Lovely lake walk with seating at regular intervals disabled frendly some tarmac areas but mostly on undulating hardcore. Nice views, pay to park with free disabled bays with blue badge and time card. Dog walk area with balls for the dogs to play with, good luck getting them off the dog afterwards. Toilets block with step free access and disabled toilet, drinking water for the dogs. Nice cafe with outdoor seating. Access to other lakes in the park are blocked from the carpark as the bridge has been removed due to structural failure, wooden fence stopping access, so you can only use the lake by the cafe under the railway under pass. Fishing spots around the main lake. A fenced off small fishing lake is for permit holders only and has no access for visitors. We'll worth a visit even with the other lakes blocked off.
I walked round it at night and got photos of the lake at night. There is also a play park with swings,slides and zip lines.
A lovely area to walk but frustrating at the lack of signage. Meeting friends, we enjoy a walk round and then like to walk into Tonbridge for lunch. But you'll get a sign pointing to Tonbridge and then get to a fork and then nothing. Phone signal can be a little poor, so mapping tricky. And one guy's directions were the wrong way! We joke that it's like entering the Twilight Zone. Better signage around the park is definitely needed. But a peaceful place to walk around the lake. A cafe offering light bites and refreshments, toilets onsite by the entrance, a kids playground and a decent amount of parking (Ringo App £2.50 for 4 hours). But I've dropped a star for the lack of signage to Tonbridge.
Lovely place to visit and walk and just a few hours or to spend the day out, walking, running, or biking, with a shaded, green loop that offers relaxing views of the waters. Wondering around the lakes or the along the rivers brings a lot of joy seeing the wildlife enjoying it. You can walk miles in all direstions around Tonbridge. This park is so close to the town but gives a felling like you are miles away. It’s clean, peaceful and enjoyable.Parking is limited, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Lovely place for a walk/run/cycle. The car park is large and reasonably priced. There are several waymarked walking trails which lead you around the lake and through the woods. There are plenty of benches to take a rest or just soak up the view. There are several footbridges throughout the country park also. There is a 5k park run on Saturdays so the main path around the lake can get busy.
