Fenstanton and Hilton Primary School

After leaving school we set out on our merry way to Burghley House to visit the Scultpure Garden and the Garden of Surprises.

The Scultpure Garden was developed in 1989 on the site of Capability Brown's lost garden. It has some amazing scultpures which we had great fun naming and investigating. There were plenty of weird, wonderful and inspiring scultpures to be seen in the beautiful (and thankfully dry) surroundings. Here are just a few.

The Garden of Surprises was opened in 2007. It has an interesting mix of water, stone and steam features which suddenly turn on and off. This can lead to some very wet people!!

We arrived at Caythorpe Court at 3.15 to be met by Group Leader (Groupie) named Sabrina or Bina!

The children then settled into their rooms, got a little unpacked and had a tour.

This evening we are planning on a wacky races type activity which should be very interesting.

All in all a wonderful first day. Until tomorrow then!! High ropes, Giant swing, Quad bikes and much more to come.
