About this activity
Are you excited to spend the day discovering over 400 acres of nature, exploring woodland, meadows and heathland all in the great outdoors? That's exactly what you'll enjoy at Rushmere Country Park!
Here, keep those eyes peeled to see those herons nesting in the spring from the care terrace, or discover fairy doors along the Sculpture Trail (bonus points for spotting the Giant's Chair!).
Rushmere Country Park is the perfect place to take the dogs for a walk, or take to the wheels and cycle along some country trails. There are even opportunities to ride your horse – they really have something for everyone!
Rushmere Country Park is managed by The Greensand Trust, so the park is run on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of visitors and wildlife alike!
Don't miss stopping at some of the play areas and play spots all around the park which are great for those energetic little ones!
A great first point of call is the Herons View Visitor Centre or Stockgrove Visitors Centre, plus you can fill up in the Tree Tops Restaurant and The Deck Herons Hatch for takeaway, or even enjoy some time in the meadow for picnics!
