SUMMER 2025 UPDATE

 


We have had a great Spring and Summer is also going well!

Our Axe Throwing Range has now had several schools using it and is proving very popular.


We have also had our first Coracle session on the pond which was also great fun:

The groups first of all have to build their coracles from pipes and plastic sheets and then relay them out to the 'Duck Island' and back. By the way - two parent ducks managed to rear 7 ducklings on this island earlier in the year!


The other thing that has been working really well is our new 'Railway Garden' behind the Games Room. When we have had two schools staying at the same time we have had them alternating having lunch up there to give them their own space and some alfresco dining.


We are very happy with the transformation we have created here from when it just had two old oil tanks that have now been removed. Fantastic work from our Caretaker Team - Mike, Pete & Phil!
