Manley Mere Adventure Trail meanders through woodland, alongside a stream with obstacles and challenges on the way...it's a great way of having fun and spending quality time with the children:
  • All equipment is self-propelled and cleverly fits into the surroundings. It is a country walk as well as an adventure so there is always an easy way around - just walk past!
  • Wherever possible obstacles are made from recycled material and re-used agricltural equipment - see if you can guess what things were in a previous life!
  • The trail is suitable for children of all ages - from 1yr to 100 year olds. Dogs are welcome - just keep them on a lead & clear up after them.
  • Age 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
  • £7.50 per person per day - trail entrance, £2.00 car parking per day (machine takes coins)
  • Plase pay at the shop BEFORE you start. Eveyone pays except under 4's.
  • The trail is about 1 1/2 miles long. Tickets are valid until 6pm, when the centre closes. There is no set route - discovering hidden things is part of the fun!
  • There are changing rooms (a change of clothes is advised!) and a cold water hose to get any mud off hands & face before getting into your car, or going into the Chameleon Bar & Restaurant! 
  • You are welcome to bring a picnic, however, picnics are not allowed in the restaurant, outside restaurant area or the school room (ie consider the weather!). There are picnic tables available to use.

You will need:
Wellies, comfortable walking shoes or boots.
Old clothes - mud guaranteed (a change of clothes is advisable)
Warm jacket if it's cold or sun hat if it's hot.

Cross the stream on a rope swing...
Great for team-building or families wanting 
a fun day outdoors.

The rolling bridge may surprise you...
    Another bridge wobbles as you walk.
        Have you ever seen a three man seesaw?
                 Been dunked on a dunking chair?
                       Spun on a giant hamster wheel?



Birdlife is in abundance with a large variety
of water birds, wild geese and ducks as well
as woodland birds.
You may also spot a rabbit,
and if you're quiet ..... a fox or even a badger.






On the trail you will see oak, ash, lime, horse chestnut, maple, willow and alder trees. In spring look out for the wild garlic flowering along the banks of the stream - you'll probably smell it before you see it!! There is lots to learn about nature while having fun on the trail.

Seating indoors or outdoors with lovely lake views.
