Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, located just outside Fakenham, has expanded its play area with The Living Towers.

It is a major addition to the WildRootz outdoor area and marks the first new outdoor play development at Pensthorpe in almost 12 years.

The area includes two nine-metre towers and an 11-metre rope bridge for children of all abilities to explore.

Ben Marshall, managing director at Pensthorpe, said: "Opening The Living Towers in time for Easter makes this year’s holiday even more special for families visiting Pensthorpe.

"This £300,000 investment is a huge milestone for us.

"We can’t wait to welcome visitors to experience it."

The launch coincides with the start of the site's Easter Garden and Egg Hunt, where families can explore a vibrant garden filled with colourful decorations and hidden eggs.

Pensthorpe covers 700 acres and features nature trails, wildlife experiences and seasonal activities included with admission.

Tickets start at £13.95 for adults, £15.95 for children and under-threes can visit for £1.
