Combine this with a timed race around our mini assault course where you can practise your climbing, swinging and balancing skills on the various obstacles on offer. Suitable for children from 5-12 years. Children’s Play Area A huge wooden galleon, the ‘Indefatigable’ named after the estates original owner Admiral Pellew’s most famous ship is perfect for budding sailors amongst us, the ship is a great place to make believe and provides lots of fun with climbing walls, slide poles and rope ladders. We also have two large trampolines, swings and a climbing frame with slide providing hours of fun allowing you to relax on a bench and enjoy the spectacular views across our Lily lakes and national parkland scenery. Quentin Blake inspired Green Ship Sailing on the banks of the Lily Lake is a wooden replica of Quentin Blake’s Green Ship. Below our bee garden and assault course this ship is located within a short walk of our café and children are invited to climb and explore on it’s life size deck. The vision for the ship is as a garden with planting plans including aromatic herbs and shrubs which along with other greenery will make a fabulous natural playground for children and adults to enjoy. Bee Garden Canonteign Falls provides the perfect environment to sustain and promote a healthy colony of bees. No artificial fertilisers are used on our land allowing wild flowers, particularly clover to thrive. There are now 6 working hives in the Canonteign bee garden itself alongside. Four of the hives are National hives and two horizontal topbar hives. The locations of the hives has been planned to allow our bees flowers to forage March through to October. Early forage such as willow and crocus means the bees can start raising their young on the collected pollen and nectar. Plants that flower late into the autumn such as ivy and gorse mean that they can ensure their honey stores are stocked up ready for a winter inside the hive. The bee garden includes native wildflowers such as ox-eye daisy and musk mallow, culinary and medicinal herbs such as thyme and mint, climbing plants like hops and honeysuckle, as well as a sea of bee-friendly flowers like phacelia, borage, geranium and roses.The garden is a calm haven, with the gentle sound of buzzing bees throughout the pretty orchard which is home to ancient varieties of apple tree.
