Chasewater Country Park - Staffordshire County Council — Attraction in Lichfield

Our first visit to Chasewater Country park, I would have given it 5 stars but the kissing gates lets it down i had to break my disability scooter down to get through them , Had there been signs saying kissing gates on the route we took we would have gone another way round to avoid them ,Its about time this sort of gate is outlawed and replaced with spring loaded normal gates . This is a stunning country park and the wild Red Deer are a sight to behold if you can spot them, A popular place for dog walkers and over the 3 mile route we took there were very few rubbish bins and there were pooh bags hanging from trees and along the path ways some dog owners need to take a long hard look at themselves , Get there early if you want to park your car it gets busy very fast and there is a small parking charge that you pay at the visitors centre , Blue badge holders park free but there are no allotted disabled parking bays , The only toilets are at the visitors centre and the two train station cafes , Would i personally go...

First time I've been here and what a find.there is plenty of parking and very reasonably priced.£3 for all-day or £1 for two hours.if you have kids there's a playground for them to enjoy while adults can sit on the benches and enjoy a drink or little snack from the cafe. There isn't a big choice of food at the café,little example toastie,panini,jacket potatoes but it does do Costa drinks.this is also where the public toilets are.Alittle further down and there is a place that does ice cream etc. I did see an old adventure golf there but not sure if was open but looks like it's in need of alot of TLC.i came for a walk around the water,this was so nice,the paths are wide enough for people to walk and also cyclists to pass.The walk takes you from water views to tree/wildlife and even a steam train,If it's running. On my visit I was lucky enough to see deer close up which was amazing.first time here but won't...
