A real gem in Ulverston. Easy to access by both car and public transport, which made the visit stress-free. We enjoyed a lovely day out during the summer, with beautiful scenery and great views of the lighthouse. You can really tell the community takes pride in the park. There’s a brilliant playground for children, surrounded by orchards, and plenty of nature trails to explore. The colourful nursery is a joy to browse, and the café is a perfect spot to relax afterwards. A wonderful place for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking for a relaxed day out.

Lovely little park. Outdoor gym and play area. At the end of the park is a lovely walled garden that you can walk around, and there is a cafe. Carry on ahead and walk up to the monument if you are feeling energetic. Great views on a clear day, we managed to spot Blackpool Tower.
