The forest school is along a scenic 1.4km nature trail and is located approx. 10mins walk from the main car park. The forest school Ballynahinch is located in a dense beech tree woodland and has two tiers. The upper tier is covered by a large tent canopy and is all weather. The lower tier has a campfire area and a short trail down to a small pond for fishing out swimming wildlife.

Each session is 2hrs long. Parents and kids will be met at our car park by the forest leader and taken to the forest school. At the end of the session the group will make their way to our coffee trailer via our scenic trail for a free hot chocolate for the kids. Parents can purchase hot or cold drinks and traybakes. Then back to the car park.

Lovely morning in nature - I booked my daughter (nearly 4) in for a forest school session in June and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Firstly I would like to say I was disappointed that she was the only one there on our day however, that was from no fault of the companies. The upside to there being cancellations was that my daughter got to potter around and get a feel for the place herself and being autistic sometimes the first visit to a new place is better done when quiet and at her own pace. We had David as our teacher and he was very good with my little one, she can't wait for her next session to see the man who helped her make fairy fire with a real dragons tooth and gave her a wasp cocoon that's she's been guarding ever so carefully! I learned a lot myself which I doubt would have happened if he was focused on lots of little ones so I'm thankful for those nuggets of information. We have booked in again for the end of the month and then every week of July, I can't wait to see what else is on the cards. At the end of your session you walk back to the car park on the scenic trail where you can stop off at the coffee trailer for a coffee or a hot chocolate and to feed the alpacas (bring £1 change for the food machine). Also, keep an eye out for the fairy doors on your way and make sure to stomp over the bridges to ward off any trolls that may be hiding under them. Would thoroughly recommend, definitely worth the money and if you book a few sessions in a block you get a discount which is always a nice treat.

Family Trip - Both kids (six and three) had a great time. They loved making bubble wands and swinging in the hammocks. Though my wife needs more practice with the fire starting, everyone enjoyed msrshmallows at the end
