    240 acres to explore and enjoy. Paths follow the river Cray with Five Arches bridge and further down Penny Farthing Bridge. Very popular with dog walkers, but be aware not all of them clean up after their dogs. There is free on road parking nearby.

    A lovely meadows to get a long walk in beautiful surroundings. Playground is good and looked after. Has a wooden part to explore. Has a slow river and 5 arches bridge with lots of swans, ducks and geese. Locals are so lucky to have this place. Met lots of dogs off and on lead.

    It has meadows, a stream(river), a lake for wild fowl, a playground for the kids and a small wood. Fairly flat, but, mostly unpaved footpath, is reasonably sized for a 30-60 minute walk/dog walk. Not busy when I went. No cafe.

    Amazing park. Lots to see. Bridge woods parakeets. Unusual geese. Swans doing a ritual Dance before mating. Never seen before but it was magical. A clean steam and river. Very popular. 2 car parks. The small one was free. I font know about the other. Huge park . Lots of dog walkers and dogs. I didn't see a toilet but I never got to see all of it.

    This is one of the most beautiful parks I’ve visited in a while. Large fields surrounded by old trees, a gorgeous park for dogs and families to enjoy, hidden away from city/suburban life. The bridge and nature area are stunning, we saw so many varieties of birds! The river is also amazing, with trout and ducks swimming in it. Would highly recommend a visit for a day our or even for a short walk.

    One of my favourite locations & amazing for forest walks. The bridge is an absolute gem to visit & I’d never thought any of this existed before I found this. I came here with a friend & we followed the stream up to the bridge in the meadows on a warm day. We followed the trail up on the side of the bank & found the bridge. You could also hear the water rushing through underneath the bridge & just was amazing to find.

    Lovely big space with a river running though it... Also called 5 arches due to the amount of arches in the main bridge. My dog loves it here, big fields and loads of wooded areas to explore

    Beautiful place to walk. Has a Beautiful place to Park. And go for a walk with your dog. The only critisism is that you should have toilets. My wife needed to go toilet urgently and did the know where to go.

  • 5/5 Cara C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning place, so happy I found this gem! Tranquil, beautiful big open space with the stream you can swim in. Perfect for a picnic or walking. Free parking space outside but be careful not to go through the automatic gate that’s sometimes open! And please pick up after your rubbish and be considerate of others

    Great scenery and the kids love to feed the ducks and the swan.if people behave accordingly,this place would look amazing all the time. Lovely walk along the river and there's a playground at the end of the park too.

    Delightful evening walk, great place for kids. Lots of wildlife and the blackberry bushes are full to bursting this year.

    Good clean basic accommodation. Hosts very friendly and welcoming. Service good for the bar and meals. Cleaner busy but had clean sheets and towels twice in the week and room cleaned well. Would have liked some variation to the music at the bar but it wasn't too loud so not too much of a problem.

    Very English beauty spot ... slow flow river swans ducks and meadows ... popular with children splashing at the small weir under the five arch bridge. .. dog walkers and horse trails make for plenty of spots for a picnic or slow Sunday after dinner walk. Lots of cycle trails too me and my Son cycle there ... 🌿🌳🌴🌲🚲
