Kearsney Abbey Gardens — Attraction in Dover

The gardens and parks are easy accessible by bus and foot. However if you want to park the gates close really early which is a pain when you have young adults with disabilities who love the parks but not the noise. Which is why for the last 20yrs we have always gone in late evening with them. The parks and amenities are clean. The cafe is well priced for all budgets and there is two village shops 5 mins walk each way from the park if you need essentials like baby wipes or nappies or suncream. Wheelchair friendly. Only gave a 4 star due to the wait in the cafe, 20mins for a drink, not because it was particularly busy but due to staff chatting to eachother. Also due to lack of toilets (now have 2 outdoor toilets used to have 2 blocks of toilets with quite a few toilets in each) in the summer this could get very busy. Unsure of baby changing facilities as I wasn't looking. Overall a grat place to visit with kids to burn of energy, walk the dogs or just sit and reminisce about past times or escape the world in a book. Dogs must be on leads one side of lake and be mindful of...

Very big park in kinda 2 parts. Main part have open water with many bridges over small streams/rivers and 2 ponds in park. Parking is free, so that is awsome but in buisy times carpark is full. There is separate only disabled parking by main building (cab buy hot drinks there, but I have never been inside). Disabled parking have opening and closing time but other carpark have been open all the time for last few months. Most footpaths are gravel not tarmac, something to consider if you want to keep your shoes clean. Lots of birds if you like feedig or looking (swans, ducks, some albino ducks, seagals and gees). Have fenced off kids play area. Lots and lots of space for pickniks or wondering around. Other part is more rough, have some main foothpahs but if you feel adventurous you can go off main footpaths and cross rivers in many places by jumping from rock to rock or using fallen trees, me and my 4year old enjoyed it a lot, hee needed alot of help as you must have great...
