An outdoor family trail around RHS Garden Bridgewater based on The Wind in the Willows, with Mr Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger appearing in the original book's illustrations along the route. Children find activities and games as they go, so it's a gentle way to get younger ones round the garden. It's included with garden entry, and under-5s go free.
