Majority of Park is lovely with accessible well maintained paths suitable for disabled access and prams . Significant Fly tipping issue at lower end. Be mindful that dogs off leads are permitted with exception arrange fishing lake.

It's beautiful and a lovely walk for the most part. Shame about all the rubbish littered everywhere?! Shouldn't the council be managing this?! My son is thrilled that he can go fishing here 😃

Good for meeting other dog walkers. Dogs are allowed off lead but must be on a lead by the lake if anglers are present. Plenty of poop and litter bins and lots of wildlife. There are information boards about the history and wildlife. The Parc is looked after by a group of volunteers and they do a great job.
