Lovely place to go for a walk. Nice car park with plenty of spaces. Good signage of the different pathways you can take including horse trail and nature trail.
Has toilet facilities and a big play park for kids.
There were a good few benches dotted about on the pathway I chose to venture on which was nice to sit and enjoy the flowing water beside the pathway.

Nice big car park and lovely walks with dog around the estate. Just lacking a cafe but has toilets and plenty bins to get used dog bags into. Is a kids playground too and plenty areas could have a picnic.

Great park for walking with dog and toddler. It has a car park and toilet block. Came here for autumn walk and we took a longer route (yellow). Got some muddy patches so definitely wear your wellies. The route is not signposted very well so have to depend on the phone/map but it is quite flat so all routes probably lead you back to the car park. We mainly followed the horse trail sign and came to the wildflower meadow and found the abandoned house and the play park. The play park is nice and small with lots of tables and bins around. Children seem to enjoy it. Overall a nice park for an easy stroll to get some fresh air and nice scenery.

I live just down the road from here and I walk my dog here nearly daily but ever since they tried to fix whatever they've also destroyed the pathways that aren't always known to the public and doing so has really saddened the experience of walimg here daily. The paths are full of tire tacks and the piles of mud that fot brought up. There's rubbish from the precast and other companies that have worked around the area. It's disappointing to see such a beautiful place not been cared or looked after and only the places that the media sees gets attention.

We love spending time here as there are plenty of nature trails to venture onto & streams for your pooch to cool down in. Great for this time of year and the hot weather we've been having lately. My gorgeous and very playful 1th old GSD baby boy never wants to get back into car. He'd play outside 24/6 if he could. He wants to play with anything and everything that moves. Bless his baby, yet SUPER size paws 🐾🦮❤️

Nice wooded country park.
Good sized car park with nice toilets.
There's a map on the noticeboard in the car park. Take a photo to refer to during a walk.
The paths near the car park are tarmaced but most are gravel, or earth and can be quite uneven. Best to wear walking boots as there's some muddy parts.
The lay of the land isn't just flat, with undulating areas. No steep climbs.
It's popular with dog walkers, but people are evidently considerate as we didn't see any dog meds. (Thank you!)
Nice place for a short walk. We enjoyed it. 😎👍👍👍👍

Pleasant tree lined pathways - quiet with plenty of parking.
Better signage of pathways would have been useful but having to walk further than intended did us no harm !

Plenty of walks with a mixture of hard surfaces for wheelchairs and buggies and small paths and horse tracks. A variety of woods and open places. Great place to take children for a run around, climb trees and play
