I am a mother of two and I can guarantee how \u201cboring\u201d a visit to the neighbourhood park can get sometimes. However, if you really want your kids to enjoy in nature and some place that isn\u2019t far off that you will have to packs extra underpants and three meals, then keep reading.<\/p>\n

Just about an hour drive towards Kent<\/a> will take you to the Painshill Park, in Cobham Surrey,<\/a> which makes a wonderful family day out. With\u00a0158 acres\u00a0to explore and enjoy there is space to run around, climb trees and really get back to nature.<\/p>\n

We particularly enjoyed the entire walking trail as there were surprises at literally every turn through the trail. The kids were super excited for something new to look around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Painshill is an award-winning 18th\u00a0century landscape garden where you are invited to walk around a work of art. Stroll around the Serpentine Lake, wander through woodland and promenade past follies, including the Ruined Abbey, Gothic Temple and Turkish Tent.<\/p>\n

A Grade I listed landscape garden, Painshill was created between 1738 and 1773 by the Honourable\u00a0Charles Hamilton\u00a0after he was inspired by landscape painting. You can even download the audio tour to know more about the landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For families there is a natural play area and wildlife spotting trails as well as wildflower meadows in which to run around in and get back to nature. Dogs are very welcome too!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”]\n

Painshill Park has ample parking space so you can drive without a worry. As you enter, you are greeted with very friendly staff and one needs to buy a ticket to visit this park. You can even book your tickets online on their website or just walk-in and get one, like we did.<\/p>\n

This was an unplanned trip and we did not know what to expect. We had only imagined that it would be a small picnic in a park like we usually had. But all of us and not just the kids were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful Painshill Park turned out to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After getting the tickets we were shown the way to the park with brochures that had maps and other information about Painshill Park. As we entered the park we saw two walking trails- Blue and Red. One of them was a shorter route but our kids wanted to be adventurous and we took the longer trial and followed the brochure map to find all the things mentioned on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n
