About

Picnics are encouraged and there are many tables throughout the Park. There are two large permanent barbecue sites are available for hire for parties.
Walking
A laminated copy of our trail guide can be purchased from the Visitor Centre for 60p. Alternatively, you may wish to download a copy of the trail guide yourself from the website.
The Meadows Nature Trail is approximately 2 miles long and takes you around the historic SSSI Water Meadow where you can still make out the mounds that marked the man-made channels.
The Play Trail is a short walk for the children with play equipment for them to climb on. For a longer walk, try out 2-mile (approx)Totem Trail to try and find the four carved wooden totem poles in various locations around the park.
Our Woodland Nature Reserve is particularly stunning in the Spring when the bluebells are out in the coppiced areas. These are quickly followed by many different wild flowers for you to spot.
For further information please see the website.
