Dog Walking

The parkland is a great place for a dog walk and you'll probably see plenty of other owners on a fine day. There are some areas with livestock so please keep them on a lead here.

To continue your walking in the area pick up the Wat's Dyke Way Heritage Trail. The waymarked trail passes the park and offers a good opportunity for exploring the surrounding area.
