Our first time here. Unfortunately we didn't check if the cafe/visitor centre was open (not in a Monday!) but nevertheless we had a lovely walk with our 2 little dogs and we'll definitely be back.

A wonderful country park. It has some great walks along the river. Additionally there is plentiful park and a big playground. The toilets and cafe were being renovated when we visited but there were still facilities to use.

Great woodland area, lots of lovely paths and walks, playground and climbing boulders for young ones. Popular with dog walkers and cyclists.

Amazing little place to have a wonder. The trails are spectacular and so clean from rubbish and dog mess. There's various different places to paddle and splash about in the stream. Little play park is great too, but only downside was that there wasn't enough baby swings

A nice little not too strenuous walk which only takes about an hour. The visitors centre was closed when we went and there didn't seem to be any maps to guide you. It cost £2.50 to park for 2 hours
