With miles of woodland trails and a garden overlooking the water, Dudmaston is a great place for families to spend time together in nature.

Comer Woods, on the Dudmaston Estate, is just 1.5 miles from Dudmaston’s main entrance. The 3.5km Explorer trail is a great route for families and less confident cyclists to ride together in beautiful, traffic-free surroundings.

Alexandra Blakeman, Marketing and Events Officer at Dudmaston said: “Nature provides so many wonderful materials for play at this time of year. Use our suggestions, together with your imagination, to create your own autumn adventures.
Go for a run or a bike ride in the woods or slow it down and simply enjoy being together in nature. There are plenty of places on the estate to play, pause and take a well-earned breather.”

The park, garden, galleries and tea-room are open at Dudmaston. To visit during Half term booking entry tickets in advance via nationaltrust.org.uk/dudmaston or by calling the central box office on 03442 2491895 is recommended.
