What Can I Find In AdventureWoods?

Awbury’s AdventureWoods was inspired by sketches from Studio Bryan Hanes and the built-in Awbury’s Secret Garden in 2017.

It contains two distinct natural playscapes:

  • The Willows features fairy tables, willow circles, and a log playhouse.
  • The Woodlot features large logs made from felled trees from Awbury Arboretum and is used for playing, building, climbing, and sitting.
