Family fun at the Swannery 🦢💚

Alongside the adorable cygnets at this time of year, there are plenty of family activities that visitors love. Enjoy the Brambly Hedge Official Trail, complete with a dressing-up area, a mountain to climb, and stamp points to collect along the way.

And don't forget the pedal go-karts (weather permitting) – always a firm favourite with little adventurers!

Wholesome fun, fresh air, and plenty to explore, all perfectly suited to the relaxed atmosphere of the Swannery.
