Lived next to this for almost 18 years.....only very recently found it Lovely little place. Not as busy as chafford gorge and more overgrown. Many steps to get down to it. But a great place for small human and dog exploration.

Beautiful landscapes , good for running in dry weather, I found 4 available entries . 2 is without any fates .. this park is 24 hours Monday to Sunday. No lights when it is dark inside the park. It isn't big . There is nowhere to get lost . This park/ reservoir is in shape of masive serial bowl . Stunning views from the edges, there is wild natural pathways to gets the views. And stairs to get down in two sides of the park . Good for cycling or bird watching. Feels safe . Only 4 stars as it could be more tidying up done, and benches are way too high.

The cliffs are the main attraction, and it's a good place to walk around. However, it would be nicer if the view from on top of the cliffs wasn't blocked by trees, and if there wasn't a main road just off to the side of the cliff top path. I would recommend going to the Chafford Gorges first-there's a beautiful lake there.

Very peaceful and beautiful, some parts are like from the Jurassic park. Only negative is no parking, the nearest residential parkings are either - quite a distance away (drake road, chafford hundred), or residents only ( Badgers Dene).

This is an amazing compact nature reserve in the heart of Grays Town. It is an idyllic place to escape, whether is it is alone, with a loved one or to walk your dog. As an abandonned chalk pit there are echoes of the past, some harder than others to spot, e.g. old railway sleepers beneath your feet on the footways, railway tracks and the entrances to old disused tunnels. The site is also of specific scientific interest due to some of the flora and fauna present, as such the reserve is protected. Several routes around the site mean you can explore different ways in and out of the Reserve. Highly recommended place to visit. Only one issue occasionally is litter so a plea for any visitors to take your rubbish with you to keep this place special.

Very muddy when wet, but a nice walk in a little bit of nature
