Welcome to Studfold Adventure Trail

Designed for curious young explorers, the Studfold Adventure and Fairy Trail offers a magical outdoor experience filled with discoveries, nature facts, and hands-on learning at every turn. Nothing in fairyland is ever straightforward, so be ready for surprises, challenges and larger-than-life encounters in this unique Yorkshire Dales adventure.

Magic is everywhere on the Studfold Adventure and Fairy Trail – from smelly-feely-boxes and shadow clocks to fairy doors, hidden clues and enchanted woodland discoveries in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.

Follow the trail through the fox’s mouth, past the Trail Keeper’s Cottage, and into the world of fairies and pixies, where every visit brings new discoveries. Count the fairy doors, explore wildflower meadows, visit the bird hide, enjoy the play areas, and try go-karts, tractors, and sand play, all surrounded by stunning Nidderdale scenery.

There are plenty of scenic spots to relax. Enjoy a cuppa at our honesty-box shelter or visit our Nidderdale Way Cafe. And you’re welcome to bring your picnic, or order one from the cafe when you arrive. Either way, we’ll deliver it to you on the trail, free of charge!

To make the most of your visit, bring curiosity, imagination, dressing-up outfits (or pick up fairy wings in our shop), and a sense of adventure. Dogs are welcome on leads.

When you arrive

Visit our friendly Reception team at Studfold to collect your age-appropriate cluesheet and unlock the full magic of the Adventure and Fairy Trail. If you bring your cluesheet back completed, you might get an extra surprise.

Parents and carers please note that although the Adventure Trail is extremely safe, children must be supervised at all times by an adult. Go-karts are unsupervised, and helmets must be worn. We kindly ask that you please observe all our safety notices and refer to the Trail Rules for details.
