What visitors say
A lovely place for a walk, especially with dogs. It is nice and shady with lots of trees, with playgrounds for children and a lake for those that like to fish. There are at least three walking trails you could follow. There are clean toilets, parking spots and a Visitor's Centre with helpful staff.

Beautiful and relaxing walk. You’ll see wild deer if you’re lucky. Lots of squirrels and birds. Best place for solo walks and family picnics. There is a kids play area too and toilet facilities.
