Walked this lovely little park to try and keep the dogs in the shade. It was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. Lots of sculptures to discover and, we even managed to spot a live deer. We rounded the trip off at Hetty's, a delightful little cafe.

Excellent place to unwind, take a walk or exercise your dog. £2.50 for carpark, all day. Clean toilets and a place to grab a coffee and snacks. Trails are not long, circular 1.6 miles, flat easy walking, well maintained pathways. Interesting sculptures along the way.

A beautiful place to walk the dogs with wooden sculptures around the different routes. This was very well marked so you could follow your chosen trail. The paths are well maintained with no obstructions. It was peaceful with signposted of details of the area and animals. Highly recommend for dog owners as they are able to be off lead

Went here during half term and expected it to be busy. But very quiet and tranquil. Beautiful walks and very cool. Definitely worth a visit and the kids will enjoy. Walk took about 40 to 60 minutes with the children. Lots of places to sit. Lovely benches all around.. makes it nice to sit and watch the birds fluttering in and out of the trees.

Lovely place to have a a walk around with dogs/kids. Not a huge place but wondering through the various paths can easily fill an hour or more. Kettles T shop is ideally placed in the main car park (£2.50 all day) and toilets available there as well. Lots of squirrels and birdsong, look out for various art installations. Overall a lovely wooded walk.
