50 things at Stoneywell

With its winding paths, a wooden lizard hidden in the trees and a swing hanging from a tree, the gardens at Stoneywell have provided the backdrop for excitement and adventure for generations. Today, check off some of the National Trust's list of '50 things to do before you're 11¾', and have fun outdoors in the process!

From hunting for bugs and bird watching to making a trail with sticks, you can tick off many of the '50 things' at Stoneywell. You can also catch a fallen leaf from one of the many oak trees in the woods, discover what's in a pond (or, rather, the plunge pool) and try rock climbing up to the fort.
