Always a beautiful place to visit a tranquil location in the middle of a busy surroundings. Great walks tons of wildlife to see and picnic benches to break up a journey.

There are lots of ducks, geese & swans on the lake which are lovely to sit and watch. In the car park (free parking) there is also a little cafe selling hot & cold drinks, ice creams & snacks with a few tables outside. It's a lovely relaxing little spot especially in...
