Queenswood Country Park

The glorious Queenswood Country Park is a classic location for an outdoor family adventure with lots of natural delights to see as you explore, plus that all important adventure playground!

The Aboretum is a leaf collector's utopia with 1,200 rare and exotic trees in their collection! There are several waymarked trails for family rambles with panoramic views ideal for a family photo backdrop, so take a camera!

The Badger Trail is easy and 1 mile long, with optional detour to avoid the steeper slope; The Fox Trail is 1.5 miles and has a few steep paths to tackle and is sometimes muddy; The Deer Trail is 2.5 miles and has several significantly steep sections and is often muddy and slippery. Fun if you've got good boots and balance!

There are 7 large wooden animal sculptures scattered around the forest for the kids to spot, but don't tell the kids how many to expect in total unless you're doing all the trails, or you will almost certainly miss some and might get told off!

The Reading Seat in the orchard is another lovely spot for a photo, intended for a family storytelling stop in a natural fairy-tale style glen.

It's also an easy place to get comfortable: on top of modern loos, baby changing and disabled access block, there are also a family café and several picnic sites plus 3 on site BBQs for hire! So you can make lunch as rustic or extravagant as you fancy.
