Awful, first greeting is a sign saying you are being monitored, second greeting is pay and display £2.30 per hr, this is Easter holidays and the park is empty, no wonder greedy scum council,

Beautiful and large area to wonder around, please note you may barely get the mobile signal, so if you are a ‘Always online’ kind, not a place. But it is a nice serene place to wonder around along with your kid, family and pets. There is a great cafe house and two large parking area for you. Parking is not free. I will recommend to visit to this place with your friends and families and you may have a small picnic too.

A really great place to take the dogs for a walk. There are plenty of different trails to take whether you're just wanting to go for a short stroll or prefer to go on a longer walk. There's a wide range of scenery including woodlands, lakes, meadows and even a Gruffalo trail of you're going with the kids.
