Adventure Playground

Approached by a shady path lined with the dwellings of enchanted woodland folk, the natural wooden playground sits in a grassy glade behind the Elizabethan family home and has been designed to complement its ancient woodland setting. The young at heart will love the double zip wire, tower with twisting tubular slide, nine basket and tyre swings, five-person seesaw, spinning roundabout, and much more. There’s also a gentler toddler play area and an accessible loo with baby changing facilities.

This is all a stone’s throw from the courtyard café serving takeaway coffees, scooping ice creams, and packing up treats to enjoy as a picnic. 

The playground, which is open almost year-round, offers hours of fun for the whole family and is included in the gardens admission price or a membership pass.
