This gentle parkland walk is aimed at a beginner level for those who are either new to exercise or who haven’t been active in a while and are wishing to return to some gentle form of physical activity whilst enjoying the company of others.
The park offers a variety of different walking routes, some with gentle climbs and descents. In addition, the park also has a boating lake and benefits from toilet & cafe facilities, as well as an animal & farm centre. Whilst there are many walking routes available with the park, the walk usually ends at the Garden Centre Cafe; The Hidden Gem, where most walkers choose to order lunch or enjoy light refreshments.
For those walkers wishing to be led back to the start point, the Walk Leaders continue onward from this point (after a short break) returning to the start point by 12:30pm.
