Cliveden’s Woodland Play Trail
Created using the lay-out of the woodland this all-natural play trail is a great opportunity to explore the woods and let imaginations run free.
Why not while away an hour or two on our log stepping stones, balancing beams, rope swings and more? There are also opportunities to strengthen your climbing and den building skills along the way.
Situated in the heart of our woodlands just beyond our entry kiosk, off Green Drive, the play trail is a great way to get active outdoors and all in the name of fun. Designed with children aged 6+ in mind.
Just next to the play trail you will also find Clive's Den, our extra special natural den for make-believe of all kinds. Clive's Den is big enough for the whole family hide in plus there's wooden musical chimes to play and it's a great secluded spot to pop your feet up at our tree trunk picnic tables.
Cliveden's Giant Maze
Can you find your way to the centre of Cliveden’s Giant Maze? Our current maze is based on one that was built for the 1st Viscount Astor in 1894 and has over 500 metres of paths winding amongst two-metre high hedges. The maze covers approximately one third of an acre, making the maze the same size as the world-famous Hampton Court maze.
We started work recreating the giant puzzle in 2009 and it was officially opened on Friday 8 April 2011 by renowned gardener, broadcaster and writer Alan Titchmarsh. The maze’s beautiful hand-forged wrought iron gates were created by Chris Collman from Burnham who is known locally as The Wrought Iron Man. The gates have a strong Victorian influence and commemorate both Lord Astor’s original maze and our recreation.
