Adventure Park/Playground - Hoveton
Description
BeWILDerwood is a huge forest of wild and imaginative adventure park with magical treehouses and characters, bringing a curious difference to the Norfolk Broads.
Not only will you be able to find the regular wildlife of squirrels, rabbits and hedgehogs but also creatures such as Boggles, Twiggles, the Thornyclod Spider and vegetarian Crocklebogs!
An accompanying book, A Boggle at BeWILDerwood, gives children the chance to follow in the footsteps of the lead character Swampy, a 2ft Marsh Boggle with a taste for adventure.
BeWILDerwood features fantasy treehouses and aerial walkways through pine, fir, oak and sweet chestnut trees above unspoilt Norfolk Marshland.
High in the trees there are also miniature Twiggle villages. Attractions include the Broken Bridge where you have to walk over invisible glass 7 metres above the ground, the Wobbly Wires, a daring zip wire slide and the Slippery Slopes, not for the faint hearted. Entry to the park is by boat through the marshes, adding to the sense of fantasy and adventure.

Facilities
• Park Rangers on site: To help you find what you need, round up lost kids and ensure fair play throughout.
• First Aid facilities and safety cover: We know that accidents occasionally do happen. But like all good Cubs, Scouts and Beavers our Rangers are prepared, so you can rest easy and play your head off!
• Disabled access: We have a certain amount of disabled play equipment and facilities. Every effort has been made to allow reasonable access to the park, however the upper woodland area, whether the play structures are located, is naturally sloping and needs to be assessed as to individual needs.
