What visitors say
First visit in quite a while. Parking was a bit expensive, but lots of work has been done on the pathways, to make it easier to get around. Very dog friendly. The walled garden area, and kids play areas are lovely, but the café didn't have much selection when we were there ( and it was early in the day, so they obviously hadn't sold out) the lake area used to be lovely, but it was just a mess, so maybe its on the list of "things to do!" Perhaps a sign up to indicate what the plan is?

Fantastic location for the family. It's free so treat yourself to some coffee, ice-cream and maybe a light lunch. Interesting wildlife on the sea marsh

The oak sauna is incredible. Super relaxing watching the birds & squirrels from the window! Thank you to the lovely ladies running it who checked on me and gave me some lovely goodies.

Quite a nice park, for a walk but wouldn't recommend taking a wheelchair or anything with wheels, push chair, rotator. Very little smooth surfaces. Cafe isn't too bad, nothing special. Disabled drivers even with a BCP permit have to pay despite saying its valid in all pay and display car parks.
