What a great place for a walk. Plenty of wide paths and lots that have tarmac paths. I find if you get there before 7 am you have most of the park to yourself which is great if you're into wildlife photography. Around 9am it starts getting busy right up until dusk. Dogs are allowed even though when not on a lead they chase the ducks and do there business in the woods so some owners don't pick it up. Fishing is allowed day and night with a permit. The downside to the park is that they don't have a proper café with toilets which I think would benefit the park. Plenty of wildlife to see and a small park for the little one's. There are benches and picnic tables dotted around the park.

Great park with two big lakes, woodlands and plenty open spaces to throw a ball for your dog or enjoy a picnic when the weather permits. In summer you can do wild swimming. There's also a couple of places where you can grab some food and a drink. I've knocked a point off as it's not as nice lately due to all the people living in vans and tents around the park. It wouldn't be an issue if they had a little more respect for the area. But they make fires on the grassed areas next to the river and leave bags of rubbish all over the place. They also use the park as a public toilet and fish illegally. The council should move them on if they can't have a little respect for the park.

A pleasant easy walk. Suitable for children, balance bikes and scooters. (although a bit muddy in places in wet weather) There is a small play park part of the way around, with toilets. Plenty of benches on the route. The scenery is nothing special and you don't see much of the lake for half the route. There are a couple of tree sculptures to spot. It took us 1.5 hours with 5 children in tow and a stop at the church ruins. There is a small information hut at the start. I believe they sell drinks and snacks but I didn't go in. Parking is a flat rate if £2.

Colwick Country Park is every bit a nature lover’s dream - a setting awash with lush flora and fauna, this spot offers any urban dweller the perfect respite. I highly recommend walking/ running along the complete circular route that the park offers as there’re many breathtaking sights to behold. A complete circle is approximately 3 kilometres. If you’re fond of water fowl, bring some seeds (bread messes up their digestion) along with you and the natives will reward you with a a warm hello!

Fantastic spot for anyone who loves the outdoors. It's incredibly huge, offering multiple bike paths that make it perfect for cycling or running. The park has beautiful lake viewpoints that are great for relaxing, and you'll often spot plenty of ducks around. What stands out is how clean the paths are. There are also plenty of benches where you can take a break and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, it's a refreshing place to escape the city and enjoy some tranquility.

Beautiful, clean and spacious park with lots of areas to have a bbq or picnic. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the car park inside was closed, however, the posters and information weren’t very clear as to why or if we could go in. The only people allowed in were those that had keys to boats etc.. this meant we had to park outside and as we were having a bbq we had to carry everything into the park.. that was a good 15 minute walk which wasn’t ideal (with 4 kids)
