Spend time together outdoors in Comer Woods. There are plenty of places for little and big people to play and have fun. Bring your bikes and burn off some energy on the trails or head to the play area near the meadow. Dogs are very welcome too.
October Half Term at Comer Woods
From Saturday 25th October to Sunday 2nd November, 10am to 4pm, pick up an Autumn Spotter Trail and head off on your own adventure through the woods to see what signs of autumn you can spot.
You might not spot every autumnal colour today but as the seasons continue to change you will start seeing more so remember your spotter each time you visit.
Pick up your spotter sheet from the car park team. Remember to bring your own pen or pencil.
