Brambly Hedge at Abbotsbury Swannery

Brambly Hedge is a collection of children’s stories and illustrations by author Jill Barklem. The books follow the lives and adventures of a community of self-sufficient mice who live in Brambly Hedge.

The trail is based on one of the most delightful books in the Brambly Hedge collection called Sea Story. The trail takes visitors around the Swannery grounds, to discover more about the swans and the adventurous mice.

Designed for families to enjoy, the trail includes stamp points, questions to answer and characters to meet, all alongside the swans and discovering more about the unique Swannery.
