Discovery Land
Join us on our family nature trail in the great outdoors. Our much-loved Discovery Land is set amongst 40 acres of beautiful countryside, welcoming visitors of all ages throughout the seasons.
Open all year, Discovery Land is the perfect place for healthy outdoor activity with family and friends.
A family nature trail with surprises around every corner! Venture along our way-marked walk through ancient woodland, green pastures, meadows and around our lakes.
Discovery Land changes with the seasons; from cheerful spring daffodils to frosty cobwebs on our spooky halloween trail, the walk is different every time you visit and is enjoyed by many of our returning customers time and time again.
Our trails are designed especially for families; prompting your little ones to discover interesting facts about the surrounding wildlife and trees.

Festive Experiences

As you head off on your adventure....
…up in the distance, high on the hill, you’ll see our Giant’s Chair. Take a seat and you’ll really feel like you’re king of the castle!
On our family nature trail you’ll find our new guardians Fern, Timber and Pebble. Deep in the woods, visit Timber’s new treetop home, then rush off over the wibbly wobbly bridge, down to Fern’s house.
Make sure that you don’t miss our fairy city as you wind your way along the woodland walk, which is carpeted with bluebells in the spring.
Down at our beautiful lake, you’ll find our hungry fish. Watch as the water becomes alive with hundreds of carp, ready to be fed! Don’t forget to buy some of our approved fish food at the entrance (unavailable during the winter).
You’ll no doubt come across our resident guinea fowls on your visit, which are sure to keep everyone entertained.
Did you know a group of guinea fowl is called a confusion? You’ll see why when you meet our feathered friends!
Shepherd's Hut Café
After all that fresh air and fun, you’ll be ready for a sit down and a bite to eat!
Our Shepherd’s Hut Café here at Discovery Land offers selection of delicious hot drinks, refreshments, sweet treats and marshmallow toasting!
