The witch had a cat and a very tall hat

Angler's Country Park has a very special themed trail centred around the bestselling children's book 'Room and the Broom'. The trail itself is a permanent fixture and it is free to do. Children get to see the characters of the book come to life and it provides a fun outdoor experience for all the family!



Activity packs can be purchased for £2 from the visitor centre. The visitor centre is open Tuesday to Sunday 11:00am to 4:00pm (April to October) and 10:30am to 3:30am (October to March. The packs will keep you entertained along the way with fun activities for you to do. This includes finding sculptures, looking for footprints and doing trace rubbings.



The trail is a circular route around the lake and is accessible by foot, cycle, buggy or wheelchair. As you walk along the path you will come face to face with a range of sculptures from 'The Room on the Broom'. The witch, cat, dog, bird, frog and the terrifying dragon are all ready and waiting to be found. Seeing the wooden carvings really helped bring the book to life and it is a fun day out.





Angler's Country Park is a spectacular backdrop for the trail and has so much going on. It has been awarded Green Flag status in recognition of it being one of the best parks in the country. They have bike hire available for £3 an hour here, which makes it a great way to explore and enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace. They even have an adventure playground and a picnic area here so lots to do for children of all ages.
