What visitors say
Amazing place. Lots of walks, immersed in nature. Well organised and not too wet and muddy. Bird and mammal displays good. Enjoyed the owl display. Tea Room could do to be a little bigger as we had to wait to sit down but that's a minor thing. The lunch we had was delicious and the staff in there were super (Well done!). Play area for children and dogs can go on a lead. Easy to find and park. Well worth a day out. Thank you to everyone!!

Brilliant space. Plenty of info. Good cafe and ice creams. Small play area for children. Bird of prey centre and a fantastic flying display. Staff all friendly, helpful and efficient. Good place for a 4/5 hour wonder about but you could stay longer. Great climbing trees , although probably best not climb too high! Children given a guide to complete. Plenty of parking. There was an half price offer but annoyingly you had to have signed up before you arrived. Mobile data not the best at the site so difficult/slow to do when you arrive. Half price offer us great but you should be able to do it at the door and nit have to in advance. Very small discount of £1 for concessions which is disappointing. A pound is a pound but it should have Ernie between 10 and 15%

Stunning parkland with lots of trails to wander through. Beautiful flowering borders and many varities of well-grown, old trees. Lots of parking. I only stayed about 40 mins as my 81 yr old Mum couldn't walk far, but I plan to go back.

Have visited three times: Halloween, Easter, and late May. The grounds have been absolutely stunning each time. If you only go once though, go when the daffodils are out, never ever seen so many before! Plenty to do with the birds of prey, animals, playground, and trails. Can easily fill a full day here and we'll worth the entrance fee.
