Good for an evening stroll but beware the masses of dog poo just left on the paths. Not ideal if you are out with youngish children as we were. Plenty of waterfowl to see but again beware the geese who can be aggressive especially if they think you have bread/ food for them Grandson was terrified when they came out of the water honking at us.

The visitor centre is not open to the general public, however, the dog friendly Tree Tops cafe is...! (open Weds to Sunday) There are public toilets available, including disabled with baby changing facilities. As you can see from the photo, definitely not "filthy"....

5/ 5

An amazing little countryside oasis right in the middle of the city, plenty of varied places for a good walk and plenty of wildlife to see. Popular with casual and serious walkers and interesting to watch the boats, model boats and model aircraft. If you fancy a nice short walk with the kids, or fancy covering a good few miles there is plenty here.
