"Lovely little shaded wooded area ❤️ with a few cute carvings to see along the way. No toilet's but has the convenience of a little coffee and crepe van making fresh crepes"

"Usually very quiet, polite dog walkers, families taking gentle strolls. Can be very pretty in sunshine and at the beginning of autumn. Pond, is exactly that dirty pond water but every May gosling's make their first appearance. They are beautiful to see. Often a couple of swans make the pond their summer home, beautiful again but hostile. Only let down occasional dog mess in the grass area. Kids section enjoyed by toddlers up to around 10 year olds."
