A great place, perfect location, lots of space plenty of walks.
Would definitely recommend. 💯
Downside, the parking system is a shambles. You pay for either 2 hours or all day, plus the machines don't work, an App to pay is suggested, which we don't have or want & visitors with the App said it didn't work ! Hence had to pay in the coffee shop for parking ! That aside, we had a lovely time
Wheel chair and dog friendly. There's loads of shady areas for the hot days and couple of ice cream vans around the park.
Now this place is vast...
Plenty of parking, for a fee.
Fantastic outdoor play park with plenty for all ages, enclosed for safe playing.
Theres a lovely little cafe to get drinks or snacks and facilities behind too.
There was even a section of rides, trampolines and a mini golf for the school holidays.
That's all before you walk around, Wayne Manor as its fondly known, stands imposing on the hill top over looking the land, park, cafes and the lake.
After refreshments at the courtyard cafe by the hall you can walk round the lake and through the woodland, where you meet the residents of this impressive estate of natural beauty.
Pack a picnic, pair of trainers and get yourself down there.. old, young or with the kids.
Coffee shops and gift shops are on site as well with varying degrees of quality but the coffee we had was pretty good. Staff in those shops could be a little more helpful however.
All in all its a varied and wonderful place that could probably do with a few adjustments in some areas. Eg the museum needs to bring back more of the taxidermy as its historic and very unique and educational. Also the parking is diabolical, expensive for one but also requires an app to use which is Ill thought out considering there's literally no signal there. So it loses a star for that but otherwise a fantastic day out.
