So we stumbled upon this place about a week ago while looking at Google maps, searching for places to go to. Didn't really take any notice and today it popped up on my feed so though ok must be faith, let's go and check it out. Followed Google maps which took us to a dead end road. On both sides of the road there's a car park, all of which are free, yeepers!!! We parked in the one on the right. There are lots of wide tracks and dense forest with a variety of trees. It is very quiet and peaceful. On this part of the park there is the occasional horse rider so please be mindful of this if you're having bubbly doggies. It's a big woodland we must have spent about two hours and don't think we walked it all. Then we went across the road to the park opposite as it's the same place and let me tell you now my eyes were like 😳 This place is amazing!!! Firstly you'll see a beautiful lake that you can walk all around by following the pathway. But if you go off that pathway to some of the other ones you'll see that there are few more lakes, all beautiful. The whole park is just wonderfully maintained and just gorgeous 🥰 In this part of the woods there's no livestock either. 🥰 We are definitely going back 🥰 Love it!

Frosty cold day after a couple of days of -3 overnight temperatures left a lots of pathways muddy, frosty and icy but was still very enjoyable on a winters sunny day. Quiet peaceful walk, just what was needed....

I've watched these woodlands mature over the past ~15 years. A mixture of recent plantation, some over mining/quarry spoil heaps and older forest on natural slopes in the north part of the area. Plenty of tracks, paths and mown rides for walking. Thorny bushes, brambles, nettles and dense undergrowth make off-path orienteering less practical/enjoyable. There are no facilities apart from a sheltered car park.

Really enjoyed the relaxed open space to listen to the birds and wander the paths.

Good car park, walk is paved mostly. Lovely.

Nice area for walking. Some of the paths a little overgrown. Needs cutting.👏👍 Great parking areas. A lot of picnic benches and seatings around but the ALL need some maintenance, painting, repairing, leveling.

Peaceful place, ideal for a walk in the nature or a picnic by the pond.

Lovely walk with plenty of things to discover. A little gem of a place. Would be great in the summer so will make it a regular walk from now on. Only negatives are the lack of facilities and other dog walkers. Dogs should not be off lead in a public place- especially dogs with bad recall, which is what we experienced today.

A very pleasant place to go for a walk around. Parking is easy enough and there is a mixture of paths and grass trails

Lovely area spoilt only by the frequent vandalism of the dog bins, benches and gates, by the mindless local cretins of the area
