This 160-acre park in Berwickshire, Scotland, features a variety of landscapes, including woodland, grassland, and wetlands, with several walking trails and a 2.5-mile circular route. The park is home to a range of wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects, and offers scenic views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the park's natural beauty, enjoy a picnic, or take part in outdoor activities such as cycling or horse riding.
This park is really something. Upon entering the park there are fields of meadows which allow you to bask in the sun, see wildflowers and hunt for mushrooms. There is even a wobbly bench you can rest on to take in the view. There is a small stream with some fish and a little bridge to stop on. My favourite part, though, is the woodland. On the edge of the meadow there are multiple entries into this darker part of the park. You can hear the crunching of leaves and twigs underfoot accompanied by the trill of birds and the occasional scurrying of a rabbit. There are innumerable rabbit holes. There's some old trees and fallen tree trunks nestled within bunches of mushrooms. It's really fun trying to identify them. There's a group of small ponds covered in green algae giving the area an eerily quiet air. There's numerous paths to take you round and round, albeit they get quite muddy after a bit of rain. Various sticks and tree branches have been added to help you get across with only somewhat muddy shoes. Beware the thorny bushes on these winding paths. The woodland guides you to various exits, from meadow to wheat fields, with the occasional train whistle accompanying you across the park. There are quite a few places where you can see the train tracks beyond a fence. There is also a small car park which takes you back to the industrial estate that clashes with the greenery and peace of the inner park. Depending on the day and weather, you may see other people but mostly from afar so you are left to your own pace and on your own path. I've enjoyed my walks and exploration here and would recommend it to anyone looking for the slightly wilder park.
Not really much there unless you like fields & only 1 pond which is inaccessible, would be a good place for walking your dog but that's about it
This is an underrated treasure of a park that only locals really know about and use. Superb fields, woods and boardwalk to explore. Amazing bluebells in spring! We love this place.
Large open space, bordered by the railway on one edge, great for dog walking. Can be VERY muddy in winter.
Great short walk...but the litter in the car park is just beyond belief.
Beautiful spacious fields and woods. Plenty of space for everyone and different pathways to discover. No parking charges either!
