Leighton-Linslade Childrens’ Trail
We spent a magical morning following the Children’s Trail
past old buildings, up winding mews and along busy streets.
Parson’s Close Play Area and Splash Pad
You arrive at Parson’s Close Recreation Ground towards the end of the story trail.
The large playground has towers, slides, nets, swings and a huge multiplay. There is also a sandy play area
and a super splash pad with jets of water.
Rushmere Country Park
If you would like to continue the story trail theme then visit Rushmere Country Park for some fairy tale fun in the forest.
