The Last Survivors is an action packed zombie survival horror experience. This post apocalyptic zombie event is set in a fully functioning Secret Nuclear Fallout Bunker. The experience will see you not only taking down zombies but collecting video game type collectibles and searching for ever decreasing ammo...
Amazing experience, loved it. Quick orientation and in we go. It's absolutely terrifying, seriously intense and a lot of fun. If you play COD Zombies or watch zombie films and think"Yeah, I'd be fine" then this is your chance to prove it!

We had a great time at Clue HQ. They kindly let us book same day and our gamemaster had clearly stayed late just so we could play which was much appreciated! Gameplay was very original and we really enjoyed the little twist and turns. Thanks again for fitting us in and thank you to lovely gamemaster who stayed and gave us a great game!

This beautiful country park contains a diverse range of habitats and is managed both for people and for its precious wildlife. There are some fantastic walks through ancient woodland and historic deer parks which lie close alongside recently planted woodland and a landscape of small pastures. Thorndon Countryside Centre is managed by Essex Wildlife Trust and the Park is managed by Essex County Council in a joint venture. Gruffalo Trail Come and see the original Gruffalo Trail - a self-led trail around the woods, searching for carvings of the Gruffalo characters. Gruffalo Activity Maps are available from the Countryside Centre, at a cost of 50p. The countryside centre offers some unique gifts and books, a separate education room, refreshments and displays. There are regular activities for children, schools and families. Few areas offer such variety as Thorndon country park and its surroundings. Ancient woodland and historic deer parks lie close alongside recently planted woodland and a landscape of small pastures, while nearby is the high forest of Hartswood and former common land. Thorndon Country Park is in two parts, the northern section on a gravel ridge and the southern part on clay soil lower down. The two parts are now linked by Old Thorndon Pastures, which is farmland that has been restored to a traditional farming landscape with small hedged fields, grazed by cattle. Thorndon Country Park North In spring, the woodlands of Thorndon North are filled with the scent and colour of bluebells, anemones and other woodland flowers. The woods are rich in birdlife and attract many species of migrant and over-wintering birds including bramblings, siskins and redpolls. Childerditch Pond is both beautiful and tranquil. Please note: Thorndon Country Park North car park is the best way to access the Gruffalo Trail. Thorndon Country Park South The open parkland at Thorndon South is busy with families enjoying barbecues and picnics, whilst drinking in views reaching out across countryside and into the heart of Canary Wharf. It's a great place to fly a kite. Thorndon Country Park offers a variety of habitats including ancient woodland, parkland, ponds, a marsh and meadow. There are some stunning ancient trees including Giant Oak and Hornbeam pollards, that are reminders that this was once a deer park. Parts of it used to be heathland, now a scarce habitat in Essex, and to restore it parts of the park, both north and south, are being grazed by goats and sheep. The park attracts a large number of woodland birds and sees more than its fair share of passage migrants and winter visitors. For example, large flocks of Siskins and Redpolls often gather in the birches, and bramblings can be seen near to the centre feeding on beech mast. There are many butterflies to be enjoyed including the uncommon Purple and White-letter Hairstreaks. The park is managed by Essex County Council's Ranger Service who are returning Conifer plantations to grassland or woodland as mature trees are harvested. The Countryside Centre in Thorndon Park North was built just after the 1987 hurricane and fallen timber from a number of Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserves was used in its construction. It is the Trust's most popular centre with over 100,000 visitors per year, and provides refreshments, a gift shop, displays and interpretation.
Thornton Country Park is a wonderful place, so much to see and do especially for the children , it gives lots of scope and things for the children to explore.

Lovely park with plenty of play areas and masses of space for the children to play in. Lovely different stick man themed play areas, you can buy a trail map from the cafe for 50p Feeding the deer was probably the children's highlight. You can bring veg or buy food from the shop £1 per bag and children got a lolly when they brought the empty bags back. Nice cafe. Parking is not cheap but £5.50 pays for over 3 hours and machine takes cards.

We were lucky enough to visit the reserve on probably the best day of the year so far. The snowdrops were beautiful and made a lovely subject to photograph. No dogs are allowed, which made a nice change. Not sure where one reviewer went, but we found no cow pats in the reserve. The information boards, placed at appropriate intervals, provide very interesting facts relating to the history of the family who once lived on the site and the buildings they occupied. We finished our morning with lunch in the Thatchers Arms, close to the entrance of the reserve itself. Will certainly be returning to see the daffodils and bluebells in due course.
