What visitors say
What a brilliant family spot. Great walks around the pond. Watching the swans and cygnet babies swimming around. Great functions and available all year round. And it's free folks. So why are you waiting? Get down there and enjoy yourself.

My partner and I definitely loved this walk it was peaceful. There were dinosaur trails for the kids, a small cafe and a great outdoor skating park. There’s also playgrounds for children and the walking trail is easy to follow There was a lake that had a variety of wildlife and we did see some people fishing there

Really nice walk around a beautiful lake. Play park for the kids and a nice cafe near the car park. Plenty of wildlife on the lake, which is nice. We saw some baby moorhens and such.

The Country park is really nice for a walk. It's not very big so you're not going to be spending all day. I think this place is best for those with children. The park is really, really good. I wish I had such high quality playgrounds when I was younger. When I was younger parks were nowhere near this. Visiting in Summer is especially wonderful. Definitely worth a visit.
