Lovely walk shame on the amount of dog poo in the grass tho. Also parking machine is cash only mon to friday. Weekend parking is free which is great! Nice solid path to walk/cycle along, just a shame about the amount of dog poo, my 3 year old came off his bike onto the grass and was inches from a dog poo.

What a great little find. Only a quick visit but what I did see was lovely. Definitely need to return with the dog! There is a carpark but it is very small, a couple of blue badge spaces but definitely no bigger than a normal space, so could be a bit tricky. Not sure if there is anywhere else nearby to park, will investigate that next visit. No toilets or café. I saw a few benches along my short walk & there's bins for rubbish & doggy poop, so no excuses! Very clean, great paths, can't jwait for our next visit.

A brilliant place to walk your dog. There are designated paths that are great for wheelchairs and buggies. Plus a field just by the childrens woods that is secure enough to let your dog off the lead. Further down,over the canal bridge there is a huge expanse of nature reserve to let your dog run around. Though there are lakes of your dog likes a swim so recall is a must. A wonderful place to visit for little two legs or four. You can also do a circle around along canal, though if it's been raining it may be flooded.

What a wonderful find, lots of hidden families walks and tasks. Loved the nature trail and bug hotels, and walking along the canal. It’s a great few hours in the fresh air. The kids loved it and asked to go again sometime. Car parking is cheap and affordable - takes coins only! Would get 5 stars if it had public toilet facilities.
