The Winter Trail at Discovery Land

Families follow trail guardians Fern, Timber, and Pebble through twelve festive stops across countryside and woodland. Visitors sing, play, and explore the outdoors while uncovering Grandmother Nature's Twelve Days of Christmas song. The route passes lakeside scenery and play areas, with seasonal marshmallow toasting available at the café.

Tips & Advice

  • Book online before you go, since entry on the door depends on availability and online tickets cost less than paying on the day.
  • Create an account when you book, because it's the only way to move your tickets to another date for free, and tickets can't be refunded.
  • Allow at least two to three hours for the 12 stops, and arrive well before last entry so you can take the trail at your own pace.
  • Wear sturdy footwear and wrap up for the woodland, meadows and lakeside, as the natural ground is hilly and bumpy in places.
  • Visit on a peak date if you want the Loggoland refreshments hut halfway round, since it only opens on peak days.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Off-peak tickets for term-time Tuesdays to Fridays cost less than weekend and school-holiday visits.
  • Under-2s go free, and children with disabilities can bring one carer free per paying child ticket.
