The Nature Trail at Bluewater with The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Bluewater is delighted to announce the relaunch of their Nature Trail, now in partnership with the classic children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, celebrating 50 years since the book was first published.

To enjoy the trail, little ones can pick up a free trail map in mall and follow The Very Hungry Caterpillar-themed signs to explore the lakes, play areas, bug hotels, stepping logs and hopscotch!

Amidst their adventures, children will also discover an incredible, giant wooden sculpture of The Very Hungry Caterpillar crafted by local sculptor Steven Porchmouth.  There’s also a new spider climbing frame in the heart of the Nature Trail, adding to the host of fun outdoor activities.
