Trentham Gardens and Adventure Play - Western Pleasure Gardens

We endeavour to attract a broad audience to the garden and within the Western Pleasure Gardens you will discover a range of different experiences and different character areas that we hope will ‘engage’ all our visitors, including those with younger families.

Here you will find Britain’s only “Barfuss” (barefoot) walk. Experiencing nature, enjoying remedial care and just having fun are at the heart of the Trentham Barefoot Walk. For more Information Click Here

 

There is also the Adventure play and “JCB Young Drivers” course. For more information on this please click here

The Marie Curie “Field of Hope” is situated next to the Tea Rooms, which consists of 60,000 daffodils for a spring effect.  click here

The brand new “Hide and Speak” hedge maze has recently been introduced. Designed by our very own designer, Paul Legeckis, the Hide and Speak maze was completed for Easter 2008. On your way through the Hornbeam hedge maze you will discover special talking pipes through which you can communicate. The final destination is a tall grass mound with a spiral path leading you to the top for wonderful views across the maze and adjacent parkland where possibly you might be able to find a way of retracing your escape.
