Stephens House & Gardens

Really nice park to walk lots of interesting of winding paths to walk around and the car park is free good place to take the kids.

Small but cosy garden - do a few rounds at a brisk walk! Surprised to find that the Knights Templar once owned this land! Has a small pond with actual fish in it...peaceful atmosphere. Children's playground for their enjoyment. Nice, reasonably priced and warm cafe on site (with a wide variety of menu items inc. Full English breakfast, jacket potatoes and sandwiches). Variety of theatre shows and concerts etc held on its grounds - ticket purchase required. Roads opposite the park and across the other side have free parking most of the times of the day (check).

Lovely place, clean and not that busy most of the time during the day. I would appreciate it more if the opening times would be till 8-9pm, they close at 6pm. Enjoy a beautiful and quiet place every morning

A lovely serene garden. Wonderful cafe in an old stables settings. Very well signposted for disabled patrons. Well behaved dogs on leads. Two girls in the cafe serving us this morning were extremely helpful and polite. The breakfast was cooked superbly. Praises all around for this gem.

Beautiful little park in the grounds of a fancy old Manor house.
Plenty of charm and character, full of little nooks and pathways to explore,
Secret gardens, little hillocks, winding pathways, a nice pond, mini waterfall and rockery area, plenty of nice trees and green grass, multiple play areas for kids, lots to explore.
With a fantastic little café at the top of the green in the old converted stables.

Very good place, the playground overall is great There are multiple swings however where older children can play. There is also the biggest see-saw I have ever seen in my life, worth going to the playground just for the see-saw. The surrounding plant life is also very green all year round and very mood-enhancing. I'd recommend taking a look at the map before travelling across the park since the small paths can be quite confusing. The only downside is the cafe food price, however if this shouldn't be much of an issue if you're just here to walk or play.
Overall I'd say a good age range for the play-equipment is 3-13

It is a great park both in the winter and the summer. One of my fave places to sit down to eat or lie on the grass and sunbathe on sunny day! And this place be so peaceful at the same time! Spacious area, shaded with trees, lovely flowers and plenty of benches to sit!

Beautiful garden with varied plants, arts, sitting area, cafe, children's playground and home to Terapia@ The Bothy. There are lots of events taking place here with leaflets on other events too, so really nice and tranqui.
