What visitors say

Tommy Horn

A very nice country park set around lakes and a beautiful natural little river. There's a nice little cafe, with an outdoor decked area for when the weather's nice. And there's quite a few bird hides to look in. We saw two birds I'd never seen before from one of the hides, a Water Rail snd a Nuthatch, so I was very pleased.

Lovely park for a walk, loads of wildlife to see. Cafe at the carpark was good & not too expensive. Parking charges a bit strange, one time period (12 hours) for £3.50, for those who just want an hour as that is all my wife can manage & no blue badge discount it is a bit steep.
