Spooky Magic Trail at Danbury Country Park
Head to an Essex Country Park this October half term and pick up or download a free Spooky Magic Trail sheet.
Watch out! Witches, werewolves and magical creatures are lurking in the park. Count them as you go, uncover the hidden magic letters, and help the rangers create a spell to send them on their way.
Pick up or download a free Spooky Magic Trail sheet from Saturday 17 October until Sunday 1 November and have some wonderfully wicked fun this Halloween.
- FREE trail sheets will be available to pick up from the rangers hut (near the lakes car park) - whilst stocks last!
- You can also download the trail as a PDF to your phone or print it
- Download our FREE Autumn and Winter Spotter's Guide to bring with you too!
When you've completed the trail, count up your answers and send them in to enter our prize draw to WIN a goody bag and Explorer Pass (worth £85).
Dress up in your favourite costume and have an enchanting time!
