This Park is one of the most beautiful parks we’ve been to! There is a lovely lake a quiet walk through a small forest, lovely open grass and breathtaking view from top, ideal for a picnic. There is also a Hardwick hall hotel so you can stay in this place for a few days as well! There is a giant play area for older kids and it’s well worth a visit

Amazing free play park with lots of different areas and some interactive bits suitable for all ages. Huge play tower, 2 ziplines and musical parts. Amazing trails through woods and lovely lakes to walk around. Could easily spend the day here. Reasonably priced car park, also equipped with EV chargers which was a bonus. Cafe was currently closed and under construction/refurb but little replacement cafe does the job. Excellent and clean facilities.
