Lovely walks with woods, fields and a small play area. Free parking at the car park near the church. This time of year (April) there are some gorgeous cherry blossom trees lining the path by the church.

A great place to have a walk especially with kids or dogs. Area for dogs to be off lead & places where they need to be on. Kids play area. There is paid parking at a small car park nearby or you can park on The Ashford Road for free & walk along several paths in to the park. There used to be several carved wood sculptures but some have now rotted away but it still has a few features.

Lovey little space for a dog walk, plenty of parking, not lots people so it dog could go off lead, and a lovely coffee truck with a nice lady running it.

Such a nice quiet woods with carvings trails and walk up to local church which i think is quite old. The woods got funded by local organisations and company's. Many of the trees and plants are dedicated to people that have passed. Nice touch. There is a gym trail with wooden equipment.

I love going here, a place to escape. Take the kids and enjoy the park and fields or go alone and enjoy the peace!
