Enjoyed the hare trail. Good fun and loved the QR codes to follow the story. First visit missed a couple of hares so revisited to find them. We bought yearly family cards, which are worthwhile if you visit regularly. The kids love the adventure playground. The train cost can add up as it was £4 each, a family ticket would be better. It would be handy to have teas,coffees etc on sale at the adventure park.

Great place to visit but you do have to pay to get in , it's not a free park , there is a little train on the grounds to which you have to pay for you can use card or cash for this and the kids loved goin on it , the park itself has a variety of different things for kids to go on, even smaller parts for the littler ones, sand and digger part , trampoline, slide swings zip line. There a cafe and restaurant on site the restaurant is quite pricey and the cafe don't offer a wide range of food we did however get a sausage roll and an sandwich which was very good. You can of course take your own picnic. Lovely walks around most of it is closed off which is a shame as it's so picturesque there, though we did go down by sheep but couldn't see the 🦌, the maze was fun and it's free parking
