Loving the earlier opening time at 5pm and the new garden menu. So chilled in their garden. Thoroughly recommend an early evening here watching the sun go down with great drinks and a group of friends. Perfect.

Nice open park land. Small free car park and some parking on road close by available. Good for dog walkers, and families out for a stroll. No playground equipment. Good quality coffee van here at popular times or Saturday/Sunday mornings.

Great place to excercise the dogs. Nice mix of woodland and open field. Lots of benches to sit and enjoy the view. Interesting wood carvings

Nice place. Went for a walk with the family. HUGE. Lots of dog walkers. Kids played with a huge dead tree that was lying about. Great for keeping them occupied. I know there's a playground somewhere but didn't have time to find it.

What a beautiful park. It is huge and has many entrances on different estates. There is even a lovely little coffee van there with seating and a picnic area. There is also interesting statues. Very impressed 👏 👌
