Web Design Brief
Puddleduck Valley is a low environmental impact children’s farm stay and nature education experience in Devon England which presents families with the opportunity to get closer to nature.
While staying at Puddleduck Valley, guests will be encouraged to take part in organised nature and adventure based activities such as bird and butterfly spotting, making camps, mini beast hunts, egg collecting, star gazing, pond dipping and moth nights.
Think of the stuff you wanted to do with your parents when you were nine – fishing with Dad? Making a camp with your new friends? Clay face modelling with Mum? Convey this in your site design.
