Family-friendly things to do on the estate

See the estate spring to life in vibrant colours. Hyacinths, blossom trees, daffodils, bluebells and tulips will all be in bloom, alongside our national collection of camassias. Towards the end of May we’ll also see rhododendrons, laburnum and azaleas in colour.

Scrap‘s Spring Spotter Trail

From cows to bees and birds, there's lots to spot all over Attingham and plenty to listen to, too. Look out for the sights and listen out for the sounds of spring on Scrap’s Spring Spotter Trail.
his is a self-led trail. Trail sheets cost £1 and include a sticker prize featuring Scrap, the Walled Garden Cat. Trails are available from Visitor Recption while stocks last.

Natural play

As you head around the park you'll find lots of natural play to keep little (and not so little) ones entertained. From fallen tree trunks to muddy paths and logs over the stream at the top of the Mile Walk there are various spots to be found. Children must be supervised at all times.

Sensory bags

We have three sensory bags and ear defenders available for loan during a visit and these can be signed out/in at Visitor Reception. The items in the bags were suggested by a group of young people from Autism West Midlands.

We hope they can help visitors with autism, sensory processing disorder, or those who think they would benefit from them, during a visit to Attingham.

Wildlife at Attingham

As you explore Attingham on your visit, you'll be able to spot some of our most popular animals at Attingham.

The fallow deer in the park, descended from the original herd brought to Attingham in the late 1700s.

In the woodland listen out for bird calls, and we'd be very surprised if you don't bump into a friendly robin or two around the park!

Attingham Park is home to a wide range of wildlife, don't miss the Deer Park, the Walled Garden and beautiful woodland walks.
