Dogs are allowed, but the owners don't take care of their dogs. Firstly, they don't follow the law. You can't walk your children there because the dogs aren't muzzled. The dogs are very dangerous, like bull terriers. They poop everywhere. The owners don't look after their dogs. I'm scared to walk my child here. We always went for walks here, but this was the last time.

This used to be a lovely safe park no toilets they've been closed for ages, a small area for picnic. I had to call the police as you've got bloody idiots on motorcycles giving me verbal abuse because I told them no motor bikes allowed in the park 4th June 2026, I'm thinking about safety of others they say their is a park keeper I've never seen them. No fishing they've taken the signs down, no fires are allowed yet the good weather we had their was several barbecues being used should the council decide to close them all public will soon complain

Wheelchair accessible, free carpark at the main entrance to Haden Hill House, gardens and park. There is usually an ice cream van on the carpark too. This is one of my favourite places for a quick and easy, local day out. Enter here for access to the House which is a lovely museum and free to visit, there are also tennis courts, a bowls green, beautiful gardens, woodland walking, ponds, a fishing spot and a kids play area. This is also a great spot for Pokémon Go if you play, we usually spend Community Days here. Lots of winding paths for relaxed walking, and so many perfect hills, steps and circuits which is great for measuring more vigorous exercise. Plenty of benches and spots for picnics too, or just sitting under trees. Some great views across the midlands to Clent and Walton hills. There is an abundance of woodland wildlife here. Squirrels, Ducks, Coots, Woodpeckers etc. The animals are all comfortable with humans and will approach if you’re not too loud. It is a very clean spot with no litter, lots of flowering bushes and flower beds that are all well maintained. Toilets are available inside the museum as well a few toilets just outside the house. Please note these only accessible during museum opening hours unless you have a Radar Key. These times are available on the museums website but change regularly based on time of year and events so I will list these in the additional details section below.

Besutiful always but especially lovely in the winter sunshine. Beautiful scenery and great walks. Lovely early signs of spring today in a later visit than the winter views. There was an interesting outdoor art exhibition too. New since my previous visit: on going work on one of the bowling greens. It looks as though it's going to become a formal garden.
