The children's play area can be found in the den-building area, which is situated in the woodland just behind the tea-room.

This area offers children the chance to play both on play equipment but also to engage in more natural play as well.

The surrounding woodland has all the materials needed to create dens in the area; hunt for bugs in the undergrowth; build their own forts and let their imaginations run wild.

Natural play on the estate walk

Get the kids to use their imaginations more, and let off some steam, on the Greys Court estate walk.

Along the walk see if children can spot trees to climb; chopped up logs to climb over; a big tree stump they can claim as their throne; or a fallen down tree that has had sitting areas carved into it.

Whatever they come across, it's the perfect place to let imaginations run wild.
