What visitors say
Lovely lake walk with seating at regular intervals disabled frendly some tarmac areas but mostly on undulating hardcore. Nice views, pay to park with free disabled bays with blue badge and time card. Dog walk area with balls for the dogs to play with, good luck getting them off the dog afterwards. Toilets block with step free access and disabled toilet, drinking water for the dogs. Nice cafe with outdoor seating. Access to other lakes in the park are blocked from the carpark as the bridge has been removed due to structural failure, wooden fence stopping access, so you can only use the lake by the cafe under the railway under pass. Fishing spots around the main lake. A fenced off small fishing lake is for permit holders only and has no access for visitors. We'll worth a visit even with the other lakes blocked off.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit! The lakes, woodland walks, and peaceful surroundings make it the perfect escape into nature. Everything is clean and well maintained, with plenty of space for walking, cycling, picnics, or simply relaxing and enjoying the scenery. The wildlife is wonderful to watch, and it’s a great place for families, dog walkers, and anyone looking for some fresh air. We had a lovely time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

A lovely area to walk but frustrating at the lack of signage. Meeting friends, we enjoy a walk round and then like to walk into Tonbridge for lunch. But you'll get a sign pointing to Tonbridge and then get to a fork and then nothing. Phone signal can be a little poor, so mapping tricky. And one guy's directions were the wrong way! We joke that it's like entering the Twilight Zone. Better signage around the park is definitely needed. But a peaceful place to walk around the lake. A cafe offering light bites and refreshments, toilets onsite by the entrance, a kids playground and a decent amount of parking (Ringo App £2.50 for 4 hours). But I've dropped a star for the lack of signage to Tonbridge.

I walked round it at night and got photos of the lake at night. There is also a play park with swings,slides and zip lines.
