Find Winnie the Pooh’s House at 100 Aker Wood, Elstree
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.
