Melton Country Park — Attraction in Melton

Melton Country Park is a popular Park for residents and visitors alone or with families and friends. It is a great place for walking cycling running and exploring as well as for playing football, outdoor games, walking dogs and picnics. There is a fantastic cafe and community centre open for takeaway hot and cold food and drinks every day during this lockdown. Melton Space run events there throughout the year in normal non pandemic times.

Other than that, it is a lovely place for a stroll...
