Beautiful little nature reserve with with lots of bird life. there is a trail around the lake and a few other trails through the woods. It's an incredibly peaceful place in the city and a great place to take the little ones. Our daughter loved feeding the ducks.
It's a lovely walk but no facilities on the plus side parking in free
Nice little nature reserve, ducks, geese and swans on the lake , trails to walk and seating . Car park but no other facilities . We even had hail to add to the fun
First time I visited today and I loved it. Lovely walks, atmosphere and trees. Lots of areas to explore and to see the lake.
Just a nice local place to walk a dog, paths are good, rarely any litter around, always looks best in the morning with dew on the grass.
