We had a really nice time here as a family. We had a nice walk. We fed the ducks and fish. The toddler loved it.

Went here this morning for a short walk. Quite impressed, the paths were built well no flooding at all (in February). No dirt or mud build up making it easy to walk around. Lots of space for sport activities. Great for dogs or runners. Looking forward to return!

Lovely little nature reserve spread across 2 areas either side of the road. One side is the car park, which is free, and woodland walk and the other has the two lakes and a nice walk up the hill. Perfect for getting out in the fresh air with the family and dogs, if that's your thing. Otherwise just a nice stroll for a couple of miles.

Gorgeous little nature reserve with great views at the top of the hill. There's a pretty little orchard with blossom in the spring as well as a big pond.

Wide variety of trees and shrubs plus lots of wildlife to see in & around the lakes too. There's a small car park on school lane if you need it but most Cambourne residents can easily walk to it from home.
