[First Paragraph]
A few months back, I visited the Play Trail
at Moors Valley Country Park in Hampshire,
England. The trail is a roughly circular
woodland walk that takes in some
unique and charming artist-designed

wooden play structures, each engaging in
a different way with the natural surroundings.
It is immensely popular with both
families and groups. A preschool class was
following the walk at the same time I was.
So I had a good opportunity to see what the
children and their caretakers made of it. |
