Following the success of their Summer Activity Pack, the Trans Pennine Trail has now released a special Autumn/Halloween edition available to download for free. Featuring an array of animal characters, including Mandy Mole and her furry friends, the pack encourages children to get outside and explore nature as the seasons change.
And, if the weather isn’t great, you can print out the pack for indoor activities including colouring in, making banana ghosts and some frightful Halloween jokes. Created especially for Key Stage 1 and 2, this free half term activity pack is designed to help families keep children active, creative and connected with nature this autumn, with plenty of ideas that can be enjoyed close to home or while exploring the Trans Pennine Trail.
Discover the Trail on Your Doorstep
For people living in Southport, the Trans Pennine Trail is a fantastic local asset that sits right on our doorstep. The famous coast-to-coast route cuts right across the middle of England, stretching from the Irish Sea right here in Southport all the way to the North Sea in Hornsea.
Because it is largely flat and traffic-free, it is a brilliant resource for local families. The path is fully accessible, making it just as ideal for a family bike ride or a dog walk as it is for anyone using a wheelchair or pushing a pram.
Where Does the Trans Pennine Trail Start in Southport?
If you want to take the kids to the very beginning of the route, the official starting point at the Trans Pennine Trail Gateway is located right by the seafront.
The Gateway Postcode: Use PR8 1RY for the official start line.
Sat Nav Tip: If you are driving down and want to park up, putting PR8 1RX into your Sat Nav will take you straight to the parking area next to the Southport Eco Centre and the Marine Drive start line.
How to Get Your Free Pack
The activity pack is entirely free to access. Parents, grandparents, and carers can grab a copy by visiting the dedicated children’s section on the official website at the Trans Pennine Trail Children’s Page.
