- BallyBurren Outdoor Escapes - We offer an excellent forest school for young intrepid adventurers.
The forest school is along a scenic 1.4km nature trail and is located approx. 10mins walk from the main car park. The forest school Ballynahinch is located in a dense beech tree woodland and has two tiers. The upper tier is covered by a large tent canopy and is all weather. The lower tier has a campfire area and a short trail down to a small pond for fishing out swimming wildlife.
Our professionally run forest school is packed full of activities led by a trained forest leader.
Your child will be immersed in a dense woodland setting with lots of mini activities to promote fun learning and understanding about nature.
Each session is 2hrs long. Parents and kids will be met at our car park by the forest leader and taken to the forest school. At the end of the session the group will make their way to our coffee trailer via our scenic trail for a free hot chocolate for the kids. Parents can purchase hot or cold drinks and traybakes. Then back to the car park.

What discoveries await you in the forest today? Numerous hidden treasures are to be found in our secluded glade for your youngster to delve into. Activities range from swaying in the hammocks hanging from the trees to stirring up concoctions in the earth kitchen. Engage in mini-beast searches and make dirt art. With such an exquisite surrounding, boredom is scarce.
Keep your eyes peeled for our affable dragon, Sparky! Our guide from the forest school will instruct the children in utilizing Sparky’s fire to provide warmth for the woodland fairies, and will also educate them on using basic tools to craft a memento to remember their adventure by.
The session culminates around the campfire with a tale and a bit of marshmallow roasting. A hot chocolate is served at the completion of the journey, serving as a flawless end to this mini wild escapade.
