ENCHANTED GARDEN TRAIL

Discover a world of cute and colourful homes where all kinds of characters live in quiet harmony. This 45 minute activity trail is designed for families with children and is an exciting way to explore a secret garden where imagination knows no end!

A Secret Garden of Fairies

Use your illustrated guide to find the clues that will lead you to seek out all that is hidden within the Earl’s Garden. You’ll see fairies that make houses from all kinds of things they find in the woods. Imagination and a little magic can recycle everyday things into unique homes – like teapots, watering cans, boots and books!

Where the Pixies live

Can you find all six Pixies? They live in Acorn Cottage, Pixie Hat Palace, Leaf Top Mansion, Tree Top Shack, Trunk Towers and Oak Log Cottage!

Meet the Christmas Elves

See if you can find a friendly Elf to help with jobs that would take much longer if you have to do them by yourself. With your imagination and a little Elf magic too, it really is amazing what a helpful Elf can do!
