Great for reasons that are unique to me and my, Nomadicness.. Car park has overnight parking but you'll get locked in. There's a road outside too. Quiet during the day, quiet during the night. Large bins close by.
Visited The Chase and really enjoyed the peaceful walk around the lake — such a calm and relaxing spot. There’s plenty of space for picnics, and the café does a nice breakfast too. A great place to unwind for a few hours.
Lots of things to explore from fish ponds, bird sanctuary, nature trails, wooden sculptures to meadows and horses grazing... There's also a good cafe and a playing place for kids. Usually not very crowded for most of weekdays...
Absolutely stunning place to visit. I only got to see a small part of this area. Really would love the time to experience everything. It's been well kept and respected, something that happens less in London with natural parks and areas. The bird singing and flying everywhere really refreshes your mind and eliminates that work life stress. I highly recommend going there for a walk without any contact with anyone for 1 hour, no matter the consequences.
Unexpectedly beautiful place. There are horses running about, be gentle.. and we saw hundreds of wild rabbits at every turn everywhere, we guess because the place has so few people about they feel free to roam. Unfortunately I was so busy watching them I didn't take any photos. Really lovely place to go walking.
