Description

This country park gets quite busy during the summer and at weekends due to watersports enthusiasts. So a weekday visit is advised. During Spring/Autumn/Winter especially in cold weather it is less busy. The lakes are good for duck species especially when severe freezing conditions to the north force movement. There are two lakes, one large and one small, open grass areas and woodland. During Winter when trees lose their leaves you get better views around the lakes.
