Croft Castle and Parkland

Get your kids closer to nature at Croft with ‘50 things to do before you’re 11¾’. There’s plenty of outdoor activities to do all year round, from building a den to creating some wild art.

Excavations which spanned over a six-year period in the 1960s secured Croft Ambrey’s status as an Iron Aged Hillfort and scheduled monument. A recent discovery here now implies the land was actually occupied up to a thousand years beforehand.

Discover acres of one of England's favourite spring flowers; the native bluebell. The ancient woodland here erupts into brilliant blue every spring, why not come along and see it for yourself?
