Lived near here for a long time and blessed to have this on my doorstep, especially during lockdown. Its a semi wild country park so if you're looking for somewhere more civilised with a cafe and toilets, this is not the place for you but it is great for nature walks. Claybury is ancient woodland and open spaces with a large variety of flora and fauna, loads of birds including wild parakeets and i have spotted muntjac deer although they are shy so rare to see them.

Read moreI am the most closest person to live near this park as out of my house and am at the gate of the park. I don't like to walk, but occasionally if I have to, it's like a preserved forest with a lot of woodpeckers in it (need a lot of patience to find them), I know more as I live in Repton Park and trees of this park are on two sides of where I live and birds keep on coming at home and if plan for a long long walk inside, then come across these birds or atleast can hear them which by itself is a pleasant experience. If you are nature lover, it can give some satisfactory feeling. Kids play ares for young kids is also one of its kind, small but worth relaxing...
