There was the wardrobe complete with wooden clothes inside. H was being pretty grumpy around now as she moans if she walks too much. After walking through the bluebell woods we hit a single track, a bit more foraging and a giant great big Aslan at the end! By then we were near the car park again on the big slope. The short er way would be to walk up the slope a fraction and turn at Aslan.
Walk through the bluebell woods and follow the track which goes diagonally across them, then train track and down. The Banstead Woods Narnia Trail is fun. The wood carvings are by Ella Tree Pirate. To visit Banstead Woods costs nothing, with free parking on Holly Lane in the big car park. Rumour has it that Anne Boleyn once owned Banstead Woods. Oh this looks great. My brother is not far from there so I will suggest it to him.
I think they should devise a few trails now to really make it great! Thanks for commenting! The trail sounds perfect for an afternoon out and a lovely change from the Gruffalo which is everywhere. Narnia is such an amazing story and really lends itself to a trail. I keep looking for new ideas for my Welly Walk.
I think a Narnia trail might just be the answer! H is rocking that Coombe Mill hat, I love seeing it in all your photos. Nice trail and it looks like thats less than an hour drive from Kensignton, so pinning it for our next daytrips! Thanks for sharing! Ooh love the carvings. I always think these themed trails are a great idea to keep kidmore interested in a walk countrykids. I love the lamp post and the Aslan sculpture. How lovely! The Narnia wardrobe with the wooden clothes inside sounds amazing, I can imagine it is a great place to explore, especially with children countrykids.
Love it when things like this pop up — especially with one of my favourite stories. We went today as it had been recommended and we are not that far away, I must say at this time of year it is definitely not buggy or push chair friendly, the mud just bogs you down, as an aside if you have children that would be problematic to take out of a push chair and put them in again turn back on the route after the wardrobe as the entrance gate to the meadow is not push chair friendly and I had to lift it over.
Apart from that the carvings are superb. Your email address will not be published. By using this form you agree with the storage and handling of your data by this website.
