Sherborne Park Estate (Gloucestershire)
Sherborne Park Estate is an ideal Family Fun walk, and is only a 15min drive from Bourton on the Water.
The walk is approx 2.5miles long and takes roughly 1.5hrs to complete.
It takes in lovely views over Sherborne Brook and the Cotswold Valleys. The walk includes exquisite woodland with some magical sculptures.
The children will love hunting for the next woodland sculpture and even the Ice house.
There is a lovely tea room in the village of Sherborne, if you would like to stop for a cup of tea and cream cake.Maybe take a picnic and enjoy the views whilst eating sandwiches the children have helped you make.
Remember to pack your wellies as it can get a little bit muddy which adds to the Fun!!!
