The beautiful Forde Abbey & Gardens is well known for its outstanding beauty, and it is a lovely place to visit for a family day out. The Abbey and gardens are located near Chard, a market town on the Somerset & Dorset border.
As well as enjoying the scenery, you can share a picnic in the grounds and the children can enjoy the activities offered in the childrens pack available from the shop including a children’s guide to the house, an activity sheet for younger visitors and letterboxing at Forde Abbey where little ones can follow the trail around the garden to find the hidden boxes and stamps to mark the trail map.
Keep an eye on their website for details on events such as the Summer fair, free giant games, and Autumn colours week where you can get a leaf rubbing pack available from the shop.
