Weald Country Park is a spectacular 520-acre country park in Brentwood, Essex, offering families a diverse range of outdoor activities and attractions. The park features the official Stick Man sculpture trail, inspired by Julia Donaldson's beloved picture book, where visitors can discover six character sculptures set within beautiful natural surroundings. The 1.4km trail is perfect for families with young children and trail maps are available from the Wiggly Bush Cafe or downloadable online. The park's centrepiece is its historic deer park, dating back to the 12th century. Visitors can get up close to the resident fallow deer herd in the dedicated enclosure and feed them using the provided chutes—deer and duck food is available for purchase at the cafe. Beyond the deer park, the landscape encompasses diverse habitats including woodland, wildflower meadows, open grassland, and lakes, creating excellent opportunities for wildlife spotting and nature exploration. Families will appreciate the well-maintained facilities including a dedicated kids' play area, accessible surfaced paths around the lake, and picnic spaces throughout the park. The Wiggly Bush Cafe provides refreshments and is open daily (Sunday-Monday 9:30am-4pm, Tuesday-Saturday 9am-5pm). The park welcomes dogs and pushchairs, making it accessible for visitors of all ages from newborns onwards. Additional features include fishing opportunities (with appropriate permits), a Pete Wicks Dog Walking Trail, and a Green Flag Award recognition for its outstanding standards.

Excellent for outing with family . Kids will enjoy by feeding ducks and deers. Food for them are available at caffe for n1.5 pound each. Lots of place to walk and woods also available to walk around. Lake view is good and seating option near lake also provided.

While the park offers a beautiful setting for family relaxation and includes a functional playground for small children, I’ve rated it three stars due to the lack of amenities. The parking is strictly paid via MiPermit/Machine, which is worth noting for visitors. Additionally, the park has great potential for further development introducing boating or other water-based activities on the lake would be a fantastic improvement.

Beautiful park! Perfect for walking with the dog! Lots of open green spaces, and the fallow deer are wonderful to see! Really lovely place to take children as towards the top, there are sheep as well as lots of hares running around. Parking isnt the cheapest but readily available. The toilets were very clean! Only issue is that the first time I went, the cafe only had filter coffee and the second time, they weren't even open. But at least they allow you to walk in with your dog unlike Thornton. Just be aware that if you had a dog breed with high prey drive, you need to be on top with recall as the deer are literally everywhere 😅

A very nice park for a Spring day walk. Some good large play equipment for kids and walk for the dog along well-established paths. Car parking, shop and toilets in close proximity. Picturesque views of the landscape and the lake. Only thing to improve it is more selection in the cafe.

What a lovey place to go and walk around. The cafe is lovely and the staff was friendly plus welcoming. The food there was great and the got drink was great. In the cafe you can buy the duck feed and you can also buy the Deer feed at a good price. Then walking down to the lake was a lovely walk U C so many animals and they get close to you when I say close you can put you hand on the head. The only downside I have to say is the pricing on the car park for the price for a couple of hours was crazy.
