Active holiday ideas for energetic families

Whether you’re a family or couple which enjoys everything the great outdoors has to offer, the Surrey countryside is the ideal playground with something for energetic adults and children alike.

There is so much to see and do during your stay in our eco-friendly yurts and bell tents that you may find yourself feeling a little spoilt for choice. If you only have a limited amount of time but don’t want to miss out, we’ve rounded up some of the more popular activities ideal for the outdoor-loving visitor. These suggestions are gleaned from our previous guests and are guaranteed to allow you to enjoy the fresh air and some exciting new experiences together.

 Give your map-reading skills a whirl

When was the last time you used a map to find your destination? 

With technology almost doing away with the need to know how to read a map, you might find that it’s something you have forgotten or never learnt to do. Come and rediscover this skill in the beautiful Surrey countryside.

With several beautiful walking routes just outside your yurt waiting to be discovered, take the road less travelled and see where your map reading skills will take you

Meet some heavy horses

If you and the family love animals, don’t miss your chance to meet some heavy horsey friends with a cart ride through the wildlife-filled woods to a quintessentially English country pub for a relaxing spot of lunch.

With each cart accommodating 6 or 12 people, there is plenty of room for families of all sizes.

 Peddle Power

As we are located within an area of outstanding natural beauty, cycling is a popular pastime with visitors and locals alike. Ask us for route recommendations and we’ll be happy to point you in the direction of a trail suitable for your family’s ages and abilities.

 Take a nature walk

Wonderful wooded areas, meadows filled with wildflowers and incredible views are just tasters of what the Surrey countryside has to offer. Why not take a nature walk with your family or that special someone and reconnect with Mother Nature?

Known for its abundance of wildlife and birds, see how many species you can spot as you take the pace down a few notches and relax back into the wonderful scenery that surrounds our glamping accommodation.
