Rushmere Country Park

By Lily

One of my favourite things to do is climb trees and so I was very excited to try out a new place - Rushmere Country Park! A friend recommended it to my Mum as we’d never been before. They knew it really well and gave us lots of tips.

When we first got there, we found there was a cafe. If you went through the cafe, they had a bird watching area set up, we got to see baby birds in their nest.

There was also an area for ice creams, but we had to wait until after our walk for those!

First, we played in the big field, there were some small trees to climb and loads of sticks to use as a wizard’s staff! We went for a walk on the fairy trail and then my Mum took us on a really, long walk but it was lots of fun. There is a pretty lake where we saw lots of birds, ducks and squirrels. It was a long walk back up the hill after.

Back near the fairy doors were loads of trees for climbing and making dens. My brother climbed a tree and pretended to be a sloth! The fairy doors and tree climbing were my favourite parts of the day. It was like an adventure! I’ve already asked my Mum if we can go back soon.
