Burntstump Country Park
Country park
ππ Oh my gosh this place is absolutely amazing for walking your doggies! Don't let the mucky sign fool you, this place is a gem! There's a big green field just off the car park (which is free π₯³). This is perfect for my doggies, because, I don't know about you guys, but they have to blow off some steam...

π Very good park for walking but the winding engine museum has very limited opening hours (along with the cafe) and was closed by the time I got there. Wish I would have known before I went.
