What visitors say
Good place to go bit different with all the works going on on the site you now have to get a parking ticket as you go in through the barrier we use to be able to park with the blue badge but I don't think you can anymore as we paid for the parking. We a good time walking the dog and the kids running off steam nice on a good day with a trail to follow a go ape course and a couple of play parks

Nice country park with a few different walking routes depending on how far you want to go. Can also walk down to the river and the water meadows. Even saw a muntjac on our walk. Will be back in the summer to rent a BBQ space

A five star ⭐️ place Beautiful woodland park with tall trees, peaceful trails, and a really calming atmosphere. It’s a great place for a relaxing walk, taking photos, or just enjoying nature. The treetop adventure course also looks like a lot of fun if you’re feeling adventurous. Just one tip: don’t visit on a rainy day unless you’re ready for a muddy experience — the paths can get very messy and you might regret what happens to your shoes… and your dress 😜 Overall, a lovely place for a quiet escape into nature.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Itchen Valley Country Park is a fantastic place for a family day out. The woodland walks are beautiful, and the wooden play trail keeps the kids entertained all the way round. The Go Ape Treetop Adventure is brilliant too and adds even more fun if you’re after something a bit more adventurous. A lovely, well-kept park with plenty to explore – we always enjoy coming back. Highly recommended!
