Fly down two exciting zip-wires each spanning an impressive 30 metres in length. Explore two embankment slides, one a 12-metre tunnel slide and the other an eight-metre-long open slide placed on platform towers, connected with a fun rope bridge. Be the King, or Queen, of the Castle in the brand new large wooden fort. Swing until your heart is content on the cross-scales and tyre swing or start your own band with the musical instruments. All set against the majestic backdrop of Bowhill Country Estate. Kids of all ages can amuse themselves here for hours, with way-marked walks, the Old Kitchen Cafe, Soft Play and Victorian Kitchen also available on the estate.
