🚨 When the pager goes… we go.

This is what it’s all about — ordinary people, leaving what they’re doing and heading out to help someone in need.

Step through the door and into another world! ✨ The Walled Garden is our favourite magical spot for a reason - it feels like a scene straight out of a storybook.

How many of these magical features can your little explorers find today?

🚪 The Green Door: Is it the secret entrance to a world of flowers?

🗿 The Stone Sentinels: Are they ancient plinths guarding the paths?

🌸 The Giant Rhodies: Flowers so big they look like they belong in a jungle!

🏰 The Ruin View: A peek-a-boo window through the trees back to the old Castle.
