This is a great opportunity to explore the beautiful parkland and waterfall at Canonteign Falls with your two-legged and four-legged friends! There will be have-a-go dog agility and other fun games to enjoy before and after the walk, and walkers are welcome to explore the various landscapes, from the jungle-like tree ferns in the fern garden, the ancient woodland to the more open meadows, lakes and wetlands of the Lower Lakes. Children can explore the adventure playgrounds, complete with trampolines, wooden galleon, zip wire and mini assault course. There will also be a pop-up doggie market. So get your tickets and we look forward to seeing you there!
