Very friendly visitor centre with good selection of food. Seats outside, dogs welcome. Limited parking. We probably only did a quarter of the walks on offer from this point. We did the river walk and sculpture trail for about 3 hours, good places along the river for children to get down and plodge. Other walks are signposted so we will definitely return.

Had a great walk around the woods today, I really loved the carvings and amount of fungi we seen, at the end we popped into the cafe for a bacon sandwich and a coffee, not kidding one bit here or exaggerating in any way when i say I just had the nicest bacon sandwich I've ever had (that I did not make myself), the bacon was high quality and there was loads in too, the buns were delicious and everything was just right, add on that a warm welcome and great service from the person running the cafe, such a refreshing experiences 😀 please check my most recent review before this one to understand what I am talking about there 🤐

A total gem. Very reasonable and lovely food in the cafe, and some free trails for the kids to pick up to help them engage in the walks- spotting leaves, insects and animal prints. Great way to access some of the derwent walk.

This park is best in this country, very clean and safe for kids ,older people, families, you can ride on pushbikes,walking, hijacking, etc you can do what you want to chill out,getting rest ,a lots forest and home animals,birds,best coffee what even had from long time,friendly staff😘😘😘thank you for free cake,was delicious 😋😛😘 just what I think on my opinion needs some more good tourists,tracks are cleaned and clean from bad tourists what leave plastic, cans and rest of rubbish...definitely recommend to take day out 😁😁😁😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰

So many walks start here. Head down to the Derwent or stick to the Woodland paths. Free but limited parking and a cheap and cheerful visitor centre and café. A brilliant family day out in any weather and at any time of year.

Fabulous walks with great views. A lot of birds to tick off your list if you're a twitcher. A great little tea room within the visitor centre offering a good selection of treats to accompany a cuppa to finish off your day perfectly

Really nice place for a walk or cycling. It is my new favourite trail.

This is a fantastic place to visit, great walks, a woodland sculpture trail, dog friendly and cycle routes, has all bases covered. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful wild nature at its best with hides and a great cafe. Various walks from easy to extreme aswell as wooden art structures of the animals in that habitat. Great day out

A smashing place to spend a few minutes or a few hours. Brilliant sculptures along the short woodland trail and always lots of wildlife to see, if you have a little patience and can be quiet. It's good that there is a cafe there, but it could do with being spruced up a bit.

The peace and quiet and visible wildlife is what dreams are made of. A lot of work has gone into making the trails such a pleasure to take a walk for everyone. I absolutely love it.

Beautiful walk with amazing wood sculptures, sculpture walk OK for families but other parts of the walk are extremely hilly, views from the viaduct are outstanding

Visited today with our dog and have to say, the staff were so lovely. It was busy but well organised and they let us know there would be a little wait for our food before we ordered as there had been a rush on which I appreciated. They provide complimentary dog treats and water and there are free activity sheets and sculpture trail booklets for kids as well as lots of wildlife info. Our food was fab - all homemade. A slice of corned beef pie with beens, cheese and chorizo toastie with crisps, 2 choc orange brownies and 2 drinks for £15 was excellent value. We will try and pop in more regularly.

If you’ve not visited this amazing place your definitely missing on on a treat, the walks are fantastic but for me the wildlife is something different with loads to see

Beautiful place. Excellent walking trail esp along a stream.highly recommended for a lovely picnic.

Nice walk, if you go early you have a good chance if spotting the local deer, have also seen a fox and loads of Grey Squirrel. Bluebell's beautiful around May, currently loads of Foxgloves, wild Roses and Honeysuckle.

Brilliant place to go for a short walk. Lots of carvings to enjoy on the way and squirrels.

Definitely recommend it's a nice place to explore and the best place to park for the nine arches viaduct

Great place to go waking, lots of trails to pick from , sculpture trail is good , short with lots of carved sculptures to look out for , cafe does great bacon butties and hot chocolate, other snacks and drinks available.
