The paths through the park are best when dry a few days. Can get mucky in the shaded sections after rain.

This is an excellent, cyclist and walker friendly, café but it can get busy at the weekend so if you are part of a large group it can be worth phoning ahead to see if they can accommodate you. Very, very worth visiting though!

Fabulous open road with lovely smooth tarmac. Occasionally you'll find some pretty tree-lined sections. It's a great scenic and quiet alternative to Kingston Road, which runs parallel to the west.

A great mix of grassland, broadleaf trees, a well maintained central pond with great views over the surrounding countryside. Many of the trees at this location have been adopted, sponsored or commemorated by local people making this true community woodland. A lovely place to stop for a cuppa if you bring your own.
