it was fantastic. The scenery was beautiful, with well-maintained paths, plenty of open space, and stunning views throughout the route. The park was peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. There was plenty of wildlife to see, and the fresh air and natural surroundings made the experience even more enjoyable.

Such lovely place, never been before. Great views, would love to come back for a sunset and see how its looks. £3 to park your car. There is a nice cafe area with picnic benches and a covered area also. Nice to see the cows roaming around as wasnt expecting to be that close to them lol

Waseley Hills is an amazing location for scenic walks. Plenty of parking available for just £3 for entire day. There are plenty of walking routes available and it is quite dog friendly. Toilets are located inside the vistor centre and they pretty clean. The Windmill café serves reasonably priced food with generous portions, making it a great spot to refuel after a walk. Lovely staff working in the café were very friendly and polite.

Lovely country park. Great for kids and dogs. Beautiful views from the top of the hill. Just one thing I found wooden steps on the rabbit trail very deep and one was bit loose. If you have mobility problems best not to go this way. Cafe sold lovely food and drinks.
