Feel Good Forest Trail at Beechenhurst
Connect with nature and feel good
Whether you're in England or the Amazon of South America, forests are amazing places.
We've been working with WWF to create a seasonal, interactive family-friendly trail that provides an exciting way to get your daily dose of nature, no matter what the weather. Embrace the crisp air and crunch through golden autumn leaves whilst learning about the great outdoors at the same time.
What to expect on the trail
Themed panels along the trail are designed to spark curiosity and imagination, complete with fun activities to help children explore the wonders of England's forests and compare them to the Amazon rainforest. Enjoy the sounds of the seasons, discover what wildlife get up to during the cold winter months, and be surprised by the hidden wonders awaiting you in the forest.
You can also download our free Feel Good Forest activity pack before you visit.
