👍👍 After a lovely winter walk around Rowntree Park, what better than to warm up with a coffee and cake? This is a lovely homely cafe and reading space. Always busy, sometimes seats aren't available, but thats not so bad as you can get drinks and food to go and eat at one of the many spots in the park....

👍👍 Lovely park land area with open space and woodland right next to the park and ride

Picturesque retreat providing grassy green spaces, walking trails & lake access for kayaking.

👍👍 A lovely walk, well looked after by caring volunteers. Watched the heron today.

👍 Walk my dog here pretty much every day. It’s a good space apart from all the dog mess that’s left by lazy owners so you have to watch your step! A few holes dug by the wildlife can make you roll your ankle as well… careful steps :-)

👍👍 Tower Gardens is a nice little oasis of calm around the famous Cliffords Tower. The gardens are a bit plain to be honest ,it's the views of the great architectural sites such as the obelisk and Cliffords Tower that make it worth the visit,some great photogenic opportunities ,there's bench seating to...

👍👍 Our 5 and 1 year old really enjoyed themselves on the climbing frame and slides. Will definitely recommend to young families.
