Painshill

On the 19th September we went to Painshill Park, it was full of big trees and plants. To enter we want across a really cool bridge.

When collecting our tickets, guidebook and map, I was also given a Duck Hunt Challenge. I had to find a Swan, Mallard, Canada Goose, Tufted Duck, Egyptian Goose, Great Crested Grebe, Greylag Goose Cormorant, Heron and Coot.

There was a choice of following the red or blue route, we took the red route, which started by passing a huge tree stump that I climbed with my sister.

The Vineyard – Is a big field full of grape vines. The vineyard was on a slope that went down to an ornamental lake.

Gothic Tower – We could see the Five Arch Bridge from the Gothic Tower. The roof was very pretty.

The Crystal Grotto – According to mythology, grottoes were portals to other worlds and the home of the nymphs, which are fairy spirits that look after nature.

Five Arch Bridge – Has five arches, as you would expect. It was where we changed routes to the Blue route.

The Giant Cedar Tree – There were lots of cedar trees, but I found the biggest one. I spotted it from the Gothic Tower. I like Cedar Trees, because I’m in Cedar class at school

At the end of the route, Me and Mummy raced back to the shop for a yummy Cream Tea.

We had a lovely day, I would recommend Painshill to anyone who asked 🙂
