Explore 150 acres of woodland, meadows, and historic landmarks on the Gog Magog Hills with family-friendly trails, dens, and picnic spots.

Wandlebury Country Park is Cambridge's oldest country park, offering families a peaceful retreat across 150 acres of beautiful parkland featuring woods, meadows, and panoramic views. Located on top of the Gog Magog Hills, the park combines natural beauty with cultural heritage, including an Iron Age Hill Fort and 18th-century country estate with a walled garden, orchard, and ponds. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities suitable for all ages and abilities. Families can take long woodland walks or short strolls, build dens, run around the open spaces, and enjoy picnics throughout the grounds. The pop-up café provides refreshment options, while designated areas allow visitors to appreciate the park's peaceful natural environment. Dogs are very welcome on leads, with a dedicated fenced dog run for off-lead exercise. The park is ideal for families with young children (ages 0+) and pushchair users, with free entry and accessible facilities. Special occasions can be celebrated by hiring the paddocks or BBQ areas. Open dawn to dusk every day of the year, Wandlebury is cared for by the local charity Cambridge Past, Present & Future, making it a perfect addition to any Cambridge visit.

Beautiful Country Park, lovely walks and hidden gems to find, including a Dinky Door called The Knight Rider.

Very nice park not far away from home. Just a reminder to cyclists when leaving the park to pay attention to the big bump at the entrance/exit. It might be buried under fallen leaves and tree shadows which is a bit difficult to see. Friend almost fell off the bike with the downhill momentum.

If you’re looking to escape the bustle of Cambridge for a few hours, Wandlebury Country Park is an absolute must. I added this to my weekend itinerary and it definitely didn’t disappoint.

I've just had a lovely walk through nature at the Wandlebury ring. It's full of ancient history and ancient trees. You get to walk through the wild flower meadows, insects all hard working, with the sound of a multitude of wild birds. There are plenty of places to have a picnic. It's full of adventure for your 4 legged friends and wild kids. It's very relaxed and free of rubbish. My mother is in a wheelchair, and some areas can be a bit tricky, but we got around most areas. A great day out
