## What visitors say

[vivian yip](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104845344638408278121/reviews) ★★★★★

We visited Whisby Nature Park for the SSPP art exhibition at the café, and it turned out to be a lovely afternoon. It was a warm Friday, and the whole park felt peaceful and relaxing. After visiting the exhibition, we enjoyed a leisurely walk around the lake, taking in the beautiful scenery and quiet surroundings. Parking was easy, with plenty of spaces available. It cost £3 for a parking session, which gave us more than enough time to explore the park at a relaxed pace. A great place to unwind, enjoy nature, and spend a few peaceful hours away from the hustle and bustle.

Beautiful nature reserve with several small loops to do (takes a couple of hours to do them all). A few bird hides dotted around, and a cafe with toilets at the entrance. Parking cost £3 in March.
