Really enjoyed Larping with Lorien Trust here. The entertainment was fab The venue was lovely There were plenty of porta loos that were reasonably kept There were a several places to buy food & drink or tipples The bell tents most use add to the ambiance & feel of the entertainment. The event itself was very structured and the communication about this easy to follow, especially on thier social media (I follow on Facebook) The cost of tickets I think we're readable for the whole weekend. Would definitely go back for one of their events. The park itself is large and very picturesque. I think they do many events here.

Locko Park: A new location for us. A nice, pleasant walk, pretty much flat the whole route. Parking is street side either side of the path. You can park near ‘Dogs are us’. It’s safe and has a few parking spots. The walk goes passed the lake, woodland areas and also the Manor House. The majority of land is private and not accessible but the areas you can walk are nice. It’s a straight path not a circular route, therefore you walk from one end and back again. 💫

Absolutely huge, I went today for a Viking festival and didn’t see the whole park definitely would come back on a normal day to explore! Did get to see the lake and plenty of ducks in there to feed! Lots of parking and very accessible

Went to see the viking festival. Just a wonderful day out. There was a beer tent run by stagger inn who had lots of choice. The battles were spectacular and it was a well run event. Lots for children to see and get involved in. Perfect day out. X

Nice walk through the estate, goes from Locko Rd Spondon through the estate to Dale Rd. Near Dale Abbey.

Having this place on your doorstep is absolutely fantastic! With plenty of routes available, my favourite is: right at the end of the lake, down the lane (with the cottage at the end), carry on passed that, then through the trees and take a left. This will lead into another walkway.

We go LARPING here 4x per year. I have been going for the last 7yrs now.

Scenic place but not much to do. Can have a long walk or run alongside a lake.

Sort of open to the public, but not fully open. It's essentially private land, people actually live in the house; therefore, you obviously can't go in it; however, the land surrounding it is open to the public... providing you stick to the path/road. It has a Chatsworth House feel to the grounds and is remarkably peaceful and quiet...but that's about it, there's no toilets, no café, no parking so if you're after that kind of stuff your better off going elsewhere. The history of the grounds is absolutely fascinating with records dating back to the Doomsday book of 1086, well worth looking into.

L. A. R. P. event there. Big open space where you can take your whole family and never have to worry about the kids getting lost. Good, private venue for events like this. On the other hand, they supply water and nothing more. You have to take care of everything else and the place has to be left spotless when you leave........ or else. In addition, restrictions on usage have got more and more stringent year by year until it is starting to impact the event itself and make it not quite as much fun as it used to be. Considering we've been coming here for many years, now, and several times per year, I'd have hoped our group merited a little more give-and-take by now.

Such a beautiful walk within well kept grounds. Peaceful and picturesque and would be lovely for a picnic although we did not see any restrooms.

Great place to walk the dog. Our visit was for the Viking event. Brilliant

I wasn't there to view the gardens or walk the dog - I was attending the Lorien Trust LARP and it was great! Lovely location, fantastic player base and ref team, plus good amenities - they did well on keeping the ample loos clean and had an excellent array of food on site, they even had a shower block. It's a wonderful place to be.

Stunning location and grounds visited for the Viking festival this weekend.

Nice place for a walk but mostly road walking and dogs on lead only. It's beautiful for sure but quite short walking . Would be great for little ones on scooters etc as good smooth road and relatively few cars as private estate. No facilities as not that type of park . You can walk beyond park onto other footpaths so you can make it a longer walk . Not much parking and it's on road mostly but free.

Beautiful place. Visited for an event and was impressed with the set up even due to the weather. Only issue Is that the one way system does not seem enforced.

A lovely park with some great old trees,you can walk to Stanley Village which is a nice walk.It also has a large lake with various wildlife.
