What a lovely gem this is. It is not the biggest of parks but it is beautiful and it has a little bit for everyone. Up for a gentle stroll? Yes, come to Bramcote park and walk around a beautiful field among some old trees and take a seat on some of the many benches. Up for a walk with your doggies? Yep great for that too. A free carpark is also an added bonus. To the top of the park there's a woodlandy area which is full of character. Again it is not huge but nonetheless it's great for a cardio walk and the doggies too. We have been a few times now and I'm sure we will visit a few more. 🥰
I did not quite know what to make of this place, it's a bit of a miss mash of everything ☺️. We followed Google maps to get here. It does take you to the entrance but this is not clearly signposted so just look around you can't miss it. You can also park on the road for free. The first part of the reserve is a forest with wide pathways which were a bit muddy so wellies are highly recommended ☺️ This part is not that big you can walk around it and in between in 20min. Once You reach the other end you'll see a bit of a clearing and a river. Please be careful as the banks are steep and the river deep. Continue walking and you'll see a bridge. Across it there's more woodland to explore, however this one is very dense. Now there are lots of signs at the beginning that say "no horse riding". Please just be very very mindful, especially if you have curious doggies, that horses are permitted on the pathways just not to be ridden on.
Been meaning to take the doggies here for awhile now, so we finally did. Ok so it's not as big of a woodland as I imagined but it is still a decent size. Took us about an hour and a half to walk around and in between. There are a variety of trees and wide pathways which are mainly flat so great for a leisurely stroll or a bike ride. There is also a small free carpark at the entrance which is a bonus. When you enter the woodland you would notice a few wider trails. These double up as bridleways so please be aware of this if you have a bit of a bubbly doggie. Now the reason for the 4*. If you take the pathway to your right you can hear the road. I do not know if it's a bit echoey or what but it is very very loud. It put me off a bit as I wanted to leave. Having said that if you continue walking and bare to the middle or the left side the noise subdues.

This is a beautiful place to visit for a picnic or bike ride. The park is huge and there are good pathways all around. Some of the big ones have been gravelled but if you fancy a track there are plenty of them just off the main one. The carpark is free which is a bonus. Please be mindful if you're taking your doggies to be vigilant as even though there are pathways that say no horseriders you might still come across one.

This place is absolutely amazing!!! We actually found it by accident cause we took the wrong turn but so glad we did. It's really tucked away. Parking is free just near the entrance on the side of the road. There's space for about 4-5 cars and further spaces up and down that road. When you enter you think ok so small woodland park, nothing too exciting, then you pass the Rememberance Garden down the trail and boom you are seeing forest, fields and big lake with lots of birdies and vegitation. Honestly it is just beautiful and so peaceful 😍 Must see! The doggies loved it so we are definitely going back!! 🥰
