Reviews
"This is a great place for a bit of outdoors. Great for kids with 2 playgrounds (one by the cafe aimed at younger kids, one by Go Ape for older kids) plus activities through the woods, including climbing, bird watch spot and mud kitchen. Plenty of parking, though remember to Pay AND Display (despite putting in your reg no)... or use RingGo. The cafe offers good basics. Some things a bit pricey but thankful it's there. Also a small soft play area in there, round the side. Toilets are near the cafe, but note the closing times, so you don't get caught out if you plan a last visit before a long drive home at the end of the day. Plenty of choices for walks and refreshing countryside. There's Go Ape too."
"Just a giant dog walking toilet really, poo everywhere. Have taken a picture of one of many fertilised area. Not bike friendly. Won’t be coming back here, not unless we want to do Go Ape as that looked good."
"There's plenty of parking (I went on a Saturday about 11.30am) and the parking prices weren't too bad considering the park was free to enter other than that. We walked around the brown trail but it wasn't obvious where to start from and I think we went the wrong way. There wasn't many posts on the way round to show you were on the right track. The main field area next to the car park was nice and spacious and there's a little playground there if you're taking kids, plus plenty of benches to sit down at. The only disappointing bits were the lack of decent signage about where to start walks and posts showing you are on the right track and that they advertise a river walk on all the signs but it seems you can't do that anymore. Also there is no real path for the meadow walk and the first bridge we came to was questionable to cross on that trail. Overall it was a nice walk, even though we got a bit lost, and we would go again."
"We love to visit for a good dog walk with our friends, as it is enclosed we can let our pups run around and practise recall etc. Beautiful place to explore, especially the bluebell woodlands!"
"Great country park with plenty to do for children and walks for dogs. The car park charges are reasonable too, especially all day. The cafe isn't large, but the food is good and everything is kept clean with plenty of space inside and out to sit. We aren't local, but we go here quite often when visiting and have used the Go Ape on a number of occasions. Would recommend."
