Top Things to Do for Children

Kid’s Club

Offering a range of exciting and challenging activities, the Kid’s Club is the perfect way for children to enjoy the estate, blow off some steam or get creative and make new friends. Bookings must be made in advance.

Canoeing

There are countless ways to take to the water at the Lakes by yoo. Choose canoeing and you’ll see the wildlife and unique Cotswold reed beds up close. A leisurely paddle will take you past swans, tufted ducks, water voles, heron and all the other aquatic animals and birds that make the estate so special.

Zip Wiring

There’s little to rival the excitement of launching yourself into the abyss suspended on a single steel wire. Unless it’s watching your child do exactly the same thing for the first time seconds later. Take the family zip wiring and you’ll experience both sensations, as you and the kids soar in perfect safety.
