The Grade II-listed site also encompasses Worden Hall and its historic outbuildings, offering insight into the estate's rich heritage dating back to at least 1230. Additional facilities cater to diverse visitors: a café for refreshments, craft centre for creative activities, dog wash facility for pets, and public toilets throughout the grounds.

Great park been coming here for 20 years and it's always been maintained. The café is amazing and really make this a great park. The car park can sometimes be a struggle if the overflow isn't open. My dog loves it here and it even has a wash off station for them after they get mucky. The walk at tbe bottom of the park is the best for the dogs as they can go in the water .

Beautiful park. The walled garden is always nicely planted. Well maintained. The cafes are good. If you like to feel like you're living dangerously you can walk on the train lines.

Large park with lots of amenities and parking. Cafe, small bespoke shops, children's play area, miniature train etc. My dog and I enjoy walking through the woods, and he loves playing in the stream. There are often a lot of off leash dogs, and some irresponsible owners. Car park is now chargeable. Closes at dusk every evening.

Lovely walk through Worden Park with the family. Beautiful weather today, and the park was equally beautiful, with all its flowers in bloom. Glad to see the park clean and tidy as always. We will be definately be revisiting throughout the summer!
