Denham Country Park is one of our favourite places to visit. During school holidays, they often run various activity sessions and trails for children.

River dipping at Denham Country Park

One of my happiest memories from the last summer we had with Jessica was watching her and Sophie play in the river at Denham Country Park with a friend. We’d brought a little pond dipping kit with us and Jessica had a go with it but we didn’t really find anything. I made a mental… Read More

Even as an adult, I can never quite resist the temptation when crossing a bridge over a stream to throw a stick in and watch it float downstream.     For a three-year old though, Poohsticks is… Read More

A winter treasure trail at Denham Country Park

01/01/201630/12/2015
