Woodland walks and a huge mowed playing field for activities . The major problem is depending which way the wind is blowing is the smell from the sewage works!

Only tend to go on Sunday and it's nice and quiet not very big but you can walk all around the field through woodland

Lots of open space and fields for the dogs to have a good run around, ample parking and a gated woods for the dogs to go exploring in. Couple of bins in the parking area , and doesn't tend to be too busy, as people separate out across the field if needed. Just across the other side of the field is Norton Priory which is a lovely walk through the grounds itself. Looks gorgeous, lots to smell for the dogs, especially around the orchard area. Highly recommend the two!

Council run Playing Fields with football pitches for open age and junior teams,changing rooms are available but the opening times and days vary,the pitches can get bumpy and need marking more often, and be aware of uncooperative dog owners who don’t clean up after their pooches.
