Five Marble Runs. One Very Happy Family.
Something new is rolling into Hobbledown Heath - and kids are already obsessed.
Hobbledown Heath in Hounslow is now home to five handcrafted marble runs - a brand new outdoor activity for kids and families in West London
The rustic handcrafted marble runs are now live across the park. Drop your marble in at the top, watch it twist and race to the bottom, and try - just try - to do it only once. Pick up your marble at online at checkout or at any till point for just £3 and let the fun begin.
The kind of fun that's hard to walk away from
There's something about a marble finding its groove - that satisfying clack as it hits the track, picks up speed, and races to the bottom - that makes everyone stop and stare.
We've built five handcrafted marble runs across the outdoor play area at Hobbledown Heath. Each one is beautifully rustic - natural wood, warm and worn-in, like something from another era. The kind of thing that makes kids forget their tablet exists and makes parents quietly wish they were small again.
Work your way around the park as a family. Race each other. Argue about whose marble was fastest. Go again. It's one of those rare outdoor activities for kids that the whole family genuinely loves - no screens, no queues, just fresh air and the world's most satisfying sound.
How to get rolling
Grab your marble 🪵
Add a marble to your basket at checkout or head to any till point in the park and add a marble to your visit for just £3. Simple as that. Hobbledown Heath marbles only please - outside marbles can block or damage the runs.
Explore the park 🗺️
Five marble runs are spread across the outdoor play area. Work your way around, discover each one, and keep a tally - can you find them all before home time?
Race, roll, repeat 🏆
Drop your marble in, watch it go, and hand it over - reluctantly - for someone else's turn. One of the best things to do with kids in West London just got even better.

One more reason to love a day out at Hobbledown Heath
The marble runs are spread right across Hobbledown Heath - which means they naturally weave into your whole day rather than sitting in one corner of it. Explore Buckbridge Market, scramble through Cribble Creek, climb the treehouses in Wilderness Wood, pan for crystals at the Mining Village - then work your way around to find all five marble runs before the day is done.
It's the kind of outdoor kids' activity that doesn't feel like an activity at all. It just feels like a brilliant day.
