I come to Langtons Park often and have such an amazing bond with the two swans here — they are so beautiful The park itself is really beautiful, with lovely green spaces, and it also has a gorgeous wedding venue. It’s such a peaceful, magical spot, made even more special by the swans because I hug them

It was somewhat clinical after its refurbishment but has gradually become more natural. A beautiful retreat with a lovely lake surrounded by trees and flowers. A haven to wildlife too with the obligatory ducks, geese, occasional swans and several terrapins, even an occasional cormorant. There's also a café and playground nearby.

Absolutely wonderful place for a day out with kids. Not only you get to experience beautiful gardens and architecture, you can enjoy the woodland bit, see baby swans, have a picnic or grab a lovely hot drink and a bone baked muffin from the cafe on the site as well ( Liana’s Cafe in The Courtyard ). Very picturesque and relaxing. Also - a gorgeous wedding venue.
