    Small interesting park in Luton

    Went there with some friends. Interesting place, very relaxed, even in the winter was worth checking out. An older house and lovely grounds, something for everyone. Lots of places for the kids to play, plenty of good photo ops also.

    We started the visit with a coffee and scone, as you do. A good start that set us up for over three hours of wandering around - and we didn't visit every corner. Take one of the included maps with you and we had the...More
