This was a fantastic outing with my girls and guys. Groombridge Place has a lot to offer so here are some of the things we go up to there.
Birds of Prey.
At set times they give a talk on the different types of birds they have at Groombridge and they have a flying display to show them all in action. The types of birds they have there are eagles, hawks, owls and falcons.
The Dark Walk.
This is like an assault course which is nearly a quarter of a mile in length. It offers a choice of walking or activites or challenges such as rope swings, scrambling nets, a swinging log walk, balancing rails, hanging tyres, tunnels and an aerial runway. The boys seemed to enjoy this more than the girls as we mostly did the walking unless the activity look like fun. =]
The Swing Walk.
Now these swings were really scarey and the went really high. They hung off of a branch of a really tall tree on a really long piece of rope. Even the smallest of pushes on them would send you sky high.
Unusual Animals.
Amongst many animals there we saw a Zeedonk which is a cross between a Zebra and a Donkey, he is one of the only two in Britian. there are also giant rabbits which as adults can grow up to 60cm in height and alpacas which look like sheep with long necks.
There are also lots of other things to see deep within the forest for example The Serpents Lair, The Mystic Pool and The Blue Pool, The Dinossaur and Dragon Valley and many others.
Away from the forest are beautiful gardens which is where Pride and Prejudice was filmed an a vineyard (where we just had to try some of the grapes)
I had such a fantastic day here not only is it great for children it is great for adults of any age to as there is so much varity to see and do. It is a really big place so to be able to see it all you would need to spend a whole day here so remember to bring a pic-nic.
