Country Park – Brechin Castle Garden Centre

The Country Park

A magical place where stories come to life

Opening Soon

Dragontale Castle

Climb the towers, cross the bridges, solve the puzzles and let the tale unfold!

Tucked within a magical realm of dragons and fairytale charm lies Dragontale Castle – a magnificent wooden kingdom filled with wonder, adventure, and imagination.

Whether they’re donning knight’s armour or a princess gown, Dragontale Castle invites children to become part of the story. Scale the turrets, tiptoe across rope bridges, navigate swaying walkways, and whoosh down giant tube slides. Discover balance trails, bouncing trampolines, and towering lookout points equipped with telescopes for spotting distant dragons (or snack time signals!)

But this castle isn’t just for the bold of foot – it’s for the quick of mind too. Hidden throughout the structure are puzzle-based challenges, talking tubes to whisper across the kingdom, and secret spots for quiet moments of imaginative play.

No two visits will ever be the same!

Dragontale Castle is suitable for children aged 2 and up, with something for every level of energy, curiosity, and courage. From toddler-friendly corners to high climbs and hidden puzzles, it’s a space where children become the hero of their own fairytale.

Dragontale Castle opens its gates mid-July as part of our ongoing transformation of the park. This magical new centrepiece marks the beginning of an exciting new era for our woodland kingdom.

So polish your boots, pack your courage, and prepare for adventure. The gates of Dragontale Castle will open soon… and the story is yours to write.

Step into a world of woodland wonder and join the fairies on a magical quest through our enchanting Fairy Trail. Nestled in the trees, this charming walk invites young adventurers and their grown-ups to follow a winding path through nature, discovering fairy doors, magical creatures, and hidden clues along the way. Every group receives a free activity booklet that guides them on a quest to help return stolen fairy gemstones to their rightful owners. With riddles to solve, secrets to uncover, and fairy magic in the air, the trail is an unforgettable experience for imaginative minds.

Perfect for families with children aged 2 and up, the Fairy Trail is a gentle, self-guided adventure that blends storytelling, exploration, and creative play. Though the trail is rustic and winds through natural woodland, the magic is easy to find – just bring sturdy footwear and a sense of belief.

Add a sprinkle of imagination to your day and let the fairies lead the way!

Crazy Golf

Our 9-hole Crazy Golf course is more than just a putting challenge – it’s a mini-adventure for the whole family!

Navigate your ball up ramps, wind it around whimsical horses and toadstools, spiral through a helter-skelter, and aim for the lighthouse before crossing the bridge and rolling it through the castle gateway.

Located just outside the park entrance, this course blends fairytale charm with family-friendly fun – perfect for a sprinkle of friendly competition on a sunny day.

Sledge Run

Race to the Bottom! Feel the rush as you zoom down our exciting Sledge Run – no snow required!

Climb to the top, take your place on a colourful sledge, and see who can race to the bottom the fastest. With two lanes side by side, it’s the perfect chance for a bit of friendly competition between siblings, friends, or even grown-ups!

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just along for the giggles, the Sledge Run delivers fast-paced fun for all ages.

Wooden Maze
