Autumn Scavenger Hunt

Autumn has arrived and the parks are brimming with colour. Can you find 5 or more of these seasonal sights on your next trip to one of our country parks?

We’ve created an Autumn Scavenger Hunt to encourage you to get exploring. Can you find five or more of these seasonal items on your next visit to one of our country parks?

Collect leaves in an array of colours, enjoy a conker fight, keep your eyes peeled for a squirrel, see if you can spot a duck by the lake and look out for brightly coloured berries on the bushes or mushrooms on the ground. (Please be careful not to touch the mushrooms and berries).

Watch out for spooktacular fun coming soon to Essex Country Parks including a Monster Mysteries trail and Spooky Forest School.


Can you spot these seasonal sights in our autumn scavenger hunt?

We would love to see your photos, please tag Explore Essex and follow us on social media.

Not sure which park to visit? Discover all of our parks here, with acres of open space, woodlands and meadows waiting to be explored.

Entry to the Country Parks is free, and every penny spent on car parking is reinvested into the upkeep and development of the parks and the protection of the wildlife within.

We hope to see you soon.
