Hide & Secrets is Burghley's awesome woodland adventure play area, themed around William Cecil as the country's first Chief Spymaster. Enter through a hidden stone arch into a magical setting featuring the Hidden Towers play structure with multi-level play, climbing walls, wobbly walkways, lookout nests, two enormous slides, a rope bridge across a deep craggy gorge, whispering funnels, code cracking games and secret tunnels.
The adventure play area is set within the beautiful Capability Brown parkland of Burghley House. Refuel at The Muddy Mole cafe nearby. Pick up a free Spymaster's Guide activity booklet on arrival.
Advance booking recommended. Prices: Adult £11.00, Child £8.50, Family £35.00 (Standard). Summer savings available between 25 June and 1 September.
Hide & Secrets Adventure Play open daily 10am-5pm. Parkland open daily 7am-8pm (or dusk if earlier).
