Autumn Challenge
Autumn has arrived and the parks are brimming with colour. Can you find 5 or more of these seasonal sights on your next trip to one of our country parks?
We’ve created an Autumn challenge to encourage you to get exploring. Can you find 5 or more of these seasonal things on your next visit to one of our Country parks?
Collect leaves in an array of colours, enjoy a conker fight, keep your eyes peeled for a squirrel, see if you can spot a duck by the lake and look out for brightly coloured berries on the bushes or mushrooms on the ground. (Please be careful not to touch the mushrooms and berries).
Find out more here.
If you're looking for Halloween themed fun, check out our Belhus Woods Spooky Bat Hunt Trail and Spooky Fun Pumpkin Colouring Sheet.
