EXCLUSIVE: **EMBARGOED: 22:00, 22 February 2021 GMT ** These are the FIRST photos of the huge adventure playground inspired by Kate Middleton and built on the Queen???s Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Kate???s Back to Nature garden at the last Chelsea Flower Show featured a rope swing, tepee hideaway and a tree house to encourage children to immerse themselves in nature. Now the Sandringham Estate, which attracts 500,000 visitors a year, has built a giant adventure playground modelled on famous local landmarks ??" including the Queen???s favourite church. The spectacular new woodland playground, which has replaced an existing smaller play area, is taking shape with most of the treehouses now built. The centre piece of the playground is an eight-metre tall Appleton Water Tower, inspired by the Victorian landmark, which was built in 1877 to improve the quality of the water supply to Sandringham House. The tall treehouse, which is now nearly complete, features a 14-metre long tube slide, winding spiral staircase, water play tables with pumps at the top and bottom and talking tubes so kids can communicate. Creating Adventurous Spaces Ltd, who have designed the playground, describe the tower as ??sa ground-breaking new play feature fit for the Sandringham Estate.??? Other tall treehouses are in the process of being constructed and have been inspired by buildings on the Sandringham estate. They include the grade-two listed St Mary Magdalene Church, which the Queen and Royal family attend at Christmas, and the ruined Church of St Mary, which stands near the village of West Newton. A secret enclosed play structure is also set to be built, inspired by Queen Alexandra???s Nest, a summerhouse built in 1913 on the rockery overlooking the lake on the Royal estate. The play area also includes a special space for toddlers with two houses connected by a bridge. As part of the application the Queen has been advised to plant bat-friendly flowers around the new playground. Her Majesty was told the site would benefit from a wildflower planting scheme to increase the foraging opportunities for bats and pollinators. She has also been advised to install three bat boxes and two bird boxes on trees near the huge play area. Pictured: GV,General View World Rights
