Guyhirn Accommodation

The wildlife lovers among you can go on buggy safaris to see herds of wild buffalo and free-roaming antelope at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve, or embark on guided nature walks at Church Farm in Stow Bardolph (both half an hour’s drive) to learn about foraging for fungi. Fancy some outdoor activity? Call up your inner Robin Hood and fly a few arrows at Grey Goose Archery and Axes (half an hour), where you can also fling spears and axes (safely) around. If the weather isn’t playing ball, head for the laser-tag games at Laserforce or go ten-pin bowling at Hollywood Bowl Peterborough (both 25 minutes), where you can also play snooker and slots. When more cultural pursuits are called for, Peckover House and Garden (10 minutes) offers pre-booked tours of a stately Georgian mansion and meanders around a prettily planted garden. There’s a handsome moated castle complete with priest holes at Oxburgh Estate (40 minutes), and medieval St George’s Guildhall (half an hour) hosts a 15th-century theatre under a historic vaulted ceiling.
