Mother Shipton’s Cave
Mother Shipton’s Cave is an active destination for children.
All children 4 and over get a trail quiz, 10 questions as they walk through the Park. When completed they win a chocolate bar!
There are audio boxes in the Cave and in front of the Petrifying Well that has a childrens’ version, there is a statue in a dark corner of the cave that always gives the kids a fright.
The museum is entertaining rather than formal with life size figures including Mother Shipton.
Kids love making a wish and getting their hand wet. With the 2 adventure playgrounds as well it’s a great family day out.
