A café offering a range of local food including hot beverages, coffee, tea, ice creams and traditional favorites alongside contemporary menu options.
Overall a very nice place, massive area of greenery, nice and big play area with loads of things for kids to play, all in great and working condition. Plenty of seating around outside the park area. Parking was ample and about £3.80 for a full day on a bank holiday
Called in on bike ride as I need a stop and cafe is smart and has plenty of seating. There is a good menu and the food and drinks was very good . Toilets at the rear of the cafe. Good size carpark but I did not see the cost of parking. The tower is just down the road from the cafe. Cafe I plan to us if I am out riding that way.
This is a lovely place for all the family. Dog walkers, families with small kids, walkers alike. The country park is 52 acres and is located right at the end of West Malling high street, the entrance to the car park being opposite the St Leonard Tower. A fair sized car park with pay and display (or use of the Ringo parking app). Charges £2 a day Mon to Friday, £3 weekends and bank holidays. Up from the car park is the cafe which serves food and hot drinks at reasonable prices. Seating provided under cover and in the open - additional umbrellas too. The site map board is right by the cafe and the cafe also has toilets for public use. The park itself has a children’s play area, climbing frames, swings etc, all surrounded by a fence. There is a large grassed field which was cut and well maintained. Plenty of room for playing games with the kids or throwing the ball for the dog. The park asks that dogs are kept under close control - doesn’t say must be on leads - though they prefer leads by the lake where the ducks, coots and swans live. The cafe also sells bird food to feed the ducks with. Plenty of directed walks around the site. One goes alongside the lake and we were able to walk the length and see the ducks and their ducklings as well as the nesting swan in the reeds. A walk around the perimeter of the whole site took about 25 minutes and was about 1.5 km. Easy walking, purpose paths and groomed meadow paths. Really serene and enjoyable walk, not so many people walking around the further meadow paths, more around the play park and lake. Lovely views around the Kent countryside. A country park well worth visiting. Has everything for a family day out, a dog walk or an afternoon country stroll with a coffee and s sake at the end. One of Kent’s best.
Beautiful park with pay and display carpark £1.40 per day and you can pay by pay by phone app, the cafe and toilets are combined by the carpark with outdoor bench and table seating. Pleasant and helpful staff, with dog treats on the menu. Fenced play area for the kids, benches at various locations around the park. Can be muddy and slippery after rain wear strong boots. Have to keep the dog on the lead while walking through areas with cattle in and watch where you step, cow pats everywhere. The lower part of the park has a stream leading to a lake with wild birds nesting, large houses overlooking the path. Woods and open grassed areas, well worth a visit
Manor Park Country Park - 25/02/2018 Maybe the closest country park to a town I have visited. Walking distance from West Malling high street, sits this all rounder of a country park. Plenty of parking, particularly on this sunny but cold winter day. A lovely stroll around the field found. Then this little stream lead us all the way to the lake at the side of the round into town. A great place for a quiet Sunday walk. The Good; Great little care of site. Toilets. Good access walkaways. Nice little park near cafe. The Bad; Exact change for parking £2 on Sundays. £1.30 during week. Cafe couldn't give change for car park. Muddy in the winter away from the walkaways.
