Explore the historic landscape
Painshill is 160 acres of amazing 18th century gardens with follies and garden buildings to discover including the sparkling Crystal Grotto. There are ancient woodlands to explore, wildlife to discover and wetland birds to spot on our beautiful lake.

- Trail maps to find as many species of wildlife: butterflies, ducks, trees (depending on the time of year)
- Nature Detectives work booklet, to help the children engage with their surroundings all year round.
