The play park was inspired by the country's first Chief Spymaster William Cecil who worked for Queen Elizabeth I.

It has six-themed zones, with lots of technology-free rides along the way.

This includes the Whispering Woods, Butterfly Banks and Woodhenge.

The largest part of the park is the Hidden Towers with two slides, climbing walls, wobbly walkways and tunnels.

The park also has a cafe The Muddy Mole, with snacks and drinks on offer.

Kids are given a free Spymasters Guide activity book on arrival too, where they can find hidden mols and break cypher codes.
