May Half Term - Teddy Bear and Wildlife Trail

Burn off some energy and learn about the great outdoors this half term with a teddy bear wildlife activity trail.

  • Booking not needed
  • Admission applies

Bring the kids and their favourite teddy bear along on a magical wildlife mystery adventure where they will meet a special cast of local wildlife.

Kids will help Rosie the Red Kite to solve the mystery of the broken Great Dawn Chorus, which is missing one of its most important voices.

They will follow a ten-point trail solving clues, riddles and challenges along the way.

The trail should take about 30-40 minutes and is based along our multi-user, accessible pathway which is suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.

And while you're here, enjoy some kite flying and our café in the visitor centre, which has a range of hot and cold drinks and delicious treats.
