About this place
What to expect
Designed to enable children to explore and discover the natural world, this short walk through Carrick Hill's parkland uses classic children's tales to encourage the imagination. The first stage of the Children's Story Book Trail mainly focuses on British classic tales that reflect Sir Edward and Lady Hayward's era. It is thanks to this couple's gift to the people of South Australia in 1986 that children are able to enjoy the house and gardens today. Stories featured include: Wind in the Willows The Hobbit Three Billy Goats Gruff Quidditch Tree The Secret Garden The Jungle Book The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe Charlotte's Web
