Can you spot any snowdrops on your adventures? Look in the woodlands and on the riverbanks to catch sight of their nodding heads dancing in the breeze. Head through the deep dark Serpentine Tunnel, if you dare, to see the estate open up through the bare branches. If you visit late in the day, head to the water garden and take a look at the winter water reflections as the sun begins to set. Or climb up the High Ride and look over the open views as they gradually get darker.
There’re acres of space to run, jump and explore at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal but don’t forget to stop and refuel at the Visitor Centre Restaurant, Mill Café or Studley Tea Rooms. Enjoy a hot meal and a tasty treat before you set off on your adventure again or take your drinks away with you to keep you warm as you wander.
February half term at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal.
Head on a winter trail, every day during February half term, 10am – 4pm.
Become a winter explorer as you follow along the spotter sheet to see how many winter sights you can spot. Pick up your spotter sheet from any admission point and head on your adventure. Look up and get your head stuck in the clouds. If the rain decides to pour, put your wellies on and splash in some puddles. Challenge your family and friends to a game of pooh sticks on the different bridges through the estate. And head to the bird hide to spot some of our feathery friends. Why not have a go at ticking off more of your 50 things to do before you’re 11 ¾.Craft your own lavender pouch, every day during February half term, 11am – 2pm.
Come along and have a go at making a lavender pouch to take home with you. Keep it in a draw to make your clothes smell nice, tuck it into a pocket so you can smell lavender wherever you go or hold it in your hand to smell as you head on your adventure. We’ll provide the instructions and materials for this drop-in session all you have to do is turn up.
