The Floor is Lava at Zebon Copse Play Area, near Fleet
Zebon Copse Play Area has the longest and most involved obstacle course we have seen – ideal for playing the floor is lava! It also has plenty of nature nearby – both the Zebon Copse Nature Reserve and the beautiful Basingstoke Canal are just a short walk away.

A Circular Walk Along the Basingstoke Canal
If you keep walking past the adventure play area, through the trees, you will come to a little hill
with views from the top (currently of a housing development construction site – so don’t expect tranquility) and a seat.
Continue walking over the hill and down the other side and you come to a little road. Turn right and the Basingstoke Canal is just a short walk away.
Turn right along the canal and keep walking until you come to the swing bridge.
Cross the bridge and you pick up the main path through Zebon Copse Nature Reserve.
Zebon Copse Nature Reserve
From here, you can either go straight back to the car park and play areas by following the main path into the nature reserve and taking the first right.
Alternatively, you can take the first left, which leads you over the nature reserve’s wild-feel boardwalk.
This stretch of boardwalk is a loop that explores the pond and mire
before finishing back on the main path between the bridge and the play area car park.
There are maps on boards along the way to guide your walk.
