A beautiful historical park where you can enjoy pleasant walks with your dogs, on your own or with friends and family. You can choose several pathways to follow and even walk by the river Devon. The park is extremely well maintained with plenty of bins. There is also a playground which looks good for children to use. You can also pick up a refreshment and the added bonus of lovely, clean toilets.

Great place to walk the dog plenty of open space. Good place for kids with plenty of space to ride bikes, play football and lots of playpark equipment, larger kids assault course around the park and gym equipment. Paths along the river devon, bridge to The Queens Sconce with cannon sculpture. A nice cafe for a proper mug of tea and cakes.
