The Grotto in Newbury Park is the newest and best. It will have a touch of magic for all the family. There will be entertainment, festive activities, and of course the aforementioned grotto. And of course, the usual suspects like Santa and Mrs Claus.

Aside from the grotto, the new park offers fun for all the family. Take a ride on the Reindeer Railway, or enjoy a family outing in the Winter Wonderland. For those who prefer to stay dry, you can take a stroll along the water’s edge. Whether you are into shopping, eating, or simply exploring, the town of Newbury Park has something for everyone.

Another shin-bones worthy event is the Panto Express. Held on selected dates throughout the year, it is a festive event featuring carollers, horse and carriage rides, and of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus. Besides the Panto, you can also take in the sights at the nearby Hungerford antiques market.

The grotto may be a bit of a stretch, but you can get a lot of Christmas cheer for a small price. Not only does the park have a grotto, but it also has a reindeer feeding experience, or so says the locals. If you have little ones, this may be just the thing for you.

In addition to the aforementioned grotto, you can also visit Santa at the nearby Dobbies Garden Centre. Also at this location is a ‘quiet grotto’ for the adults in your group. To top it off, the park also has a Christmas tree which is quite the showpiece.

Aside from the grotto, there is also a courtesy boat trip . The trip lasts about an hour, and will give your child a chance to see the best of Greenham Land. At the end of it all, your child will receive a gift from the man in red himself. While you are on the boat, you will also be treated to a hot drink and mince pies for the adults. This is the perfect way to ring in the holidays.

Lastly, if you are interested in seeing the town at its merriest, you can always visit the Winter Carnival. This ‘free’ event will be held on the first weekend of December, and will feature the best of both worlds, with a grotto as well as a panto on the bill.

Hopefully, you’ll have a good time and you’ll be able to take home a santa hat or two! After all, a visit with the man in red is a big deal. Getting there is the easy part. Plus, the park is situated on the aforementioned Wayfarers Way, which means you’ll be greeted by lovely views of the surrounding North Hampshire countryside. Moreover, you’ll be able to sample some of the area’s finest craft ales and homegrown specialties.

All in all, the town of Newbury Park is a great place to spend your holidays, to the magical Winter Wonderland, there are plenty of things to see and do.

Sycamore Canyon Falls is a quaint collection of small waterfalls. There are half a dozen of them, all carved into the sandstone canyon wall. They are located in the Point Mugu State Park and Newbury Park. During summer, the falls are not flowing very much, but after a rainstorm, they become quite impressive.

Sycamore Canyon is an excellent place for biking and hiking. The trails are shaded by tall sycamore trees, and there are several stream crossings. You can ride a bicycle on the Two Foxes Trail or the Sycamore Canyon Fire Road. These are some of the best trails in the area.

Sycamore Canyon Campground has 58 campsites. Parking is free and restrooms are available at the trailhead. The campground is located across PCH from the ocean. It is a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and sea. Several picnic tables are available in the campground.

Sycamore Canyon is part of the Transverse Ranges in the Los Angeles area. As such, it has been the subject of many hiker and biker trails. Among the more popular ones are the Sycamore Canyon Trail, which starts in the canyon and runs west. The Upper Sycamore Trail is a more technical climb that gains steeper elevations and leads to Old Boney Trail.

The Big Sycamore Canyon Trail is a 16-mile round trip. This route is fairly easy, although the last mile or so is pretty steep. If you’re planning a longer ride, consider taking the Two Foxes Trail to the Coyote Trail. Both trails have a few short steep sections.

Sycamore Canyon is an ideal destination for novice and intermediate cyclists. Bikers can access this area by riding the Sycamore Canyon Fire Road, which is a well-maintained road with a few streams to cross. A GPS track can help riders find their way and give them a good idea of what to expect. Several outhouses are also located along the road, including one in the Wood Canyon near Hell Hill.

The Satwiwa Culture Center, a Native American natural and cultural site, is located south of the trailhead. Here you can learn about the local history and culture, visit the Native American artifacts, and get some great views of the Boney Mountain.

The best time to visit Sycamore Canyon is during a storm, especially if you want to see the falls flowing. Besides the waterfalls, the canyon is home to several migrating monarch butterflies. Ringtail cats and California newts are also a common sight. Another advantage of hiking Sycamore Canyon is that it is one of the least populated areas in the park.

One of the best places to view the autumn leaf display is in the Sycamore Canyon area. The canyon has several trails that offer spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. However, be sure to watch out for rattlesnakes! The trails are not rocky, but they are not rutted either. When it comes to hiking, Sycamore Canyon is an excellent place for beginners and intermediates.
