Follow our themed Character Trails

Essex Wildlife Trust has four themed Character Trails, located at our Nature Discovery Centres. Meet Peter Rabbit and friends at Langdon Nature Discovery Park, come close with The Gruffalo himself at Thorndon Countryside Park, greet Toad, Badger and friends at Hanningfield Nature Discovery Park or meet seven of the Brambly Hedge mice at Abberton Reservoir Nature Discovery Park. 

Purchase a map for £1 from the Nature Discovery Centre and start your trail, with wildlife quizzes and brass rubbings along the way.
