    Mill Lakes is a lovely park for dog walking. There is plenty of wildlife (ducks, swans, geese and rabbits etc). It is only let down by the proximity to the road where people drive between speedbumps aggressively making a lot of noise. The lake is nice, but occasionally has a dirty film on top of it. Swans are pretty territorial but that's expected. Occasional cyclist but they're normally pretty careful and understanding. You won't see more than 3 or 4 people between 6 and 8am.

    Lovely, easy walks. Beautiful surroundings with an array of waterfowl and fish ... Lots of freindly people and dogs. Very clean. I didn't see any piles of dog poop.

    Great place for long walks, went there a couple of times, and didn't see it all yet. My dog loves to go there to meet new friends,run,play fetch, and come home full of mud..lol Great for kids, there are horses, a massive lake with loads os ducks and swans.

    A big open space however not very maintained and grass overgrown, needs more care to reach its full potential, perfect for hiking, please be careful of nettles and and other prickly weeds when visiting.
