Lovely park nice place to walk the dogs well maintained

A beautiful place to visit, sit, paint, picnic, walk, sea fish, and so much more. Bring the whole family, including your four legged ones. Enjoy wonderful peaceful moments, where you can do a crossword, or explore the history of the country park. Take a ramble in the woods or get physical on the outdoor gym. It's a love space with wonderful views. Sunsets here are beautiful. Enjoy a snack or a meal at one of the seaside Cafés or visit the parks bespoke little businesses, studios, and planetarium; there's something for everyone. Most of the businesses are close during the winter, but some remain open especially during the half term school holidays. Take a leisurely walk into the beautiful little town of Yarmouth. There are many walks and cycle tracks to explore...taking you along the old railway line to Freshwaters old village, with one of the oldest churches, which is next to the Red Lion public house.

Absolutely loved this place when we are back next year definitely taking the grandkids there.

A shadow of its former glory. Looks rundown. Parts are shut waiting repairs some day. Cafe is very good though.

Easy to find and lots of good free parking. This Old Fort now converted into a super yet simple attraction which begs a visit. We loved the Planetarium and the Shows plus a lovey exhibition including Real Moon Rock. Richard Hooke (an amazing inventor and all round mega brain) exhibition here too from The Hooke Society. All in 2 Adults & 2 Children £20.00 but excellent educational value. Next we visited the Reptiles, insects and Terrapins (Adults £6, Children £4) a fascinating range of spooky reptiles in display settings plus Snakes all explained and described. The 20 or so Terrapins are shown in a big tank and again explained - one of our group especially like watching a Preying-mantis Stick insect dismember and eat a living locust!! Amazing entertainment. We had coffee and a beautiful Blueberry & Lemon cake locally made in the cafe reasonably priced with nice option to sit inside or outside overlooking the Solent. Outside a large green grass expanse to walk or sit on benches watching the craft in The Solent. Afternoon sun would seem to suit this site best. The free loos are small but enough and clean which was noted and appreciated. All in all a very pleasant 4 hours indeed Glad we went SNEEKY TIP - walk 50 meters along shale stone beach to a BEACH BAR for booze (well has to be done)
