Peaceful public park with many large mature trees, 2 ponds (1 used for model boats) & a tea room.
Attractive, well maintained small park, landscaped in the early 1800s. On one side of the road there's a lake surrounded by large trees, with the impressive Cedar of Lebanon of particular note. Here, water birds gather in huge numbers. Across the road, there are ornamental water features, cascades and picturesque covered bridges. These are complemented by colourful, well maintained floral borders to create a charming garden. There's a free parking area for the gardens, but it can get very busy in peak season, so it's advisable to arrive earlier or later in the day if you prefer a quieter visit. The paths are fairly level and make for an easy walk. There's a cafe in the old Billiards Room, along with toilet facilities.
Easy parking found off the road, I was going to drop a star due to the sheer number of seagulls but that didn't seem fair as it's not something they can control. Areas are well maintained and the team at the restaurant were amazing along with all their recycling and picked up any rubbish seen keeping the place clean. Food here was fair. Disabled bathroom was spacious and well maintained. Benches are throughout the park so you can rest. Online they have a map showing accessibility to areas of the park- like steep hills and steps. Really helpful for limited mobility.
Lovely large park with lots to see. Dogs are mostly well-behaved which is a plus if you have small children. Also appropriate notices of areas where dogs need to be leashed and cafe encourage only well-behaved dogs inside which is very considerate of other guests and visitors to the park. The swans, ducks and other birds are happy to be fed. Bird food available at the shop for 60p. Wear your boots. Nice easy trails for those who may be a bit challenged or have prams or buggies. Nice cafe with reasonable prices--bright, cozy and simple. Staff at the cafe are pleasant. Toilets clean. All in all, a very lovely place for a walk or sit and read a book under a trees or on a bench. Free parking is such a bonus
Lovely grounds, boating pool, cafe/restaurant. Great place to have a picnic. Very picturesque
A great little park plenty to see and do with good facilities and parking
Beautiful part of the country! A park with lots of things going out, a play area for children, a cafe with loads of options. Lots of space for people to have a picnic. The swans and wildlife are all beautiful. People can play some games, walk their dogs, lovely water ways. The small issue is parking only for 4 hours in the main car park - is not enough!!
