Get active in the outdoors at Moors Valley Country Park. Follow the Play Trail with unique wooden play structures - crawl through the belly of a snake, climb the Bewildernest and find your way through the Crocodile Crossing. Look out for the life-sized Gruffalo sculpture too!
The park is free to access, but some of the activities are chargeable - we can help advise which and how much to budget for your intended trip. There's a Go Ape centre with treetop adventure course, bike hire and narrow-gauge steam train.
There's 1000 acres of park and forest, with waymarked footpaths through woodland and meadows, alongside lakes and rivers as you go. Before you set off, download the 'Ranger in your pocket' audio app to discover what wildlife to look out for and listen for as you follow the route around Moors Lake.
