Brilliant place my children and I love it. Can also take scooters/bikes etc for the children and it makes it more fun. Taking the train and lake crossing is brilliant for children and adults. Highly recommended.

Have loved this place for many years now, it's an amazing place to visit.
Highly recommend it with children or adults. Trams make it easy to move about in the grounds, and the peacocks are a beautiful sight.

We come here once a week, it's a lovely day out, great play area for children, lots of birds and swans, and nice to relax with a coffee overlooking the castle.
