Summer Magic Trails

Our Rangers are sure that magical creatures, including fairies, trolls and maybe even unicorns and dragons live deep in the hidden corners of the parks.

But some children seem to have stopped believing in them!

Can you find and count the magical creatures on our Summer Magic trail, to help make the magic stronger?

Pick up a free trail activity sheet from participating sites, or download and print at home.

Download the Summer Magic trail sheet, choose Unicorn or Dragon.
