    Thanks to the hard work of volunteers the lodge is looking it's best. The survival of the terrapin after quite a hard winter is wonderful news and the arrival of a new pair of swans is exciting news.

    Superb place to go & take a dog for walk meeting up with other dog owners. Remarkable place to take young children for them to see & feed the Birds especially the Swans. On occasion's you may see Fishermen Fishing at the the Pond. Which is nice to see especially when they are with the Children. Could do with more Litter Bins. Bestest

    Well kept and looked after. Great for walking the dog and feeding ducks

  • 5/5 KAREN W. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely place to walk your dog can be a little muddy in the winter months. Pathways around the lodge are good they're always maintained and local people tend to keep a lookout for litter when in the area.

  • 4/5 Kathryn W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little area for a short walk if you live nearby. Not worth a drive to though due to its size.

    A very nice cosy pond with lots of ducks and swans chirping around and quite a peaceful place with loads of benches to sit and enjoy.

    Lovely spot in the middle of a quite estate, no traffic background noises, beautiful lilies in the pond and the local heron paid a visit too. Going back soon.

  • 3/5 Maggie S. 3 years ago on Google
    Only saw 1 bin, there were a couple of benches, no toilets, lake is only small and paths need some maintenance. Nice place to walk the dog but only small, not much litter.
