We had a nice evening stroll along this park's path, which slopes down to a stretch of grass. There are plenty of trees covering the path and other areas of this park; shrubs are neatly laid around the outside of the park accompanied by nice little huts too!
Nice park for an afternoon walk. Plenty of winter interest. Some of the paths are quite muddy but today were frozen solid so it didn’t matter but worth taking walking boots in case. Fresh air and some grand old trees what’s not to like.
Nice large park with lots of amenities and a small lake with ducks and geese. Lots of well kept open spaces good for dog walking and childrens games. Good footpath access round the park for pushchairs and wheel chairs. Plenty of parking with a dog friendly cafe. Ornamental gardens are really well planted ranging from formal displays to rose gardens and inventive borders.There is a nursery shop here too.
We love walking here! There is a lovely playing field and also a mini train. Various people walk dogs here. We walk our cat Monty here most days :)
Nice Park for weekend's outing. Many places for entertainment for children: for sports and funny. The secret garden was especially interesting.
