A magical new woodland adventure park is opening soon and it’s just a short drive from Liverpool .
Bewilderwood, which will be based on the estate of the historic Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire , promises to ‘fire the imagination’ of families and let kids ‘run free and enjoy nature’. The attraction is already taking shape and will be the sister venue to the award-winning Bewilderwood in Norfolk, reports the Manchester Evening News
The park is described as ‘a wild and imaginative adventure park with magical treehouses and a cast of intriguing characters’, and will be around an hour's drive from Liverpool .
Bewilderwood is inspired by children’s book A Boggle at BeWILDerwood by author Tom Blofeld, with elements of the story found throughout the park.
The park in Norfolk has rope bridges, storytelling, face painting, arts and crafts and more for the kids to enjoy - and now its heading to Cheshire.
The 70-acre Cheshire park is due to open in the spring of 2020 and is expected to welcome around 300,000 visitors a year.
Unlike many family attractions, there are no noisy rides or electronics, and parents and grandparents are encouraged to play alongside the little ones.
Tom Blofeld, Bewilderwood creator and author, said: "From the beginning, we set out to be different to theme parks and be a smaller, more authentic and intimate experience and as it shows in our reviews, our visitors feel a real sense of ownership of the park because they have the chance to experience real play in nature.
Katrina Michel, former CEO of Marketing Cheshire, said: “A critical factor in rural tourism is distinctiveness and Bewilderwood offers something genuinely different – a healthy outdoor experience for young children and families which fires the imagination and allows children to run free and enjoy nature as well as becoming involved in a compelling story."
