    One of the most beautiful woodland walk I have been so far. If you want to breathe some fresh air and have some quiet time in the nature, you should definitely visit this place. It’s so serene. We come here almost every weekend with our cat as he loves to climb the trees and enjoy the walks. There are also a lot of picnic tables and benches around the path for resting or just sitting peacefully and reading. Dog/Cat friendly walking place with many large and small paths with beutiful spring flowers and birdsongs but also good all year around. There is a small parking place as well which is free!!!!

    I love this country park for its variety of paths and different type of wood. It’s suitable for pushchairs but has got climbing paths too. Great for all the family and dogs. Few benches and tables scattered around. Thousands of bluebells in the spring.

    Nice woods with plenty of decent paths to explore. A perfect place for a relaxing stroll or to take the dog for a quick walk. It can be a bit muddy after heavy rain or during winter so appropriate footwear is recommended 👍

    Great place to walk around and explore. Paths are very muddy in winter, so bring your wellies, but lots of trails to follow. Perfect for dog walking. Love the excavations of the track and old buildings. And if mushrooms are your thing it is brilliant!

    Great family walk. Was nice and quiet when we went, only saw a few other families. Nice little play area with picnic benches to eat and plenty of new benches around the paths to sit on should you need a little rest on you walk. Also its only a 5min drive from Blue water shopping centre so you can make it part of a great day out.

    Great for autumn and winter when ground is wet, as there are proper footpaths through the park.

    Love this place. It's very close to London and you feel like you are a million miles away! There are no facilities but there's plenty to explore with either the kiddos or your 🐕. Heaven on earth us.

    Small but well kept, so let's keep it that way! Very picturesque pond - see my photos. Takes about 45 minutes to do a complete lap of the woods, the long way around. Free parking, but there is donation box.

    Too many dogs and most of them are not on the leashes! Considering over 8000 hospital treatments with dog attacks per year, it wasn't too comfortable to sit at the lovely picnic table!

  • 4/5 Christine H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our dog loves it here. Can always park & just £1 voluntary contribution. Only gripe, no cafe!

  • 5/5 Kay P. 3 years ago on Google
    Only just found out that this place exists! Beautiful woodland walks with pram friendly pathways as well as more natural walkways: it's hard to believe this used to be a clay pit! And parking is just a £1 donation. Definitely worth a visit.

    Not far from Bluewater and easy to find. Fair sized car park. There are a number of paths in this beautiful woodland, the main ones aren't too bad but particularly the lower lying paths can get very muddy. There is an outdoor exercise area and a couple of picnic areas. Not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.

  • 4/5 Sara R. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely place to walk the dog, they are only able to go in one of the three ponds. Convenient for parking, no other facilities, such as toilets. Heading off the main path was slightly over grown, had to weave our way through branches.

    First time here, was a lovely walk with my two dogs

  • 5/5 Wayne S. 6 months ago on Google
    A nice woodlands park with various walks depending on your ability and/or time. Car park is £1 on a honesty system. Great for walks on your own, with family or with the dog 😎

    A good place is a tribute to human potential, where dreams are nurtured, and aspirations take flight. It's a destination that inspires us to set ambitious goals, work diligently toward achieving them, and embrace the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.
