Outdoor Activities for all the Family
A – Perry Forest
Our walks cater for all ages and all degrees of fitness, and are suitable for children as well as adults. Every Saturday and Sunday throughout the year our experts lead several walks. So whether you want a short stroll on level ground, or a more challenging walk to the top of Shepherds Hill, we have something for you.
B – Pugsley Beach Nature Reserve
The reserve has plenty of wildlife, whatever the time of year, with its numerous species of birds, and plants that grow hardly anywhere else, but the autumn is when hundreds of grey seals arrive on the beach to have their young. The covered viewing area offers spectacular close-up views of all this, and hot drinks and snacks are available to help you keep warm.
C – Marston Hall
If you ever wonder what wildlife trusts do for the environment, come to Marston Hall, where our rangers will show you how they manage wildlife habitats, from providing feeding boxes for squirrels to creating ponds for frogs and many other creatures. They’ll also take you on a short walk through the ancient pine forest in search of animal tracks and signs.
D – Craven Discovery Centre
Here at the discovery centre, youngsters are introduced to the animals in our petting zoo, where they can stroke or feed the sheep, rabbits, ponies and other residents. Then they’re taken on a walk through the wood. Meanwhile, the adults can take part in one of our woodland activities, such as learning basic woodworking skills.
E – Shelford Family Wild Outing
Go birdwatching or catch insects as daylight fades, then have a gentle jog along the River Wale by moonlight, and end by toasting marshmallows on a campfire. It’s all part of a Family Wild Outing in Shelford, organised by the local wildlife trust. Ideal for both adults and children.
F – Garston Park
Come to Garston Park when the sun has set and explore the solar system. Ideal for children —and their parents — who are interested in astronomy. Our experts will help you to find your way among the stars, and then we gather in the visitor centre for refreshments. Please note that events are cancelled if the weather is cloudy.
