Bluewater’s Nature Trail with The Very Hungry Caterpillar™.
We love the Bluewater’s Nature Trail with The Very Hungry Caterpillar™. It’s just such an excellent activity for all ages.
We’ve been a few times, but it doesn’t get old. We’ve been during three different seasons, and we still love it.
You kick off the trial outside Zizi’s. There are 17 signs to follow. If you get confused, just follow the large green spots on the ground. You’ll discover the lakes, play areas, bug hotels, stepping logs and hopscotch on your route! There are plenty of ducks and geese to see too.
You will also discover an incredible, giant wooden sculpture of The Very Hungry Caterpillar crafted by local sculptor Steven Porchmouth.
The play area is now open too. Here you’ll also find a super cool spider climbing frame. This is great to add some physical activity in the mix.
The Nature Trail leaflets are not available to pick up in Bluewater. You can download and print this on the Bluewater website BEFORE you arrive. It’s not compulsory to enjoy the trail if I’m honest. But it’s great for older ones because of the quiz and of course the map.
