    Amazing place ! MUST to be, in your visit list, if you come to visit Cambridge! I love this forest/park country park! We’ve spend a full day and we still didn’t see all the park. Is amazing how you can “lost” in nature and is amazing how every time we discover something new. At the moment is a small track that serve hot drinks but also cold drinks like ice coffee, love it. Small fee for the parking, £3.15 for fu day. Amazing space.

    Nice to walk around on a chilly autumn day. High land cows are kind of a bonus especially for kids. A refreshing change of terrain if you live in always-flat Cambridge :) There is a little cafe and seating area.

    Amazing park 🏞️. Very nice for running, for walking, go with family and friends, etc. Just in the beginning you can see how green is everything. I went with a friend and we really enjoyed it. I felt the fresh air of the plants, the nature,the environment. I took deep breath all the time I could and the feeling of that was so comfortable. We could see also Highland cattles what was really cool. There are electrified fences so obviously you can't approach very close to them. This country park is highly recommend! 😎

    It's always a nice relaxing time meandering through Wandelbury Country Park. There are lots of beautiful forestry paths that evolve through the seasons. A leisurely stroll around the woods is usually an hour or so, but lots to explore if you want to spend longer. It's one of the first places that I'd recommend for escaping the city and feeling outside. The car park can get busy, but I have always managed to find a spot, and the park itself rarely feels crowded. The facilities and the park all appear well maintained.

    We hired the paddock/stables for a big party for our 10th anniversary and it was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful site that made for a gorgeous backdrop for photos. People were really bowled over. Friendly staff who helped with everything And were super relaxed. Also incredibly affordable! We didn’t hire extra toilets and for 70 people that was fine. Stables have some glasses etc but we hired our own to avoid having to wash everything up at the end. Only slight niggle is that you have to take your rubbish with you as no bins on site. We took to the Thriplow tip which is pretty close. Highly recommend for a party :)

    Highly recommend. Stunning surroundings, fields, woods, iron age hill fort, a Roman Road, highland cows, tree tunnels... It felt like a very special, magical place. The coffee stand was great, and much needed too!

    I recently visited this Forest Park and was amazed by the beauty of the area. From the vast meadows to the majestic trees, Forest Park has something for everyone. The park's trails take you through a variety of different environments, from prairies to forests and even wetlands. The trails are also fairly well-maintained, making them easy to navigate. The park also has plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds, making it a great place to spend the day with family or friends. Another great thing about Forest Park is the variety of wildlife that can be seen. I saw several species of birds, deer, and other animals while exploring the park. All in all, Forest Park is an amazing place to explore and enjoy nature. Highly recommended!

    First time visiting and it's a really nice place, lots of trails, bird watching and farm animals. Nice coffee truck as well, parking is limited so get there early 😀

    `Lovely large park with easy parking and a joy to visit with the family and dog. Very large park. Well signposted but still easy to get lost lol. Go there many times with the family. Better than paying money to see the botanical gardens which is purely for the tourists at the prices they charge.

    Lovely Walking spot. Parking is a fixed payment irregardless of how long you stay. Seems best to stay for a while to get the benefit. Nice scenary and dog friendly on the lead.

    We adored this place! So many potential walking trails; a spectacular location with nature galore. The beech avenue was exquisite and the highland cows were also a highlight. There is lots of room for all and space for the kids to run about and burn off energy; picnic areas and a coffee truck for the adults. We arrived via bicycle but the car park is spacious and on a glorious crisp autumnal day although full, the park itself has plenty of space for all.

    What a beautiful country park. Even in winter there is much to see. It can get a little muddy on some of the tracks but that is to be expected at this time of the year so a pair of wellies would be a good idea. There is wildlife here in abundance and the Highland cattle are beautiful. Parking is cheap and with its 8 miles of tracks and footpaths there are loads of signposts so you won't get lost. Will definitely return here.

    Absolutely wonderful place to visit, have been going for over 30 years. From the house and its grounds, to the guided walks learning the history including back to when it was an ancient fort. There’s the remains of the plane that crashed in the woods in WW2 to the bird hide and well maintained paths which make it so much more accessible. The tree tunnel at the back toward the Roman Road is wonderful all year around and the maintaining of the area is done brilliantly. A recent addition of a pop up cafe in a horse box is great for a cheeky treat at the end of a long walk. Finally the flowers from January- April are a carpet of beauty and the Highland cows are very entertaining.

    I love Wandlebury.my life is richer for it. It is a wonderful place to escape to and lose yourself in nature. It offers great conditions for walking in both summer and winter; offering shelter from the rain/sun should you need it. I would like to see more pathways open again, but that is my only minor grumble. Thank you to all those who help to look after the estate. Keep up the good work!

    Lovely long walk from fulbourn to wandlebury and really nice walk around the forest and ancient site of the ring fort

  • 5/5 Caroline S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely woodland walks and interesting features. The hill fort ring is well defined and easy to walk, and the gardens are full of snowdrops at the moment. All relatively flat and easy to walk. The cows are lovely to see.

    Wild meadows, meandering forest paths, Highlands coos! Canopy of old trees. Perfect for a lazy day walk in the country.

  • 4/5 Miri H. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful woodland with lots to see. The car park isn't huge, however, when I arrived on a fairly busy Sunday there was a couple spaces left. It is great for birdwatching and snapping photographs of landscapes and bugs. They also have the 'Gogs farm shop' just around the corner.

    Beautiful park, great for kids to explore around. Parking is about £4 for a whole day. Quiet place not far from city. Easy to drive to. Nice cafe with contactless payment accepted. Much recommended to visit.
