Explore the play area
Queen Victoria used to play at Claremont as a child, and now so can you, with scaled-down versions of Claremont's garden features, including the grass amphitheatre and Belvedere Tower. Explore the pavilion, glide down the slide and scale the ladders and the climbing wall.
With covered areas and an all-weather surface, you can have fun no matter what the British weather is doing.
The play area is ideal for younger children and parents with pushchairs. Find it near the cafe and toilets.
