Something for everyone. Families, runners, cyclists, couples or a mindful walk by yourself. It's got toilets, cafe and ice-cream van. Parking is cheap but I suggest you get there before lunch time as it fills up quick. It has a flat walk around the water. Active activities on the walk round as well as a kiddies play area. Trails leading off to various places including some ruins

This was a lovely park to visit even during the rain, able to be found just off the main road. Large lake is beautiful which portions of the grassland spread out into and the trees mark the skyline across there; there is short trees we walked by on the path that eventually lead on to a small woodland section!
