Make the Most of Summer: Top Outdoor Activities at Cofton
- Discover Our New Forest School
We’re thrilled to launch our brand new Forest School, designed to help kids (and big kids at heart!) reconnect with nature. Led by our experienced outdoor leader, Forest School sessions include natural crafts, den building, wildlife spotting, and campfire stories with treats. It’s a fantastic way for children to build confidence, learn new skills, and make friends.
