Whether you’re after a wild play area to let little legs run off some steam, a peaceful garden for a buggy-friendly walk, or a children’s trail through a house filled with treasures, there’s something for all ages here at Sizergh.
Here’s some useful information to help plan your visit to Sizergh:
Test your balance and bravery as you head into the woodland to follow the wild play trail, where hours of family fun are waiting. Follow the clues to reach the end, trying the climbing wall, balance beams, rope swing and stepping-stones along the way.
This natural play area was made by our talented ranger team and is most suitable for ages 3 and up (although smaller children will need a helping hand from a grown up)
There are three popular walking routes in the estate which are marked in a map available from Ashbank, the visitor reception building.
The house is full of thousands of quirky items – from King James II’s blood to boomerangs and spears. If you’re really observant you might also notice scallop shells hidden everywhere you look: in paintings, carved in wood, and in stained glass.
These shells are symbolic of the Catholic faith which has played an integral part in the Strickland family’s lives across the centuries. Pick up a trail sheet when you enter the house to see how many examples you can find.
