Lovely spot for a wander round the pond! EV charging in the car park and the pub is not too bad either! All good!

A small but lovely park with a pond and plenty of wildlife. No dedicated parking, only at the nearby Jenny Burn restaurant or surrounding buildings. Also, there’s no café, which would have been a great addition. Still a nice place for a short walk and some fresh air.

Its a very small park nowadays. Really on the pond and paths around it. Plenty of wildlife. Snapped deer, a variety of different birds. Its not a day out but if you are looking to spend an hour watching the wildlife and letting time ease by its worth a visit.
