    Lovely boxing day walk!

    Our family enjoyed a lovely walk around the park, seeing seeing and enjoying the scenery. We were able to keep to dry paths which were also great for pushchairs, scooters and bikes. We'd be happy to visit again.

    Nice park

    Cafe could be a lot better, but it’s not really making much effort. Park run on Saturday morning so good to avoid then.

    Easy walk over the suspension bridge to the estate - no distance and probably the best idea as the traffic is normally heavy and parking a nightmare....I always walked there for the balloon fiesta, quicker than driving
