We'd been to Bewilderwood before, in 2008, when we were on our first ever camping trip. So it was about time we went back for another visit.
Bewilderwood is an eco-friendly children's adventure park. There are no big rides, but there are walkways, rope bridges, slides and zipwires aplenty. The place is the inspiration for the books by Tom Blofeld, which - according to Sam - are "the best books I've ever read!". High praise.
We had a great time at Bewilderwood. Here's Sam on the way out of the maze.
If you're looking for a full day's entertainment then this isn't the place to go. We explored the park, thoroughly, twice, and left after four hours. But what great fun! This is the 25 metre slide, wide enough for three people to race down. I beat Sam every time!
One of the best parts of Bewilderwood is the den building area. No technology. No screens. No coin slots. Just the chance to get interactive with trees, branches and the ground, in the building of dens. Excellent fun! We started with a couple of cross frames and a cross bar.
Sam flexed his muscles to gather suitable timber.
In short time we'd built a bijou shelter for one child!
There was a hiatus as Sam spoke to his mum.
We did consider claiming this beauty for our own....but that would be naughty.
Bewilderwood is fun. It's even better if the books are read before your visit - the different parts of the park take on richer meaning.
Alton Towers it's not. But as a fabulous place for your children to have down to earth, wholesome fun it's outstanding. If slightly over-priced.

Zerlina is having her belated birthday party there on Saturday. Even with a staff discount, it's pretty expensive, according to Eloise!
