This 180-acre park features a variety of landscapes, including woodland, grassland, and heathland, with several walking trails and a scenic lake. The park is home to a wide range of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and birds, and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the park's many features, including a children's play area, a cafe, and a visitor center with interactive exhibits. The park also hosts various events and activities throughout the year, such as guided walks, nature talks, and outdoor skills sessions.
A wonderful hidden gem for walking - fields and lakes as well as a lot of wildlife. The car park is quite small, and this is a popular place to come, so just be wary as it can get busy quite quickly. It is a great place to walk the dog, but just note that dogs do need to be kept on a leash at certain times of the year due to nesting birds.
We have only recently gotten around to walking here however today we took the plunge!! The car park is quite small but there is a little overflow over the road. However the area to walk in is pretty and had some great dens to add to/build in the woods, some blackberries to pick, insects and butterflies to spot (although today these were few and far between) and some lovely benches to sit at. Taking a picnic and having a nice relaxed lunch would be great there and there is lots of space just to run around, trees to hide behind and puddles to splash in!! The ice house is a nice little feature to visit on your walk as well as finding some lovely carved animals. We spent a couple of hours here just wandering so a nice afternoon or morning outing. Take care near the ponds - the banks are quite muddy (they are trying to grow some plants but they are not taking well) and a child can easily get down to them and get in as there is no fences so make sure to keep a hold of small people
Beautiful country park. Great walk with star feature - 19th century Ice House.
Lovely walk through the woods which leads into a massive open wild meadow where our dog could run free, follow the path at the edge of the wood to two ponds with bug hides...
Lovely meadow with a small car park. Had a nice walk in the summer sunshine August 2021. Plenty of open space & beautiful. A butterfly even landed on my leg
It wasn't what I was expecting. The map online shows a circular walk and when we arrived it was more of a walk and then turn back, walk across a field and then back to the car park. If I knew what to expect I may have taken a picnic to make the most of it, however with all the dogs that were there, not on leads, I doubt this would have been a good idea either. There were nice views when on the field though and some interesting little things to look at beyond the field eg. An historic ice-house. The car park is only big enough for roughly 10/12 cars and there is nowhere else to park near-by. We visited on a weekend, but I would imagine during a weekday this would not be a good place to visit as there is a working quarry in operation in the centre of the 'walk'. (It wasn't in operation on the weekend). I won't be visiting here again, sorry.
