Night Hiking – Connect with the woods

Just after darkness falls we begin our hike through the woods. To get the full experience we walk without torch light, allowing our eyes to eventually adjust to the night. Following small uneven paths that take us into the heart of the forest.

At the end is the opportunity for each child to walk a short section of the route alone, again without light. Afterwards we return to the castle along a moon light path to the glow of a torch where we bring the evening to a close with a few songs to the tune of a guitar or a good-night-story.

For groups looking to organise their own night hike we have a selection of route cards for you and are happy to advise you which routes may be best suited to your group.
