LITTLE HECKFIELD EXPERIENCES
THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER BREAK, OUR ESTATE OFFERS PLENTY TO DO FOR ALL. THE MAGIC OF OUR OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND INSPIRES COUNTLESS WAYS TO MAKE MEMORIES – ALL FOSTERING A DEEPER CONNECTION WITH THE NATURAL WORLD.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITES…
WILD SWIMMING
The Lower Lake is a wonderful spot to go swimming. Take one of our waffle towels and head to the eastern end of the Lake where the water is deep and clear.
PICNICS
Adventure out on a mission to find your favourite spot for a relaxing afternoon.
Best paired with a bit of wild swimming and a relaxing lunch underneath the willows.
Tricycles and Bikes
You'll find tricycles at the front of the House - just ask if you'd like to borrow one. For older children, we have bicycles to explore the estate as well.
Boating on the Lower Lake
Take one of our rowing boats out onto the Lower Lake to enjoy the peace and calm of the nature of the Heckfield Estate.
Add a picnic and make a day of it.
FOR PARENTS
While the little ones keep busy in the safe and accredited hands of Sharky & George in August, the opportunity beckons for parents to enjoy time to themselves.
The morning stretches offer ample time to unwind in our adults-only
B O T H Y B Y W I L D S M I T H.
Or in the afternoon, enjoy a long lunch in our Green Michelin-starred
M A R L E or al fresco on the Italian Terrace.
And for those working on the go, the House provides plenty of quiet corners to work remotely while the family make the most of the summer holidays.
