Let little adventurers loose in The Plotters' Forest
Tucked inside a Christmas tree plantation at Raby Castle, The Plotters' Forest is outdoor play with a proper sense of adventure. Children can climb through towers, cross walkways, crawl through tunnels, whoosh down slides and follow forest trails designed to get imaginations moving.
There are plenty of playful details to discover too, from musical instruments and talking tubes to mirrors, signposts and toddler-friendly play areas for smaller explorers.
Explore the gardens, parkland and wildlife
After playtime, stretch your legs across the wider Raby Estate. The 5-acre Walled Gardens are full of colour, shaped views and peaceful corners, while the Deer Park gives families space to wander through open scenery and look out for red and fallow deer.
