What visitors say
This is an amazing place which we will definitely go back to, the bird hide was bustling with activity from coal tits, blue tits, a great tit, dunnocks it was a right good show, expansive walking trails the ponds are rife with grebes, a heron lots of damsel and dragonflies. Only down side was as soon as I came in a rather round lady, who is staff had a owl on her arm, I just wanted to ask about the owl and as soon as I said hi she abruptly and rudely just snarled at me saying no photos and walked off. Either way the place itself is amazing

Great place to visit with the family, some nice accessible walks and plenty of open spaces to play games and sit for a picnic. Parking is charged at a reasonable rate and there is a visitor centre with a cafe. We will visit again to try some of their other walks. Lots to see around the park, and some nice features to keep the kids entertained including a brilliant playground!

A truly wonderful day out we had today. So much to do, so much to see. Plenty of parking. Great value at the café, also at the gift shop. We had ice-creams which were good value. Plenty of open space to walk around. The parks are really good for the kids. Well worth a visit with your kids.
