If, like me, you have ever longed to adventure through 100 Aker Wood with Winnie the Pooh and his friends then consider visiting Aldenham Country Park.
You can find Piglet’s house, peek inside Pooh’s house, climb Wol’s tree, dig in Roo’s sandy pit, trap a heffalump, scramble over rocks and play poohsticks. If you are really lucky you may even meet Winnie the Pooh himself at Aldenham Country Park Farm.

Walking through 100 Aker Wood was magical, like walking through scenes from the Winnie-the-Pooh books and cartoons. 
We found Winnie the Pooh’s house 
Eeyore’s Gloomy Place
a bridge to play Poohsticks
Wol’s tree 
Roo’s Sandy Pit 
Rabbit’s house 
a heffalump trap
and a bee tree. 
There is a map of 100 Aker Wood that shows the places you can find on the Aldenham Country Park website. 
The Country Park itself is full of things to do, including orienteering and cycling trails 
mini golf and trampolines
a lake and nature trails. 
On Aldenham Country Park Farm, a route leads you past farm animals, including cows and pigs
goats, donkeys and ducks. 
It also has various tractors to ride
and an area where you can pay a little extra and meet some smaller animals, like rabbits, guinea pigs and giant snails. 
We even spotted Winnie the Pooh!
The Adventure Play Area Some sessions are exclusively for children with special needs. 
This fabulous Aldenham Country Park Adventure Play Area has wooden play equipment, including a zip wire, sand play areas
and a water play area complete with a water pump.
At the time of writing, you must book to use the play area and there was a charge of £3.
