Van Man

Fantastic walk with the children. Approximately 3.5km long. Not a lot of parking available though. Picnic tables, 50 meters in from the parking area. The walk is fairly level but before you come back on the loop you have an uphill section, fortunately a bench at the bottom and the top. On the way back, the kids get to decide which off the main track path we head off on. They love it. This is where our children saw their first red squirrel and heard a woodpecker!! Place is noticeably free of litter and dog poo everytime we go, thank goodness.

We love bringing the children here when we go into town! Racing to the top of the hill, rolly polly back down, off to feed the ducks and swans (and crows) and up to the playground after the children go and see the sunken boats!! On a good day the ice cream van is there for a well deserved treat!!! But the last few visits have been disappointing as littering getting worse each time we visit,(and beer cans dotted around the place), such a shame people can't respect such a beautiful local amenity! ☹

Had a Beautiful walk through the woods with the children. A few walks of varying distances to choose from. Then back through the Exercise park on the way to the kids playground. Has lovely large grass area with picnic tables beside the playground, big enough to kick ball!!! Clean toilets and a coffee trailer in the carpark!
