Outdoor play
There's plenty of space to run free and explore the garden and woodlands at Standen. It’s a great place to run off steam or slow down and see which wildlife call Standen home.
We love playing in the garden, but we also love the delicate plants, trees and shrubs so please leave balls, scooters and frisbees in your car.
On Rock Top Walk you can also find Bothy nestled in the trees which is a great place to stop for a rest on your big adventure. Sit for a moment and let your imagination run wild, make up a story about who might have lived in the Bothy and what adventures they might have been on. Please note that access to the Plantation and Bothy does involve steps up to the area and may not be suitable for buggies. There is currently no access inside the Bothy, however you can explore the area outside it.
