides; two racing slides, a spiral slide, or one that is over 12 metres long.
Climb inside our huge Great Spotted Woodpecker, mount the log tangle and shoot off down the zip wire. There are also climbing frames, swings, a giant sand play area, and an Archimedes screw to fetch water from the stream.
The playground has a coffee hut and a picnic area.
