Whether a little adventurer eager to run amok in the Timber Tumbles playground, or a grown-up looking to explore the 80 acres of woodland trails, there’s something for everyone at Discovery Park. Adrenaline junkies will adore the Tree Top Walk Adventure and Climbing Wall, while those in need of a relaxing hour will have fun boating on the scenic lake. You can have a go at fishing, get your hands dirty making pottery, or even learn about history in a fabulous interactive coal mining exhibition. Pre-booking is essential for the bigger activities. If you simply fancy a stroll through the park, admission is free.
