Acting as a huge adventure playground, the waterside paths, freshwater lakes and mature woodland that surround the development are ideal for children of all ages to appreciate, creating the perfect place to explore, discover and exercise. There are also children’s play areas including one for young children and another for older children which will open soon with traditional play equipment. A new trim trail is also opening in the Summer for everyone to enjoy. For the over 12’s, Nemes Dive & Watersports Academy offers a rare opportunity to enjoy diving and kayaking on your doorstep. Junior triathletes are also able to swim in the open water around the triathlon circuit once they have passed a swim assessment.

Families can enjoy an array of local attractions during the holidays as there is a huge array of nearby theme parks, animal farms, soft play centres and historical attractions to visit and explore. These include the Hop Farm Family Park, Dickens World, Port Lympe and Howletts Wild Animal Parks, Leeds Castle and Kent Life.
