About This Place
The Crocky Trail is a legendary outdoor family adventure trail near Chester in Cheshire, England, built from recycled and salvaged materials across a woodland course. Since 1984, families have navigated its famously bonkers obstacle run featuring rope bridges, water features, giant slides, swings, and various contraptions — all designed for fun rather than fear. One of Britain's most unique and entertaining family days out, the trail is suitable for children aged 4 and up.
