Visit websiteView menuLovely country walks especially knowing you are in a city. Only down side for visitors, is very easy to get lost. It could do with some sign for the various routes throughout the park
Great place for easy walk, we spotted various animals and enjoyed the view around the trail. There also several trailing option, you can choose for a short, medium, or long walk. However, some track is quite muddy and need extra effort to pass it.
Quite disappointed. We didn’t find the way through the woods very well marked but did like the trees. The Hides themselves are not very nice , the first Hide was grotty and had a lovely decorative shopping trolley, the second one was not very nice to sit down in and watch the birds. Dog poo everywhere, so you have to walk looking down, just in case. Massive pile of Horse poo right outside one of the Bird Hides. The long wagonways might be good for walking dogs but we found them very boring to walk, you mostly can’t see anything in either direction. The only nice view we had was spolit by a Pop bottle which somebody had obviously lobbed over to get it there. Service was very slow at the cafe but their coffee and scones were very good - just watch out in sunny weather for all the Wasps if sitting outside - manic.
First time here last Thursday with my fiancé, we looked it up and decided to go here for a walk and it was absolutely lovely, great walks around the river, pond and plenty animals to see aswell. There's 3 different routes we did the blue route and loved it, we will definitely be back so we can go to the bird hide 🐦 free parking aswell bonus and there's playground for kids and a cafe too, I'd definitely recommend it
Good access and clearly signed paths make for an easy walk with lots of information boards to enlighten and educate. There is ample parking and a cafe and play area. Staff in the cafe were pleasant and the food was good and reasonably priced, but the arrangements are a bit odd. There is a microwave to heat up your own scones ( not sure what else). Seating was limited because staff were mopping the floor (even when it got busy).
