Big, beautiful, muddy walk! Wonderful to clear out those cobwebs, get fresh air and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the woods!
It's really lovely to walk around. Some parts are buggy friendly too, which we will remember for next time! Lake was very beautiful on a sunny day, not supposed to feed the ducks (even though some were), so that's something to highlight if you take little ones. Lots of benches are available near the front entrance and plenty of grassy areas to set up for a picnic. Removing your own rubbish is preferable as it's a charity run park. We enjoyed ice cream, coffee and their bacon and egg baguettes were delicious. This is the one with the smaller car park. There's another entrance that has a much larger one and a different entrance. The roads leading to it do have several pot holes but I don't feel its fair to lay blame for this on the park as its surely a council issue?
Stopped off at the Stockgrove entrance and had a short walk via the Sundial, Lake and Bakers Wood. There's a real mix of trees and terrain here. A lot to see if you want to look at nature with a mix of paths. Dogs are welcomed but take notes of the signs for where control or leads are expected. The small visitor center at this entrance had a good selection of drinks, toasties, butties and burgers. Lots of information signs as well as toilets. The carpark has barriers linked to Automatic Numbers Plate Recognition, pay before you leave
Went to Rushmere with 4 friends and a dog had a wonderful stroll under the shade of the trees, it was an extremely hot day but the trees made it pleasant. The swans signets ducks and their babies were beautiful The Rhododendrons were beautiful in full bloom. We had drinks and food too. All very good. Highly recommended day out
Took my Grandaughter here to feed the ducks, she loved it, it was only a quick visit this time, but I have been here many times in the past from when I was a child, then with my own children and now with my Grandchild so lots of happy memories over the years.
Parking is limited. The snack hole was open and there was an ice cream van when we went though so the kids were happy. Nice place that you can do both a short and long walk.
