I've taken my children a few times now, remember the railway is run by volunteers and although it's free donations do help towards the upkeep and running costs. · via Google [Rebecca Halpin-Jones](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102998555221045882057/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely park, just have to check from the night before the play train for Matches chewing gum on the kids seats. They have rebuilt after the fire earlier this year, worth a visit. The miniature railway next door is still closed they used to run it on a Sunday and kids holidays. When it is operating it does a loop of the park, past the pond, adults can go on the train too just stay balanced. · via Google [Vivienne Carlile](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105397381771142486236/reviews) ★★★★★ A lovely place to visit.
