Lovely little nature reserve. Spent many happy hours wandering around. I love the photography opportunities and speaking to the volunteers. Lots of maintenance has been done recently to make it more open. The attached photos were taken between Jan to March 2026.

Lovely park with full of untouched natural beauty. Excellent for bird viewing and photography. Dogs are not allowed. Free parking is available.

A nice place to take the kids to explore. It's not usually very busy so it's always easy to park in my experience. It's not massive so can easily walk around the whole place in well under an hour. But I'd say this is a good place to take your time and see what you can spot as you go exploring.
