Massive park with plenty of things to do. Farm, boating lake and antique trams. You could happily spend hours there. Shame that the hall itself is boarded up, there is a bit of a litter problem and romantic boat hire is a less sexy £8.50! More

As far as parks go I';ve rated it as as average. But only because there was nothing particularly spectacular about it. As a place to go for space, kids play areas etc its well worth the visit. More

This is a huge park with a really nice manor house and grounds. Great if your want a long walk in the park, also great for children as there is a small farm with lamas and other farm animals. Also on nice days there is usually an icecream van knocking around! More

Brilliant playpark for the kiddies. Little FREE farm with llamas, goats, pigs, ducks, hens, peacocks etc. In the summer there is usually a little noddy train. Lovely lake with ducks to feed at the bottom. Very large playing fields perfect for picnics and games. Brilliant park. More

Loved the fresh air and sunny surrounding. Definitely worth visiting during a bright sunny day! Amazed at the interior design especially the Oak room with brilliant wood carvings (all in one piece, without visible nails). Also loved the display and aroma in the bedroom of the DUke More
