We love the country park in all seasons. We go pond dipping, feed the horses and stroke the pigs at the farm. The kids love it and get freedom to go off the path in the wooded areas to hunt gruffalo! The play area is great after a long walk although not much for toddlers. There are toilets and a cafe too.
