Spooky Trail at Great Notley Country Park

Head to an Essex Country Park this October half term and pick up or download a free Spooky Trail sheet supported by the Essex Year of Numbers.

Watch out! There’s some spooky characters and curious creatures lurking in our park. Can you find and count them to help our rangers complete the spell to send the creepy characters home?

Pick up or download a free Spooky Trail sheet from Saturday 18 October until Sunday 2 November and have some spooktacular fun this Halloween.

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 a terror-ific time!

This trail is supported by the Essex Year of Numbers.
