Great walk around the lake. Park area decent for the little ones too. The ice cream vans must make a fortune 🤣

One of my absolute favorite parks, perfect for escaping the noise of the city and enjoying a peaceful picnic surrounded by nature. It’s also an amazing spot for a refreshing morning run, offering calm paths and beautiful scenery that make every workout more enjoyable. No matter the season or the weather, this park has a special charm that always makes it a relaxing and welcoming place to spend time outdoors.

Something for everyone. Families, runners, cyclists, couples or a mindful walk by yourself. It's got toilets, cafe and ice-cream van. Parking is cheap but I suggest you get there before lunch time as it fills up quick. It has a flat walk around the water. Active activities on the walk round as well as a kiddies play area. Trails leading off to various places including some ruins

A fantastic place for a leisurely dog walk! The views are beautiful and the path is well maintained! There’s a large car park which you pay £2.50 for 4 hours which is very good value! There’s a cafe serving a wide range of food and snacks, plus toilets by the reception. It’s great for dogs and there’s ply of bins along the lake path! There’s a playground and nature trail for kids to keep them interested! Plus a light railway too!
