This place was simply amazing!!! My mother in law had cut out an advert for it from a local paper and we had never heard of it before! A real gem of a place.

It sits in a country estate and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. We booked in advance as advised on the advert and for four adults and three kids (one was a baby) it cost just under £50. It was worth every penny.

At first you meet the Ent carving...you could call it the Ent-tree as it points to the start of the adventure! Then you are met with something out of a fairy tale. Magical and scary and mindboggling! Its enchanting and silly!

It was not pram freindly but there was plenty of us there to get along as best we could. Eventually stopping in one place with the pram and allowing the other members of the group we were in to go off and explore while someone stopped with the baby. I particularly loved the watery fun and my husband loved the tunnels. The place must have cost a fortune to design and create!

The picnic area as well as all the other parts were clean and tidy, the ducks were well mannered too as we scoffed our picnic at the end. Our only sorrow was that we had to get back and despite being there for 3 hours we probably saw only 60% of the wonders!

What made this place even more special was the social aspect! People of all ages were helping each other and laughing with each other at the wonders around them. I really want to return very soon. My children were a bit feart of the tunnels but there was kids running round younger than them enjoying the expereince. Theres enough to see and do above ground anyway if they dont want to go in.

We will definately go back. When you think about the cost of taking the kids to the cinema these days then this place is value for money by a long chalk!

I recall saying "Wow" a lot!
