It's great living here with such a beautiful natural nature reserve, just been out a walk round it, it was so peaceful and all you could hear was the birdsong and you would never realize you were in the middle of a town.

This a great place to exercise an active dog. It has water, mud, woods and loads of space to run. It is an easy walk for humans as mainly on the flat, but there are lots of paths to walk along so can walk quite a way if you want to. Also the paths are suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Mr Dog loved it.

Good dog walking area, mostly flat and footpaths so good for walkers that don't want to do hills. As clean and tidy as anywhere these days. Plenty of wildlife to watch for and easily accessible.
