Thorndon Country Park is in Brentwood, Essex, and they had the fabulous idea to carve the Gruffalo and all his friends out of wood. Hidden amongst the trees, you can wander and find each creature tucked away...Mouse, Gruffalo, Owl, Fox and Gruffalo's Child. Snake is underway too and will be joining them soon!
There is no entrance fee but you do need to pay for car parking. The children can pick up a free trail map, and maps of the park are 50 pence.
The creatures are nicely spaced out so it takes the kids a while to find them while you can enjoy the beauty of the wood!
My kids adore the Gruffalo, and we had a ball on our visit. There is a gift shop and refreshments are available, although we didn't try them.
A definite must if you are ever in the area.

Looks fantastic!
It really is Louise - if you get the chance to check it out, you should!
Definitely worth a visit for anyone passing by. My eldest loves the gruffalo and luckily we're close enough that we have already been three times since its arrived. Snake is there now and even my youngest (8 months) enjoyed our visit today x
Oooh, we may have to take another visit there over summer to see Snake now! Thanks Lauren.
May just go for this as looks so ace x
