Overall Rating

Excellent

Located on the edge of the town beside The Dukes golf course , this is a gem if you want to spend a few peaceful hours in beautiful gardens with good facilities. Lots of kids activities too although some are chargeable. Access is great with mostly tarmac paths all round.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Tarmac paths mostly with some stretches fine gravel but all of it good wheelchair and scooter surface.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

Realistically , you will need a car to get there although there is an infrequent bus service, but there are an adequate number of disabled bays right at the entrance.

Accessible Toilets

Good

Located beside the café and picnic area but there are also loos in a block in the middle of the park.

Staff

Good

Those we spoke to were very helpful and friendly.

Additional Information

Entrance is free as is the parking for all , only some kids activities are chargeable. Most important , if you want somewhere to spend a few hours in peace and quiet going round the beautiful gardens and grab a coffee or light meal in the café on a nice day then this is a bit of a hidden gem.
