What visitors say
Some really cool new additions to the play park that kept my 9 year old happy! I feel like this is much more inclusive for those with kids that have a larger age gap, and the addition of the forest area now being open and not hidden away makes a huge difference to the freedom feeling for the kids! It also means that if it rained, I could still stand under the trees while they played and told me it was 'just spitting' 😂 10/10 would recommend for anyone who is looking for something a bit more interesting to look at while you watch your kids play for an hour.

The new park is great. Only one slight issue would be access in to it is not the easiest due to a slope and uneven step up. Wheelchairs would struggle as the pram did. The playpark it's self is great and definitely worth a visit. The new Forrest area is a cute touch. The park itself is lovely and clean and the coffee shops is great.

Stunning historic castle which was super interesting and fun to explore. They offer a stand with historic information about the castle which was educational. The walks around the park are brilliant for families and dogs and the scenery is fascinating and tranquil.

Great country park plenty of miles of paths taking you off in all directions we usually start up at top and work our way around. Garden centre, cafe’s, coffee shops, play-parks, toilet facilities, picnic benches, plenty of car parking.. even an observatory and much more. Miles of paths taking off in every direction over fields, through woodlands and across marshland. The Castle ruins are a must see whilst visiting too. The park is different depending on the season you come. Different wildlife and vegetation bursting into life.
