Join us for a day out at Trentham Gardens (note there is an entrance fee). Over the past few years a million bulbs have been planted for the annual Spring bulbs festival creating an uplifting, immersive colourful experience, potentially also including daffodils and or bluebells. The walk will start with a 2 mile loop around the lake (easy walking suitable for trainers) and some time exploring the Italian Gardens along which 20,000 tulips were planted last year so we hope to see vibrant colour. After lunch (bring a packed lunch or enjoy the cafe) there is an option of a further 4 mile walk to a monument with great views and then through Kingswood. (The 4 mile loop is moderate graded with a steep ascent and requires walking boots). Alternatively why not indulge in some disc golf (included in the entrance ticket), take a boat trip on the lake (small extra charge), go on the narrow railway (small extra charge), shop in the shopping village which is well stocked with outdoor shops or even go on the big wheel!
The walk is a choice of 2 or 6 miles.
Entrance ticket for Trentham Gardens required. Entrance is around £15 on the day or £12.75 if booked online at least 48 hours in advance. Car parking is large and free. Meet at the main ticket desk. There are lots of toilets! These can be found in the carpark, at the main entrance, near the cafe at the top of the lake and at the bottom of the lake. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on short leads. Tiggy my Norwich Terrier will be in attendance.
Meet at the main entrance ticket office to Trentham Gardens. Look for Tiggy the brown and black Norwich Terrier.
