We are lucky to live less than a 15 minute drive from Lickey Hills Country Park, a beautiful area south of Birmingham filled with trees and wildlife. Last weekend we headed over to the country park for an afternoon to have an “adventure” and enjoy the lovely weather.
Georgie loved playing and exploring in what she immediately called the “deep, dark, woods” and had a whale of a time chasing her Daddy and Lydia around while I wandered behind at a more sedate pace enjoying the scenery, and snapping away with my camera.
There was plenty of tree climbing, pine cone collecting, bum shuffling down hills, and lots and lots of running about having fun. We saw horses and super speedy mountain bikers, and finished off our “great adventure” with a visit to the play area, and a coffee in the cafe.
It was so lovely to get out into the countryside, which we are really not so very far from, despite living in a city, and have a good old fashioned dose of fresh air and exercise. A wonderful summer afternoon as a family, having fun.
It looks like a lovely place to visit. Nothing beats a trip into the forest #countrykids
Lovely photos of the children having a wonderful time exploring nature’s playground as well as the play park. How great to have such a lovely place to explore so near to your home. Thanks for linking up and sharing your family fun with Country Kids.
Looks like you had a great day out! I wish we had more accessible forests and things near by x
Looks like you have a fantastic park to visit nearby for lots of outdoors adventures with kids.
