To celebrate the Gruffalo’s 15th (15 years??!! How old do I feel) anniversary, there are 15 wooden Gruffalo statues in forests around the UK. We are all huge Gruffalo fans (especially me…yes, I know!) so this sounded too good to pass up.
We arrived around 10.30am on a Saturday morning and parked really easily which I was shocked about. Parking is £3 and you can stay all day and lots of shady places to park away from the sun so you don’t go back to an oven of a car!
As you walk to the trail, there is a large play area for older children. It’s all enclosed so they can’t run off. Charlie LOVED it and we spent around 10 minutes playing on there before we went off to the trail – with some grumbles from Charlie as he wanted to carry on playing on the playground.
Having so much fun! |
A very rare photo of us all! |

She was more interested in the rice cake. Yes, I know, but we are somehow related… |
It looks a beautiful place, with gorgeous surroundings ideal for a family outing.
look like so much fun
£3 parking is really good. Would love to go on this hunt as it’s one of our favourite books.
This sounds so much fun. Not too bad a journey down the M42 from where my grandchildren live. I will have to put it on my list of places to take the children in the future.
looks like a fab day out. same as you I like leaving early for things like this too x
