😐 Very busy due to the Scotsman. Great place to visit. Only thing that dropped the rating for me was a certain demographic that pushed my 4 year old out the way to get past and take pictures. Happened more than once. Yes the trains are from your generation but they are for everyone to enjoy. Who do yo...

Tourist attraction
😠 It looked like a lovely park , but I took my dog as it's a member of my family and got thrown out by Park Security , as no dogs are aloud to even walk on a lead anywhere in the park. Never going to that park again , what a shame.
