Had a lovely trip here yesterday! Lots of dog walkers and cyclists. Great for off lead dog walking and free parking in Rawcliffe Park and ride car park A in the campervan section.

The park has some open areas and some wooded areas. Unfortunatly some inconsiderate people had left their pets mess in various places which slightly ruins the experience, as well as the fact that there must be an event being run soon as there were big yellow signs up all over the place advising of restricted access or to be careful etc.! For a slightly longer walk you can loop out of the park to the river and back in again. For the younger kids there is also a play area near the entrance, nd those that have bikes there is also a pump track area. If your unfortunate for the wind going the wrong way then the start of your walk might be a little whiffy from the sewage treatment next to the park (as it was on our visit!)
