## What visitors say

[Ms Chhetri](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118213967523401023706/reviews) ★★★★★

Bedford Park Nature Reserve is such a sweet little place to visit with children. My little ones absolutely love feeding the deer, which makes the trip feel really special and exciting for them. There’s a small play area to enjoy, and plenty of nature to explore together as a family. It can get muddy, so wellies are a must — but that’s part of the fun! A peaceful, simple spot where kids can connect with nature and make lovely memories. 🌿🦌

Lovely space, friendly staff in the cafe. Ideal for a hot sunny day with lots of shady trees and a stunning view.

Free car park, free to enter, and free to feed deer if you bring your own carrots or apples. Deers love the £2 pallets brought from wildlife centre more than anything, especially in evening :)
