Had the weather for it... Really well maintained grounds and a great walk around the water. Easy going with very little gradients so great for all abilities. Fantastic facilities, coffee shop, toilets, bike racks and car park area. Plenty for kids and great for dog walking. Benches all round the paths for a rest if needed. Really enjoyable morning...!

I recently visited Brixworth Country Park and had such a lovely experience. The whole place feels calm, well cared for, and perfect for a relaxing day outdoors. The atmosphere was peaceful, and it never felt overcrowded, even on a busy day. It’s a great spot for walking, cycling, or just sitting and enjoying nature. The facilities were also very good, and the café was a nice bonus for a quick refreshment stop. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and spend time outside and I’ll definitely be coming back again soon.

Lovely place with clearly signposted walking and cycling trails of different lengths. Well maintained with additional view of the Pitsford reservoir. Benches at various spots for relaxation. Ample open car park spaces with 'Pay on Exit' system. Play areas with swings, sandpit, slides, and wall climbing for young children.

Really great for small children. A few different play parks.we walked around the reservoir,an ideal walk of about 6-7 miles (with my dog). Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend the cafe though, 30 minutes to get 2 hot drinks. Very clean toilets. Car park about £1/ hour
