Inside £5m Cheshire woodland adventure park BeWILDerwood with zip lines and mazes

A new £5m family attraction has finally opened in Cheshire.

The woodland adventure park was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic but the BeWILDerwood attraction has started to welcome visitors.

The site, located in the estate of the historic Cholmondeley Castle in south Cheshire, is the second of its kind.

The multi-million pound woodland attraction in Cheshire boasts treetop walkways, magical treehouses, huge slides, extra-long zip lines and multiple mazes as well as a raft of interactive storytelling adventures that is billed as a full day out for all the family, reports the MEN.

It follows the success of the award-winning Norfolk attraction, close to the Norfolk broads.

The parks are the setting of the children's book A Boggle at BeWILDerwood by author Tom Blofeld and known for avoiding loud rides and technology, promising to 'fire the imagination' of families by allowing children to 'run free and enjoy nature'.

It bills itself as 'a wild and imaginative adventure park with magical treehouses and a cast of intriguing characters' with the adventure brought to life by storytellers on the site.

Since tickets went on sale for the attraction last month there has been huge interest- with April already sold out and weekends in May selling fast - but there is still good availability for dates throughout the summer.

Tickets must be booked in advance online, with details here.

Tickets are based on height and cost £17.50 for kids between 92cm and 105cm, and £19.50 for people over 105cm.

Kids under 92cm go free, while people over the age of 65 cost £12.50.

You can arrive at any time on the day you have booked and stay as long as you like.

BeWILDerwood's owners believe the park has been of particular interest for families coming out of lockdown - as it is all outdoors on a huge site which means it will be much easier to maintain social distancing measures.
