What visitors say
My first visit to the country park & i was impressed with its beachside location, picnic areas & plentiful parking includinga bike rack. A cafe had savoury, sweet & ice cream options. We sat outside on the patio area which had protection from the sun. Service was friendly & staff were happy to refill our water bottles as we had cycled to this venue. Food was tasty & reasonably priced. We walked to the beach after our meal down the well signed pathway.

Lovely views of the viaduct and walks through the woodland, and wetlands down to the beach. The cafe is lovely and serves barista-made hot drinks, cakes, ice-cream etc. Accessibility is well thought through, with parking free for blue badge holders, and ramps placed throughout. However please be mindful that this a country park and not every area will be accessible to all. Will be back soon to explore the beach area.

Really gorgeous park with beautiful views, can walk right down to beach and a beautiful viaduct in the background. Plenty of green area and woods to walk and explore. Small childrens play park, clean toilets and cafe that was still open at 7pm on a friday evening. Lots of parking and Parking charges were £1 for 1hour and £2 for 2hours today. Best way to get to the beach, very stoney and we had a jumbo fly low over us to land at the airport

A perfect place for the whole family or a peaceful walk on your own. There are plenty of trails, a beautiful forest, little streams, a café with ice cream, clean and well-maintained toilets, and access to the sea. I absolutely love it.
