Maidenhead & Windsor

There will be clues, pictures and puzzles to figure out – and a chance to get close to nature – when the Windsor and Maidenhead Ray Mill Island Ranger Roadshow and Trail Challenge takes place on Sunday July 29 from 1 to 5pm.

The event will take place on the island which is reached by crossing the bridge at Boulters Lock, Lower Cookham Road, Maidenhead.

In the roadshow youngsters and families will be able to discover nature close up, touching a nest, holding a skull and seeing what’s lurking in a pond. Visitors can also ask the rangers wildlife questions and learn more about their work around the borough.

The Windsor and Maidenhead summer wildlife trail challenge, organised by the Royal Borough’s countryside rangers for all the family, requires participants to follow a map, looking for clues and figuring out the answers, with a prize at the end for those who complete the challenge.

There is no need to book, simply turn up on the day. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Entrance to Ray Mill Island and the ranger roadshow is free. The cost for the trail challenge is £2.60 per child with an Advantage Card; junior non-Advantage Card holders will be charged an additional daily entry fee of 60p and adults go free.
