We had the BEST day out at Cliveden yesterday and honestly, it reminded me exactly why we’ve been National Trust members for 15 years 🤍 Their brand new trail has just opened (running until 5th July) and it’s such a fun one for little adventurers - packed with interactive stations, games for the kids, and brilliant QR codes you can scan to create your own *We’re Going on a Bear Hunt* character photos 📸🐾 We swished through the long wavy grass, squelched through the thick oozy mud, and followed the trail all the way to the grand finale… a GIANT bear at the last stop - safe to say my boys absolutely loved it 🐻💛 Also… do not leave without trying the ice cream 🍦 The honeycomb flavour was hands down one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had… I’m still thinking about it 😍 Cliveden will always be one of our favourite National Trust spots - from the seasonal trails, woodland walks, amazing park, maze and boating, there’s just so much to do. I even heard yesterday that it would take over 3 days to explore the whole grounds… and honestly, I believe it! Highly recommend adding this one to your summer list ☀️ *We’re not scared…* (although leaving without another honeycomb ice cream was pretty scary 😅) Trail maps are free, normal admission applies. PR visit ✨🐻🍦 #Cliveden #NationalTrust #FamilyDaysOut #WereGoingOnABearHunt DaysOutWithKids BuckinghamshireMums FamilyAdventure NationalTrustDaysOut UKDaysOut PRVisit

✨ A very special visitor has arrived at Cliveden… 🐻 Shhh… something exciting has been happening behind the scenes. The team at @bakehousefactory have been busy around the gardens and waking up a very important guest from hibernation for our We’re Going on a Bear Hunt family trail. The bear is waiting for you to come and find them… 🐾🌿 The trail is running from Saturday 9 May – Sunday 5 July.

After HUGE success in Easter 2025, the UK’s largest Easter Egg rolled back to @mymerryhill for 9 days of EGGstra special Easter fun! 🐣✨ Enjoyed by over 21,000 visitors and standing at an impressive 5 metres tall, our Giant Egg returned with a bold new look – only this time it was EGGS-perimental!
