Explore the Gardens to learn about fungi, folklore and magic on this family friendly trail. Inspired by old legends told across Europe — of ghostly riders, howling hounds, and antlered spirits that charge through the forests and skies on stormy nights. The wildlings leave signs in nature behind them — like strange fungi or twisted branches — and only those who know the secrets of the woods can spot their trail… Journey into the heart of ancient folklore with our wildlings children’s trail. Discover the hidden symbols of the hunt and follow the enchanted path through the autumn woods. Inspired by traditional tales, this family-friendly adventure blends myth, nature, and magic. Discover the characters from the tales through mysterious signs and fungi folklore. Pick up your free trail sheet from Visitor Reception on arrival. Adventure awaits!
