Hakkında
Hızlı bilgiler: Local families have been feeding the park's resident swans and geese for decades, with some birds returning year after year to the same ponds. The park sits on 200 acres of ancient woodland and lakes, originally part of a 19th century estate built around a Victorian boating lake.
Öne çıkanlar: Walk past the main lake toward the quieter western edge, and you'll find a hidden heronry where grey herons have nested in the same treetops for over 30 years. On quiet mornings, you can watch them swoop down to fish in the still water just meters from the path.
İçeriden ipuçları
- Head to the smaller Swan Lake rather than the main boating lake for a more peaceful wildlife experience with fewer crowds.
- The woodchip paths can get muddy after rain, so wear sturdy waterproof shoes or wellies in wet weather.
- Bring birdseed or defrosted frozen peas for the swans and ducks, as bread is bad for their health.
- Visit the small visitor center near the main car park for a free map showing the best walking trails.
