About

It’s Ireland’s only official Gruffalo Trail; a Julia Donaldson-endorsed walk. 

Step into the glorious world of the Gruffalo. Enter the deep, dark wood, meet the clever little mouse, the fox, the owl, the snake, before stumbling upon those knobbly knees and turned out toes and that poisonous wart on the end of his nose: The Gruffalo!

You can enjoy the walk free of charge or book a Guided Gruffalo & Stickman Trail.

Bring your little ones along and go right inside the glorious Gruffalo and Stickman stories – on our Guided Gruffalo & Stickman Trail and search for the famous characters in the woods, listen wide-eyed and wondered to the classic tales and take home your very own Gruffalo book and certificate, to keep forever! 

Just a short drive from Belfast city centre, Colin Glen is perfectly placed for fun-filled, action-packed adventure to bring everyone together.
