Autumn at Plas yn Rhiw

Discover Plas yn Rhiw this autumn and spend time together as a family.

Put on your boots and head on a trail around the garden and woodland where vibrant autumn leaves sets the stage for an exciting exploration. Have a go at making your own woodland creature with twigs and leaves, or get up close and personal with friendly creepy crawlies.

Challenge your family to a friendly competition on our exciting obstacle course set in the woods, or see who can stop, listen and identify the most bird songs.

Nature spotter sheets

Have you ever tried looking really closely at some of the flowers, leaves, lichens and insects we have around us?

The Plas yn Rhiw nature spotter takes visitors through the gardens, woodland and orchard with information and clues about where to find queen bumble bees in spring, wildflowers in summer or fungi in autumn amongst many other things.

Along with the booklet, you will get hand lenses and binoculars with the I.D. guides providing you with all you need to explore and discover.
