Kids

The big attraction at this playground for kids aged up to 12 is the vast wooden pirate ship sailing a sea of sand. When childen tire of competing for control of the ship's wheel and escapades involving cabins, pulleys and ropes there are three teepees to provide inspiration for other imaginative games and delightful play sculptures hidden among the scented shrubs, willows and bamboos that make the place a treat for adults, too. The provision of loos, nappy-changing facilities and a cafe makes this a place where it's easy to hang out for hours. Time your visit carefully – the playground can get very busy at the weekend if the weather's fine.
