What it’s like
Ten acres of woodland climbing, towers and treetop walkways, with a fenced-off area for under 92cm children.
This is Tumblestone Hollow, ten acres of woodland adventure playground with treetop walkways and towers to climb up, over and through. Kids get properly stuck into it, and there's a fenced area just for under 92cm visitors with a sandpit, swings, water play and a slide, so smaller ones aren't dodging the bigger kids charging about.
It suits ages 3 to 12 well, and the site is clear that older children should look out for the smaller ones rather than barrel past them. Most people stay four hours, and plenty make a full day of it, which the price starts to justify once you're there. Tickets have to be booked online in advance, there's no paying on the day, and there are no refunds if plans change, which is a faff if you're at the mercy of the weather or a poorly toddler.
Food-wise you're covered without needing to bring a hamper: wood-fired pizzas from the Rumble Hut, gelato from the Jumble Hut, and Illy coffee and snacks from the Visitor Centre. You can bring your own picnic too, just not into the cafés themselves. Parking's free and included in the ticket price, which is a nice change from most adventure parks charging extra just to leave the car.
One thing worth knowing before you commit: adults without children aren't let in, this is a children's adventure playground first and foremost. The ground is uneven and hilly in places, so buggies and wheelchairs will find some spots a challenge, though parts of the site are manageable.
